I don't think you could call that CREATE OR REPLACE, because (if it's supposed to be efficient) it *wouldn't* replace. In any case I think apps would prefer to avoid the overhead of even issuing such a command. If you approach it that way, you're adding some number of additional SQL commands to each pooled transaction, which seems to defeat the purpose of pre-preparing commands. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
