AFAIR we don't have a current patch (ie something that applies cleanly to HEAD or near HEAD) and I have not seen any discussion about it since March or so. I don't wish to be overly negative, but we have a very long list of patches that *are* on the table for 8.2, and this suggestion strikes me as randomly adding a proposed feature ten days after feature freeze. You should have said the above several weeks ago if you wanted to be taken seriously. regards, tom lane

I was kinda prepared to have a shot at resurrecting the patch if there was some serious interest but nothing happened. It's way too late in the freeze now. There's still 8.3...

The email was in my mailbox and it never got addressed before feature freeze. -- Bruce Momjian bruce@momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +
