Re: [PATCHES] remove unused caller arg from stringToQualifiedNameList
Alvaro Herrera [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: This function seems to have an argument that is no longer used (probably leftover from when it used to report an error message?). Yeah, I recall having left the argument in place because it seemed like we might want it again someday. But that was for 7.4 which was awhile ago. There's probably not a strong argument to keep it, but on the other hand is there a strong argument to remove it? regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

In any case, this is an exported symbol so maybe it's not a good idea to mess with it.
