This patch is in an awkward position. It was submitted back in February and then ignored for months. It got added by Robert into this commitfest, but the submitter hasn't gotten involved at all. Then Heikki posted a review a month ao and pointed out a number of issues which are still waiting to be fixed. If this patch is something we want, then perhaps somebody else should grab it, fix the issues, and resubmit to the next commitfest. If we don't want it (and some have suggested) then we just quietly let the thread die here. I am marking it Returned with Feedback for now. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
