I suspect that some of the participants in this thread have PL/Proxy in mind. PL/Proxy should probably ship its own set of hash functions. If we ever get built-in partitioning by hash (see thread nearby and most previous ones like it), we should also think about providing a hash function that doesn't change output over versions and is independent of hash index implementation concerns. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
