We did have a discussion on whether we should enable threading by default, and the issue was that we don't even have enough platforms supported at this point, so by running configure with the thread flag, you are asking us to generate a threaded libpq and ecpg, and we will fail if we can't. On BSD/OS, that flag does nothing (the binaries are the same), but we have the flag so people can know if their libs are thread-safe. I think the template files are the way to go at this point. If we support threads on all/most of our platforms, we can think about doing something by default. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
