I am not convinced about the usefulness of the subtypes patch. The examples you cite -- FTP, bittorrent, distcc -- are cases where a client could pick the most appropriate server from a set of equivalent instances. I don't see how this can be useful in a PostgreSQL setting, at least not based on the parameters server version and protocol version that you implemented. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
