I think the attraction of PGAN is that people have some hope of guessing what it means (CPAN/PGAN), and because C and G look similar, there is even more an association, e.g. swap C and P, change C to G, and viola. The attraction of PGXN is that it looks like PGXS. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + None of us is going to be here forever. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
