<h1 id="BUGS_AND_LIMITATIONS">BUGS AND LIMITATIONS</h1><p><a href="#TOP" class="toplink">Top</a></p>
<div id="BUGS_AND_LIMITATIONS_CONTENT">
<p>The package is designed to work on single databases at a time, if you want to report on multiple databases in a cluster, you will need to install this in each individual database, and also set cron jobs independently for each database.</p>
<p>This package is only verified to work on Postgres 8.3, although it probably would work on earlier versions. </p>
