See thread starting at http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2002-07/msg00814.php We can revisit that decision if you like, but you must convince us that it was wrong, not just say "of course we should change it". regards, tom lane ---------------------------(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
