Existing hooks were not fully complete in their coverage. That has happened before, and we have discussed that before on hackers, so I took care not to deviate from that implementation. This is a very low impact change, isn't in a new area and similar optimizer related changes were made recently, so I saw little to object to in this particular change. No such hooks are documented, even ones with strong use cases. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
