I guess the question is whether you want to solve your problem or improve PostgreSQL. If you want to solve your immediate problem, the advice given thus far is probably enough for you to do it. If the goal is to improve PostgreSQL, that's a worthy goal and I don't think anyone here would say otherwise. The current behavior is not ideal, but improving it is not easy. When people say "it's not a bug", they don't mean "this is the best possible behavior anyone can imagine"; they mean "we know that it works this way and we haven't actually figured out a way to do any better yet without causing other problems". -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
