Re: Control File

Tom,

With the new tablespace scenario in mind, how do you see this check feature
being implemented: as a script or inside the code?

As I said before, I apply for the creation of this patch. We just need to
decide the best way to implement it.

I believe we already do put a PG_VERSION file in each tablespace, but
AFAIR there is no subsequent check on their contents.
