MODERATOR WARNING
I noticed that this guy Rahul seems to be reinjecting old list emails
somehow. Please don't approve anything coming from him. Observe this
example:
http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Re-GENERAL-MS-Access-and-Stored-procedures-td1843848.htmlhttp://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Re-GENERAL-MS-Access-and-Stored-procedures-td5734652.html
The original message was posted in 2005!
The message here is this one (also in 2005):
http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/GENERAL-Exception-Handling-in-C-Language-Functions-td1843896.html
I have no idea what's going on. Maybe it's something to do with Nabble.
There are others pending moderation in pgsql-admin and pgsql-hackers too.
