As such, features which are only useful in a specialized environment receive far more scrutiny and pushback than feature proposals which are obviously generally applicable. As such, proposals are more likely to be successful if the proposer can show how they apply to a general use case, or adapt them so that they are useful to a large number of our users. This means that "this works in our environment which has conditions X, Y, and Z" is not an effective argument, unless you can follow it up with "... and here's the reason why [large class of users] also has conditions X, Y and Z." -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
