Right, but I wasn't sure if that'd be considered acceptable. So, in a nutshell, if all the other issues of pg_upgrade get ironed out and the only blocker was a change in the on-disk format of a type, including both the old and the new versions in the next major release would be an option seriously considered. Well, that's got to make it easiesr. Have a nice day, -- Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@svana.org> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > From each according to his ability.
