(Slightly OT, but it is important to anyone looking at storing these objects in a relational database.)
> with postgres 7.1 the 8k limit is gone anyway. Yes and no. What 7.1 added - and why I don't support older versions - is TOAST support that tells the database server that it's okay to move the user-defined type out of the main record if necessary. By default new user-defined types remain in the main record and that's still limited to 8k. Since the well-defined types (both standard and user-defined) now support this, it's fair for the casual user to say that the 8k limit is gone. But anyone working in the backend needs to deal with this issue. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
