As was made clear at the beginning of the thread, that's what they *think* they want, without any experience with a system that actually behaves that way. And yes I do believe I know better, both from knowing how the system works and from actual experience with the ill-considered patch that's now in HEAD. I'm willing to provide a "U" modifier but I think it will be a serious error to make that the default behavior. 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
