No, on closer inspection the bug was introduced here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2008-10/msg00118.php so 8.3 was OK. In a non-asserting build the only consequence would have been that checks for conflicting names were done in the wrong namespace. Given the improbability of a conflict, we could have gone a very long time before noticing the problem. But it was still wrong. 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
