I didn't realize the vote was even close for acceptance. I only remember Josh saying he would use it. Saying we should have it to remain "cutting-edge" doesn't strike me as a valid reason for inclusion, but more of a philosophical one, which worries me. I would like it added because people want its functionality, not because it is somehow cool. -- 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
