As I said, it may not be applicable to this project, but thought I would offer. One gotcha the module makes transparent is that in older versions of PG, the variables are returned in a different way (via RAISE). My module will allow you to get the configuration for any connected database, for any configuration file, and the defaults for any known version, and do quick comparisons between them all. So you could use it to see what has changed between a particular server and its conf file, or the differences between two conf files, or the differences between two databases, or even show what has changed in the default conf file from 7.4.7 and 8.0.1. It will also allow you to rewrite the conf files in a standard way. I'm hoping to roll this into 1.44 or 1.45 or DBD::Pg. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200506212046 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFCuLWDvJuQZxSWSsgRAjUVAJ42oeveZBuutFo1G3Cs/3dRZWjKggCfS1Yf Tv5RWiG9s8Ucv/t/2HZ4/R8= =1eap -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
