Tom expressed his doubts in http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2010-05/msg00699.php pretty clearly. He hasn't weighted in since then AFAIK, so I don't know if his objection still stands. But I still figured a word of warning would be indicated, to prevent the OP from relying on my proposed workaround as long as it might still fail to materialize. best regards, Florian Pflug -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
