I've been wondering about that. A while ago the change was made from outputting a NOTICE with the EXPLAIN output to returning a resultset. If you could agree on what columns to return it might not be so hard for the EXPLAIN to return full tuples... Backward compatability is a problem though... -- Martijn van Oosterhout <kleptog@svana.org> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > Patent. n. Genius is 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration.
