I know so maintainig of PostgreSQL isn't easy. And it's normal so everybody wont to see commit of your patch. The comunication with core developers is best, but some times I have opinion so some patches are lost - for example my little patch SQLSTATE, .. I remeber situation one year ago with named params of plpgsql function. Patch waited half of year. I don't wont to be negative :-)). PostgreSQL did big progress. Really. And last modification of plpgsql helped my in work. But its human natural. I looking for others nows. I am expectant for 2PC, hiearch queries, and ... PostgreSQL isn't only sw for me, it's more like idol :-) Best Regards, Pavel Stehule ---------------------------(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
