We're back to the old discussion, I guess.. I'm happy to see it as an extension, but I think it should be included with the standard installation. Like we do with for example pl/pgsql (which I realize has a dependency on the backend anyway, so it can't be done another way easily) and pl/perl (which doesn't, AFAIK, so it's a better example) > ATM I'm not sure it's even a good idea to push pgsql_fdw into contrib. > Once we do that its release schedule will get locked to core's --- > wouldn't it be better to keep flexibility for now, while it's in such > active development? I would be happy to keep it outside, and integrate it in the final CF for example :) -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
