What is the purpose of this database? A generalized, shared resource for tool makers and add-on packages to store information in PostgreSQL, or a working database that is usable (and to be used) out of the box for new users? I really don't think we want the latter... I can see users connecting via psql and then playing around with different add/create type statements. It is all too common a question from newbies... "does postgresql have a default database to get started with?" They'll see this database and begin creating schema and using this as thier main database, and I think we ought to avoid that. If people don't like pg_system, pg_addons seem like a much safer name to go with imho. -- Robert Treat Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
