The quality of the patches posted to this thread is very noticeably lower than what we typically expect or accept. They are missing files, or they don't work, or the changes are not properly explained, or they do things that are clearly unlike anything else we do anywhere in the source tree, or they change how things work for other platforms rather than just being AIX-specific, or they don't work unless you follow a bunch of undocumented steps, or whatever the case may be. --=20 Robert Haas EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
