I hadn't looked at flags yet. Thomas's concern, and I think a valid one, is that if we move it from contrib into the main tree, people may accidentally run pg_resetxlog without understanding the issues involved. We have it /contrib partly to make sure it isn't installed in the default path for all admins. What do people want? We can rethink this. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
