For my part, I didn't actually see it as being a questionable use-case from the start.. That was obviously incorrect, though I didn't know that previously. The general idea has been discussed a couple of times before, at least as far back as 2005: http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/430f78e0.9020...@cs.concordia.ca It's also a feature available in other databases (at least MySQL and Oracle, but I'm pretty sure others also). I can also recall chatting with folks about it a couple of times over the years at various conferences. Still, perhaps it would have been better to post about the idea before the patch, but hindsight is often 20/20. Thanks! Stephen
