This seems to me to be a fatal objection to the entire concept of storing encoding status in the database. If the low-level client communication code needs to access that information, then the postmaster is broken and is not repairable. > To prevent this, I would like to add a public function to postmaster.c > to know we are in the database starting up phase: How will that help? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
