Saying that, I think money type is something people use
Any basis for those thoughts? I've only ever seen its usage
discouraged and even a short discussion [1] on how we might remove it
one day.
Perhaps we should make pg_upgrade start kicking out warnings in v20
and then remove it in v25... Or reconsider that if we receive too many
complaints.
Yeah, I think we should deprecate the money type. It is weird and
confusing to any user and the name makes some people think that it is
useful for storing money when it is generally not. I would rather that
we work on deprecating it over improving it. Maybe it can be turned into
an extension for the people who want it, but the issue is pg_upgrade and
type type oid.
