We also renamed current_query -> query, but that was mainly because it actually changed meaning. But. Since we already whacked around procpid->pid, yes, if we're ever going to change those, now is the time, really. I think at least backend_start -> session_start would make sense. Not sure about the other one - what's wrong with query_start? -- 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
