You are missing the point. I have no problem changing this for the next major version, but it's a change in functionality and requires additional translation work, neither of which are things we do for minor releases except where necessary to fix serious bugs - which this is not. > Thanx for the patch.

I'm not expecting anyone to apply the patch themselves except other developers, but am presenting it as an option for consideration. That's how open source work is done - patches are written, and the pros/cons and alternate approaches discussed before a solution is settled upon. > - as you noted, the behavior is not quite correct.

I think it would be a lot of work to add the check in that way (though it is undoubtedly the best way to do it). If you have a simple way to make it work, I'd love to see a proposed patch because at the moment, I don't see a way to do it that wouldn't take at least a few days of work. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgadmin-support mailing list (pgadmin-support@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-support
