That's the whole problem. I don't think anyone objects to the user lock principle, but as long as it's GPL, we won't support it. It was probably a mistake to accept this module in the first place. I believe some people have been trying to get the module relicensed, but that evidently never happened. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
