Which, curiously enough, is exactly what it does ... I'm not particularly concerned with the user-friendliness of the error message, since this case would never arise for normal users (the PG_VERSION check would fire first in any cross-version compatibility situation). It only matters for hackers tracking CVS HEAD. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
