Patch attached. I'm still scared to death of the security implications, but if we don't do it now, when will be a better time? Might as well try it and see what breaks. Note there had better be a large compatibility warning in the alpha release notes, and we had better pester driver authors to test with 9.1alpha1 as soon as it's out. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Patch attached. Any reason not to add a line to the 9.0 docs/release notes saying "WARNING: The PGDG currently plan to change this setting's default in 9.1"? -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Yeah. Our track record for predicting in the version-N docs what changes will be made in version N+1 is spectacularly bad; we should not try that here, even if the change is being made before 9.0 actually goes final. There is already a statement that the default will change "in a future release", and that seems sufficient to me. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Well, mostly that we could change our mind if it makes too big a boom. And it's not as if we could go back and update everyone's docs after-the-fact. I agree we need some press, but the docs are not the right vehicle. ....Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers |
