This is too involved a change at this stage. I don't expect postgresql.conf to change any more from 7.4->8.0 than from 8.0->8.1 so I don't see why this is more critical for this release, and it has too many open issues. > Second, Jan promised at OSCON to fix up server-side prepare so it actually > works even if you do not have the exact types to pass in.

Promising does not mean it will get into CVS. I am not in favor of doing any of these things for 8.0. We are far past feature freeze. If someone wants these, they are going to have to make a persuasive argument to the community. -- 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 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
