First, I don't need to see a 300-line pg_dump restore output to know it is a bug. Second, what you didn't do is to address the rest of my paragraph: > I am not a fan of backpatching any of this.

We have to balance the _one_ user failure report we have received vs. potential breakage. Now, others seem to be fine with a backpatch, so perhaps it is safe. I am merely pointing out that, with all backpatching, we have to balance the fix against possible breakage and behavioral change. -- Bruce Momjian <[email protected]> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + Everyone has their own god. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
