I suspected it wasn't that easy. Anyhow, I strongly believe that when no reasonable defaults can be deduced, the software should give the user the ability to decide what he wants to do. Of course technical (implementation, maintenance, etc.) issues are highly relevant and if it can't reasonably be done, well, tough luck, but I think (and I don't have a clue about the internals of PostgreSQL, so take this with two grains of salt) a solution such as the one you mention should be given consideration. -- Vinko Vrsalovic <el[|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|]vinko.cl> ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
