Well, this was written with a view to it being usable for writing test cases that checked the various tuple states as we went. It was originally proposed when Tom asked "How will we test HOT?" (concurrent psql is the other half of the required base functionality to write sensible test cases). If we see it as a manual test tool only, contrib is OK. But it has to be in the backend to be usable in the regression test suite, so thats where it was designed to go. -- Simon Riggs EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
