I think the analogy to .conf is bogus. The existing files named .conf are server config not client config, and they don't have leading dots in their names on Unix either. Also, the whole point of this exercise is to make these files easy to edit for newbies. The fact that an association *could* be configured for .conf seems to me to miss the point: anyone who knows enough to do that wouldn't have a problem with any spelling whatever... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
