I think many people want such a feature, so the requirement is good. The code itself merely reflects your design, so what I would really like to see is a full explanation of this. If the generalisation is to be accepted we need a very clear explanation of how it works and details of the API since that is what's needed to allow other people besides yourself to begin using it for patches in 9.1. If we can see the docs on that SGML/README form then we'll be able to more quickly agree how to proceed. After that, reviewing your patch against that design will be easy/ier. Let's go for this in stages. If we can get something basic and useful for lots of people in this commitfest, we can layer on the other stuff later. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training and Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
