OK. In that case, it seems like we should offer options #2 and #3 with a GUC or #option to switch between them. Nobody has made an argument in favor of keeping #1 around. I'm still strongly of the opinion that #3 (error) should be the default behavior to avoid silent failures. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
