No, and in fact that's exactly why the proposed implementation isn't ever going to be in core: it's not possible to do it portably. (And no, I'm not interested in hearing about how you can do it on platforms X, Y, and/or Z.) I agree with the comments to the effect that this is really a packaging and documentation problem. There is no need for us to re-invent the existing solutions, but there is a need for making sure that they are readily available and people know when to use them. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
