I am glad we are moving this interface discussion forward. It seems Heikki has similar concerns about the interface being error-prone. It would be nice to have a novice and advanced interface, but we would have to document both, and then that is going to be confusing for users. As I see it, specifying the configuration name in every function call is the novice interface, and avoids the most common errors. I can see defaulting the interface name as being an advanced interface, but I don't think it has enough of a feature to be worth documenting and implementing. If we figure out something better in 8.4 we can implement it, but at this point I can't think of any good solution to not specifying the configuration name every time. -- Bruce Momjian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
