Yeah, we've discussed that before, and I wouldn't mind explicitly ripping out support for pre-7.3 or pre-7.4 servers; we could get rid of a pretty fair amount of cruft in pg_dump with such a policy change. But right now the standard is 7.0 and I don't want that goalpost moving silently. (And yeah, I did just test it back to 7.0. But that depends on my HPPA box which is looking increasingly frail. I'm not sure that we can get versions that old to compile on more modern platforms, at least not without a lot more work than it's probably worth.) regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
