Part of the issue is that we have a lot of new developers who are trying to solve hard problems without having learned their way around the code by fixing easy stuff. It was easier some years ago for people to learn that way, because there was way more low-hanging fruit back then. But there's still some out there. I have a distinct sense that we are getting patches from people who are trying to run before they've learned to walk. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
