I don't mind if we keep it on pure-POSIX platforms. But one of the nicer developments on Windows in recent(?) times is that you can actually use any kind of line separator and most programs still work correctly (with the notable exception of Notepad). The drawback of this is that you never really know what kind of line separator a program is actually going to write, especially when you start mixing Cygwin, MinGW, and native. So this newline consistency check is not only going to be pretty annoying on Windows, it's going to cancel a feature of the operating system environment. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(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
