Certainly not "just minor adjustments", since we need to do dynamic loading and checking for the functions. That's the big one, which will certainly increase the required code a lot. The part about letting the client specify how is probably fairly easy, if we can figure out a good one. (I personally think we've clearly shown that using the connectionstring is not a good enough way to do it) //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
