While I quite agree with Greg's comments about not changing stable release branches unnecessarily, it seems that there's another consideration in this case. If we don't back-patch %r then users will have to rely on hacky scripts like the one posted upthread. Is that really a net gain in reliability? (I'm honestly not sure of the answer; I'm just thinking it might be open to debate. In particular I don't remember how complicated the patch to add %r was.) regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
