What I'd like to be able to do is to stop scanning the relation once one defective tuple has been found: if there is at least one problem, the whole vm needs to be rebuilt anyway. So this function could be wrapped in a plpgsql function for example. It is more flexible than directly modifying this function so as it stops at the first problem stopped. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
