Good point. And GSoC may be one of the few times we can get people to do that kind of work. Other than Simon, of course. ;-) I just worry about any feature which doesn't get as far as a user-visible implementation. If someone doesn't do the rest of the parts soon, such features tend to atrophy because nobody is using them. -- -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://www.pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
