I know Peter didn't like this idea in the past, but we are getting too many people who forget createlang, and with our new HINT tags, it seems appropriate. I still agree with Peter's opinion ... this hint is fairly silly, especially since it would pop out for simple misspellings of language names. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What can we do to help people remember they have forgotten to load the language? The post that question here too often. I don't see any problem with a hint that starts with Perhaps. -- Bruce Momjian| http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup.| Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send unregister YourEmailAddressHere to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
