If the order is arbitrary, why does it matter if it changes? The user has the power to specify a sequence, yet they have not done so. They are told the results are indeterminate, which is accurate. I can add the words "and may change as new standbys connect" if that helps. -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/books/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training and Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
