Considering that neither Tom nor I was convinced that this was a good idea AT ALL, I'm surprised you committed it in the first place. I'd be more inclined to revert it than back-patch it, but at least if we only change it in HEAD we have some chance of finding out whether or not it is in fact a bad idea before it's too late to change our mind. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
