Personally I think that's a fine goal to aim for. I'm not sure what "to be considered a relational database" means but I consider a bug whenever there's a case where this isn't true. It may be a bug that we don't have a good solution for or a bug that's too minor for the amount of effort it would require but it's still not right and if we found a solution that we were happy with we would definitely want to fix it. -- greg http://mit.edu/~gsstark/resume.pdf -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
