we assume that you're all aware that postgres 2.0 is now available, and apologize for the wasted net bandwidth involved in sending out three copies of the message. a news software hiccup here meant that we didn't see them locally until several days after the first was posted. mike olson postgres research group uc berkeley mao@postgres.berkley.edu
