And also because this patch had no review input regarding Windows and EXEC_BACKEND. I would suggest pinging the author (just did so), waiting for a fix a bit, and move on with 4. if nothing happens. We usually require that a patch includes support for Windows as a requirement (see for example discussions about why pg_fincore in not a contrib module even if it overlaps a bit with pg_prewarm), why would this patch have a different treatment? -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
