I do watch this list for any discussion of changes to the protocol, but
from Tom's response I guess I should also be looking at protocol.sgml.
Could someone point me to the definitive version of this file so I can
monitor changes to it? Thanks.
BTW, I think the main reason I got bitten at 7.2 was because the
protocol changed, but the protocol version number did not.
While I'm on the keyboard, I'd like to say how much I appreciate the
work that Tom, Bruce et al put into making PostgreSQL the system it is.
Thanks for a really great job.
All the best,
Bruce Badger
