Since we are talking datatypes, I wonder if some other datatypes could be
considered.
UUID - a native supported UUID type without the need for domain declaration
including support for using it in identity type columns.
TCP4 or TCP6 (32bit unsigned and 64bit unsigned values).
Currently we make
We use Oracle and table spaces. We specify which drives/drive channels
hold which data/tables/indexes to optimize various OLAP/OLTP needs.
We also use firebird. We use multiple files as large multi-raid drive
arrays have problems in that the larger arrays may have multiple drives
fail faster
Changing a column definition for a column defined with a domain, should
result in an error.
ie
alter table alter type should not work for columns that use domains.
but the following should work (syntax to be agreed upon as I have seen it
used differently in different databases)

Nicolay,
I am wondering if you ever considered adding large sql identifiers and

I wonder - is there anyway via sql to get access to the comments other than
via the system tables?
Shouldn't there be something like a DESCRIBE statement as a corollary to
COMMENT ON?
A DESCRIBE DDL or DESCRIBE DEPENDENCIES giving a standard tool via sql for
database developers would be perfect
that is isql only - try it in any other tool.

Being able to spread a database across multiple files is a great
