I'm curious why this was removed. We still get this question a bit on irc and
there aren't any more appropriate answers for any released version than what
the FAQ contained...

The FAQ will match the release it goes with or we could just delay its
removal until after 8.3 is in major circulation and say it only applies
to pre-8.3.

I think it should remain, with an addition that this problem should be
resolved as of PostgreSQL 8.3. Hard to say exactly when, but I would think
it would be at least untill 8.3 is released, and probably better would be 6
months or so later, when (hopefully) people stop asking about this. IMHO.

Sounds sensible. (I removed it while going through checking for broken links
etc., and the section numbering didn't match the contents; checking against
CVS it appeared the intention of Revision 1.393 was to remove this item, cf.
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/doc/src/FAQ/FAQ.html#rev1.393
).

Attached is an updated FAQ patch which re-includes this item and a note that
it's been resolved in 8.3.

Ian Barwick

OK, item re-added. Thanks.
