FWIW, I agree with Peter that we should remove this code. We know that it is buggy. Leaving it there constitutes an "attractive nuisance" --- that is, I'm afraid that someone will submit a patch that depends on that function, and that we might forget that the function is broken and commit said patch. Tomas' objection would be reasonable if a fix was simple, but so far as I can tell from the thread, it's not. In particular, Peter doesn't trust the upstream patch in question. But whether or not you trust it, doing nothing is not a sane choice. The reasonable alternatives are to remove the merge function or sync the upstream patch. 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
