I can do a vote. However, seeing many positive comments about the patch, and 1-2 negative ones (with no suggestion on how to improve it), I don't think the negative votes will win. I usually do a vote when the email comments are coming in kind of close. Specifically, in the thread, I have Vince and Peter as negative, and >7 positive, I think. Look at the contraints I am under to implement what is effectively username schemas: small patch, no bloat, because it isn't a core feature multiple global users no namespace collisions between global/non-global users zero performance impact 32-byte user string coming from the client Specifically, what is ugly about it? Is it that global users have an @ at the end of their names? How do we prevent namespace collisions _without_ doing this? I am all ears. -- 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 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
