Going and working on it on your own doesn't seem like the proper solution. I don't see people objecting to adding it, but they want it work, which I am sure you want too. You have to show how it will work and convince others of that, and then you have a higher chance it will work, and be in the PostgreSQL codebase. -- Bruce Momjian [EMAIL PROTECTED] EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---------------------------(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
