I can assure you that individual developers were contacted about completing their items for 8.2, to the extent that some developers got upset at me because of my insistence. If they were hired by PostgreSQL companies and I had a relationship with their manager, their managers were informed as well. Jonah, who said the community wasn't clear it wanted his items completed, was part of that group. I see no need to mention the other people I contacted. Many of them completed their items, and Jonah finished some of his items. The fact is, the existing system worked as it should, though it is often invisible. We didn't get all the features we wanted, but that isn't because the system isn't working. -- Bruce Momjian [EMAIL PROTECTED] EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
