I proposed this in the release announcement for version 1.10 of DBD::Pg. The problem, as I see it, is these functions are only in version 7.1 and higher of Pg. So we would be effectively cutting off everyone else. I plan to release a DBD::Pg 2, which will support only 7.1 and greater, and continue to maintain DBD::Pg 1, for all the systems it already supports. Regards, Jeffrey
