It'd be considerably more work than the currently proposed patch, though, since we'd have to meld the currently separate programs into one executable. One fairly serious objection is that doing so would eliminate the current distinction between client-side and server-side applications, at least if we wanted to fold both sets into one "pg" executable. So a client-only install would be carrying some baggage in the form of code that's useless if the server isn't local. If we are OK with restricting the scope of the "pg" program to client-side functionality, then there's no problem. 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
