However, AIUI it's the same underlying technology, so in principle it could be fixed the same way. If we take seriously the proposition that we're still supporting 8.2 on Windows, we probably ought to do something about that. If we don't, we need to officially deprecate that version. 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
