 remove psql support for ancient copy syntax The attached patch implements Tom's recent suggestion to abandon the undocumented psql support for ancient copy syntax. If there's no objection I will apply before long. cheers andrew ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match      |

Just to clarify: this means that \copy will not work when connected to servers older than 8.0, right? -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings |

Also it's only a problem if you try to use one of the affected options ("with oids", "using delimiters"). Does not seem like a showstopper objection to me. OTOH, it's also the case that all we're saving is a couple dozen lines of code ... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@postgresql.org so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly |
