If there is a standard, why not use it? Especially one that is so comprehensive and consistent as the SQL standard (for most parts) :)


Raise it as an issue. If others want it I do not have an issue with someone submitting a patch for it.

I will say thought that "CLOB" makes far less sense as a name then "BLOB" or "TEXT". The vendors of the day tied themselves to names they already had embedded in their products. I do not feel that beholden to them.

If we could get field working without the row[] bits, I would be very tempted to just have a "STRING" type with collation and chuck everything else.

I am starting to wonder about INT and if it should not be INTEGER(size) and just drop all the types for it as well.

Cheers,
