Contrary to what the subject suggests, I think the main reason people wanted this feature was to be able to set the linestyle to unicode without getting a warning from older releases about unknown linestyle or something. But in a few years, they'll have to maintain .psqlrc-9.2, .psqlrc-9.3, .psqlrc-9.4, etc. That doesn't sound like a useful long-term solution either. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
