Jeff, I certainly don't want to maintain two packages, one for 4.6.3 and one for 5.x, but except for the noquote thing, all the packages I have written should work unchanged on both. I did see an pg_atoi error, which is probably a query that needs updating, but that is it. With every adp page changed due to property tag quoting, I would be forced to maintain two separate packages as long as I use 4.6.3. But maybe the suggestion is to completely abandon 4.6.3, mostly bug fixes and slight enhacements, and force users to upgrade to 5.0. But for custom vendor code, the hope would be you could copy the package over to 5.0 and have it work. I guess that is hoping to much.
