I often get private requests from users for answers to questions. Instead of replying with the answer, I send this reply, which I keep in a file that can be easily included in an email message. The only replies I have gotten to it are thanks (no complaints). Feel free to use this idea for private email requests you receive. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Due to time constraints, I do not directly answer general PostgreSQL questions. For assistance, please join the appropriate mailing list and post your question: http://www.postgresql.org/community You can also try the #postgresql IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. See the PostgreSQL FAQ for more information. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
