The question is whether we are willing to back-patch a fairly large amount of not-very-well-tested code into 8.0. See http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2005-02/msg00123.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2005-02/msg00127.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2005-02/msg00131.php I personally don't think it's worth the risk. The code works well enough to commit to development tip, but it's fundamentally alpha quality code. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
