Uh, well, at least his statements are not verified at this point. Certainly your statement from the Gentoo forum posting "The 8.2 pg_dump won't do anything about those implicit casts, but the 8.3 version will take care of a lot of potential problems with them." would be sheer magic and certainly don't correspond to anything implemented in pg_dump. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/
