Well, where a tool chooses to install stuff is the business of that tool; there isn't any particular reason to think that default would suddenly become a preferred choice, I think. I dislike the name pg_system because it implies that that DB is somehow special from the point of view of the system ... which is exactly what it would *not* be. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
