<div dir="ltr">I would like to see the following added to the introduction to the pgsql-general list.<br /><br />"When
submittingto this list, please include the full version of PostgreSQL and the O/S you are using.<br />Also, if you are
reportainga problem, it is essential that a minimal amount of schema & data be<br />provided in order to duplicate
problembeing reported, as well as exact error verbage encountered and<br />any relevant extracts from the postgresql
logfile(s)."<br /><br />At the very least, a link to <br /><br /><a
href="https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Guide_to_reporting_problems">https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Guide_to_reporting_problems</a><br
/><a
href="https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/SlowQueryQuestions">https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/SlowQueryQuestions</a><br
/><br/>would be helpful<br /><br />While some may think there are cases where this is irrelavant, there are now in
existenceseveeral<br />versions of PostgreSQL across multiple operating systems. It it not inconcievable that a bug (or
problem)<br/>being reported in a previous version & O/S has already been corrected in a newer one. Likewise,
something<br/>that may occur in one version & O/S may not occur in another.<br /><br />If it is just a general
query,keep in mind that new features are constantly being added with each new<br />release, so something previously
impossible(or done another way) in a previous version, may now be<br />simplified with the implementation of a new
function/feature.<br/><br />I encourage additional suggestions as to what should be included when submitting queries to
thislist.<br clear="all" /><br />-- <br /><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><font size="4"><b><span
