Dear Tom,
I'm sorry to bother you. i really care about
this behavior, but i couldn't find the discussions you mentioned in
pgsql-hackers archives.
Would you please tell me more about the
discussions(about date? the related issue?), so that i can search it and
find it more easily?
Thank you very much !
Regards
-Dongni
