What's happened in the past is new index methods weren't recoverable (after a database crash indexes had to be rebuilt) but when they were integrated into the Postgres source tree adding recoverability was a major piece of that integration. There's been some talk about allowing modules to register new recovery managers but in the past it gets stuck on where to store information about the recovery manager since the database tables aren't available. And on how to guarantee that the backup database and the original database have the same idea of which recovery manager is which. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
