That can be said for a lot of things in contrib. pg_standby in 8.4 for example. Or adminpack. Or dblink. Or hstore. There's a mix of "example stuff" and "actually pretty darn useful in production stuff". I'm sure you can find a couple of hundred emails in the archives on this very topic. From 9.1, it'll be a simple CREATE EXTENSION command - so much of the problem goes away. Well. It doesn't go away, but it gets a lot more neatly swept under the rug. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
