That's not clear to me at all. IIRC, the original idea was Tom's, and the idea is to make it possible to have, for example, a psql session connected to a standalone database, which can't be done right now. I don't use standalone mode much, but when I do, I'd sure like to have the psql interface rather than the existing standalone mode interface. I'm not aware that there's anything in this patch which targets any other use case; if there is, sure, rip it out. But let's not assume this is going in a bad direction, especially considering who it was that suggested the idea originally. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
