Considering that we feel free to whack that file format around, and that it's stored in a directory that non-postgres users shouldn't even be able to read, I think this argument is just silly. The only alternative fix that was proposed in this thread http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-performance/2009-08/msg00094.php involved changing the flat files into a format that would definitely not be easily readable by other programs, anyway. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
