Well, it seems pretty clear were we need to go on this. First, we could just add the documentation to the non-include part of the patch based on the version I posted and apply that to be sure it gets into 7.5. Then, for "include", it needs to be an operation and not a variable, probably something in guc-file.l. It should not use an equals and not be something you can say SHOW with. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
