Bertram, Just so you know, there is a site for external projects associated with PostgreSQL which are not part of the core code: www.pgfoundry.org
You are quite welcome to propose your connect-by code as a project on pgFoundry. This is how many new features start out before acceptance anyway. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
