Re: Possible bug on insert

Is there any possiblity of adding an option for compatibilityes sake (or
does one already exist) to revert to the old behavior. This has currently
kept me from upgrading beyond 7.2.4 thus far in production as it will break
all of my apps. I can slowly update them but many of them don't get changed
very often and I will have to undergo a testing cycle for each of them just
to maintain compatibility with postgres > 7.2.4. This is not something I
really want to do. I would much prefer to just upgrade and have my legasy
apps work without modification or testing.

Thanks,

Rick Gigger
