We've stomped many of the worst limitations since then, so I think that for 8.4->9.0 it might be a credible solution.

I think the main bit of work that would be needed to put it into contrib would be to SGML-ize the docs. Don't know if Bruce has got the time to get that done. 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
