With respect, I think you did a poor job the second time too. I can't find a clearly explained reasoning behind the proposal, nor do I understand what the problem was. One of the things I do is work hard on my initial explanations and reasoning. This helps me because I frequently end up not proposing something because my reasoning was poor, but it also helps me focus on whether I am solving a real problem by sharepening my understanding of the actual problem. And it also helps Tom (or others) demolish things more quickly with a well placed "indeed" ;-) -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
