Hi.

A few weeks (months?) ago I made a patch to the postgres
backend to get back the number of realized moves after
a MOVE command. So if I issue a "MOVE 100 IN cusrorname",
but there was only 66 rows left, I get back not only "MOVE",
but "MOVE 66". If the 100 steps could be realized, then
"MOVE 100" would come back. 

I send this info to you, because I would like to ask you if
it could be OK to include in future versions. I think you
are in a beta testing phase now, so it is trivially not the
time to include it now...

The solution is 2 code lines into command.c, and then the
message of move cames with the number into for example psql.
1 other word into the jdbc driver, and this number is
available at update_count.

I made the patch to the latest (one day old) CVS version.

Here are the patches. Please look at them, and if you think 
it's a good idea, then please let me know where and how should
I post them, and approximately when will you finish with the
beta testing, so it can be really considered seriously.

I included them also as an attachment, because my silly pine
insists to break the lines...

Here is the patch for the jdbc driver. >! I couldn't test it
with the current version, because it needs ant, and I didn't
have time and money today to download it... !< However, it
is a trivial change, and if Peter T. Mount reads it, I ask
him to check if he likes it... Thanks for any kind of answer.

(This last looks a bit complex, but the change is really a new

Thank you for having read this, 

Baldvin

p.s.: I read a page on your homepage, called "unapplied patches".
I would like to know if it means "still unapplied patches", or
it means "bad, and not accepted ideas".
