After reflecting more about this, that's an awfully strong point. Maybe we should go back to the original patch from Sun --- that is, just have the configure option change pg_TZDIR() to return a hardwired absolute path. The symlink idea has clearly got more risks than we understood during the prior discussion. I think the main argument in favor was that it allowed switching between PG-local and system TZ databases without recompiling the server, but is anyone really interested in doing that? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
