This sounds very good to me. I get the feeling sometimes that software projects just increase the major version number to 'sound interesting'. I don't think that PostgreSQL needs that anymore. A modest numbering policy might even give it a 'stable' feeling... Sander. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
