Do you have any reason to suspect that others aren't being used? The default format for anything is likely to be the most commonly-used one, but I don't think that proves the others are unused. Even if it were true, it wouldn't be a good justification for inventing an entirely new machine-readable format, at least not IMHO. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
