I admit that I am probably practicing this bad programming at few places in my source, and shame on me for it. I have hoped to tighten it up a bit later, but it is convenient for the time being. > At compile time, you should be checking the specific feature you care > about, Well, for one of my uses, it is not a feature check. My PL loads a Python extension module whose path is dependent on the major and minor version of the PostgreSQL installation that the PL was compiled against. So I construct the module path string based on the major and minor at compile time. If this is the stance that the group has, that is fine. For now, I will continue my shameful practice of parsing up pg_config --version and defining the components for use in my source. (; -- Regards, James William Pye
