Hi all,
I just got back from vacation.
I'll go take a look at the Postgres HOWTO, and make some changes in
there so it is clear that the recommendations are for using Postgres
with the default Turbine User implementation, and that if you want you
can create your own turbine user implementation, with a visitor table
that doesn't have a blob column.
BTW: The pgsql folks said that the next version (7.1 I think) will have
support for determining whether a column is a blob (using something
called toast)...that will make the hack unnecessary.
Cheers,
-Nissim
