We are hoping that Apple fixes it in 10.6.2, because trying to kluge around it seems like a mess. Your example is actually in a different place from the known case in DROP TABLESPACE, which just reinforces that trying to avoid the bug at the application level would be difficult. I'm running 10.6 myself on my laptop, but I think it ought to be regarded as not quite stable enough for production servers yet :-( regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
