We might get some complaints if we remove that facility.
Hmm, argh. Maybe we do need the rule on a fake pg_autovacuum that Itagaki-san was proposing. There's a problem however; for pg_autovacuum you used to need to insert some -1 values on columns on which you wanted to keep as defaults. On the new code you need to skip the value altogether, and a -1 is rejected with an error. Not sure how would we translate that. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
