Oh, we did? Yes, I remember that. Well, seeing as we now need clusterdb command, it would be better to get the backend to do it rather than have a separate command floating around. A separate script is certainly more bloat than whatever code we would add in cluster.c. I think this may have been before we got on the idea of marking pg_attribute with cluster info so we could more easily do cluster of all tables. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
