I doubt we are going to change Postgres to improve Drupal support --- it would be better to fix Drupal. However, I have a few suggestions: For this item, http://drupal.org/node/555580, use || for concatentation. I can't believe MySQL doesn't support multi-column indexes, http://drupal.org/node/555558. For this item, I think you want DELETE FROM history USING ..., http://drupal.org/node/555562. The SQL standard doesn't support multiple deletes, so odds are we will not either, http://drupal.org/node/555648. I show multi-value INSERT was added in PG 8.2, not 8.4, * Add support for multiple-row VALUES clauses, per SQL standard (Joe, Tom), http://drupal.org/node/555568. I am confused because I thought Drupal worked with Postgres, but looking at your list, it seems it doesn't. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
