I think this patch should be rejected. It adds no new functionality; you can get the string in question with "select version()". Moreover, you've been able to do that for lo these many years. Any application that tried to depend on this new way of getting the string would fail when working with an older server or older psql. That does not seem like a good property for a version check. Also, because the string isn't especially machine-friendly, it's not very clear to me what the use-case is for an application to use it at all, rather than the other version formats we already provide. 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
