Hmm. I'm not sure whether 384 is "absurdly large", but I do wonder why the levenshtein code gets to dictate limits on NAMEDATALEN at all. Or to put it even more bluntly, I'm not sure that there is anything whatever about MAX_LEVENSHTEIN_STRLEN that is well thought out. Why not rip it out and put some CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS tests into the loops instead? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
