sure -- it's my fault for starting the conversation back up. I was wondering about supporting older version checks, but only because I was unaware of the 'machine' variant of the version check (server_version_num), which properly supports numerical ordering for historical versions. If there's anything to do here, maybe we ought to document that server_version_num should be used for checking version a little more strongly. Judging by google searching, this is as not widely known as it should be. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
