What is this, some kind of game of chicken? Surely we're trying to settle on a sensible rule here, not get into a mud-wrestling match. I can live with the rule you've articulated but I think it's more complicated than necessary, and I certainly don't want to see it further complicated. Let's get it written down in a README file someplace and not be moving the goalposts henceforth. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
