I realized that any other solution here is going to be more complex and thus less appropriate for backpatch. I still don't like this very much because it doesn't seem to offer enough flexibility to user-specified reloptions; but any patch we come up with here is going to be applicable to CVS HEAD. So I'm going to apply your patch to both 8.4 and HEAD; we can always improve it later, I guess. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
