I meant it would cause other solutions to be less desirable, meaning. as you said, "affect the ability to investigate other solutions?" With a working solution, others may be less likely to investigate because Postgres-R will be our official solution. (I believe that was your major negative point.) However, with the hooks already there, people may be _more_ likely to investigate solutions, so there is really no way to know. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc G.
