Yes, thanks. Peter's recent work is what I had in mind. I agree that we could improve the situation, and the change is not complicated once you know what needs to be done. It needs to be done as follows: - Create a new pageinspect--1.9--1.10.sql. - Provide a proper implementation for older extension version based on the output parameter types, with a lookup at the TupleDesc for the function to adapt. - Add tests to sql/oldextversions.sql to stress the old function based on smallint results. - Bump pageinspect.control. Quan, would you like to produce a patch? That's a good exercise to understand how the maintenance of extensions is done. -- Michael
