Did you poll on -hackers or on -patches? A *lot* less people read -patches. This has been a problem in the past. I'd generally ask that, if a patch which was discussed on -hackers gets rejected on -patches, that discussion be brought back to -hackers. Often the people who supported the original feature are not on -patches and then are unpleasantly surprised when the feature they though was accepted doesn't show up in the next version. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
