I can well imagine that they'll never adopt it on their own given that history. Anyway, given the lack of complaints about our pre-8.2 behavior, it seems clear that "JDT" is not an abbreviation in use now, so I'm content to leave it out of the files. Anybody working with historical info can always add it for themselves. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
