I think what Michael is saying is he doesn't have time to review the patch now and doesn't want to hold up 9.0 until he does. We can delay 9.0 for him, or apply the patch unreviewed, or allow 9.0 to go out with this as a known bug. I don't much care for #2, given the size of the patch. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Since we're still in the beta phase, it makes sense to apply the fix right now so that it appears in 9.0.

Sorry I thought Zoltan's explanation was clear enough. All prior ECPG versions were fine because dynamic cursor names were only added in 9.0. Apparently only this one place was missed. So this is a bug in the new feature, however not such a major one that it warrants the complete removal IMO. I'd prefer to fix this in 9.0.1. Hope this cleans it up a bit.
