I'm saying I'm not happy about promoting that to the status of a supported feature. Up to now it's always been "if it breaks you get to keep both pieces", but if there's a built-in function to do it then people will naturally expect a certain level of reliability. Maybe it works fine, maybe it doesn't. But I foresee having to expend work down the road because of this addition. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
