Is that a good idea? It's easy to imagine cases where a library is not designed to be unloaded (eg, it hooks into things in the main backend and doesn't have a way to unhook). I'd rather stick with the current behavior of unload/reload only when specifically commanded to. The patch as given fails in the same inode/different path case, btw. I think you wanted to make the test further down. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
