It's introducing a new dependency to do something fundamental to Postgres, one that's larger than all of Postgres. It would make Postgres inconsistent and less integrated with the rest of the OS. How do you explain that Postgres doesn't follow the system's configurations and the collations don't agree with the system collations? -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
