Well we don't actually know that it does still work, as we haven't tested it. I regularly find myself refactoring code for old versions of Postgres because I need to add support for a new version, and if it's something old like 7.3, it doesn't get tested. Plus it make the code less readable, and harder to maintain. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgadmin-hackers mailing list (pgadmin-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-hackers
