The problem with using just major version there is that then we are *wiring into the on-disk representation* the assumption that pg_migrator only goes from one major version to the next. I agree that we're not likely to start supporting cross-alpha-version migration any time soon, but I don't think it's wise to foreclose the possibility of ever doing it. 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
