When suggested, it wasn't clear to me that it did break anything, otherwise I wouldn't have written it up. I read Alvaro's post and wondered why that proposal had been overlooked, so I started a separate thread to ensure that the idea was discussed. That seems very similar to many of your own posts. In the morning light, holding a coffee, its obviously broken and it is clear that I misunderstood what was being proposed. Bottom line is I initiate lots of ideas, not all of which become projects, but many become TODO items. Sometimes I see things others do not, sometimes I make mistakes; sometimes it takes a while for my ideas to be understood and accepted. I don't hold mistakes against anyone, and we all make them. -- Simon Riggs EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
