I don't agree. There is an important difference between fixing a performance regression and making a performance improvement. If a change made in 8.0 resulted in a significant, unintentional performance regression, I think there would be grounds for fixing it (assuming the fix was fairly noninvasive). The aggregate patch addresses a problem that has existed for a long time (7.4 at the least); I don't see the need to delay 8.0 to fix it. -Neil ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
