That is a question. But actually I think sigio might be fairly portable -- at least the first hit I found was for someone complaining that it wasn't working on Linux (due to a bug) and this broke their app which worked everywhere else. In any case this would be a feature which if it didn't work would leave us just where we are today. That's another advantage over trying to do something with sigurg which would be far more likely to cause headaches if it behave incorrectly. -- greg http://mit.edu/~gsstark/resume.pdf -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
