Hm. I'm a bit dubious about enabling warnings that are so admittedly heuristic as this. They admit that the warnings might be wrong, and yet document no way to shut them up. I think we might be better advised to not enable this warning. 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
