The initial patch was the feature plus some code refactoring included. That was what the author said. I asked him to submit the refactoring and the feature as two separate patches. What I got was a refactoring subpatch that actually made the code longer in terms of lines, which must be the very first code refactoring ever to achieve that. I did not get a satisfying answer on why that has to be, so I sort of lost interest in working with that patch. That does not mean that the patch is bad, and I certainly support the feature change. But I can't efficiently review the patch. If someone else wants to do it, go ahead. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
