About patch 1, which I just pushed, there were two reviews: Andres Freund wrote: > On 2014-09-25 18:59:31 -0300, Alvaro Herrera wrote: > > diff --git a/src/include/utils/ruleutils.h b/src/include/utils/ruleutils.h > > new file mode 100644 > > index 0000000..520b066 > > --- /dev/null > > +++ b/src/include/utils/ruleutils.h

Yes, I did consider moving the quoting function definitions and the global out of builtins.h. It is much more disruptive, however, because it affects a lot of external code not only our own; and given the looks I got after people had to mess with adding the htup_details.h header to external projects due to the refactoring I did to htup.h in an earlier release, I'm not sure about it. However, if I were to do it, I would instead create a quote.h file and would also add the quote_literal_cstr() prototype to it, perhaps even move the implementations from their current ruleutils.c location to quote.c. (Why is half the stuff in ruleutils.c rather than quote.c is beyond me.) -- Álvaro Herrera 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
