No, because if 8.2 ships with a libpq.so.4 that doesn't expose pqGetpwuid, it will look like pre-8.2 versions of libecpg will work with that libpq. Which they won't. You can't remove exported functions (whether the export was intentional or no) without a major version bump. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
