We *really* need that catalog lookup first. Otherwise, we will never be able to override the hardcoded compatibility assumptions in that matching routine. Once we push that routine into a system catalog, we'll have more flexibility to tune things after the fact. Without the explicit function call, things would work just fine for the example at hand, right? I could put in a dummy passthrough routine. But that seems a bit ugly. - Thomas ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
