One of the problems with the Unix implementation is that you *can't* tell for sure if the target process is a postmaster. See past discussions about how startup occasionally fails because we get fooled by the PID mentioned in postmaster.pid now belonging to pg_ctl or some other Postgres-owned process. This is a place where the Windows version can actually be better than the Unix one. Please fix it and stop imagining that your charter is to duplicate a particular Unix syscall bug-for-bug. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
