It seems I'm not looking forward to announce widely them since we will go into a direction supporting the national character and when they would be available, application interfaces might be changed dramatically.

Attached is are diffs for CREATE/ALTER table doc I've
forgotten in my mailbox (sorry). Haven't tried to apply and
since I don't have working sgml stuff cannot check.

If at all, only in the release notes because it has to be
removed again as soon as we implement TOAST.

I think the change was actually to not require the option switch as such anymore (because there's nothing else you could do anyway), so the documentation could be considered up to date. :) Maybe I can put in a note though. -- Peter Eisentraut Sernanders väg 10:115 peter_e@gmx.net 75262 Uppsala http://yi.org/peter-e/ Sweden

OK, I hadn't actually stopped to look at what the options were ;-),
I was just skimming through Bruce's list of potential trouble spots
as fast as I could.
If you think there's no need to add more documentation, I'm cool with
that. The point of this exercise was just to make sure nothing had
slipped through the cracks. Making a conscious decision not to document
something is not dropping the ball.

That's all I needed to hear.
