2) contrib vs. pgFoundry

There is unresolved answer if we want to have this in contrib or not. Good to mention that citext type will be obsoleted with full collation implementation in a future. I personally prefer to keep it on pgFoundry because it is temporally workaround (by my opinion), but I can live with contrib module as well.



Is there a concrete plan to get to full collation support (i.e. per column) in any known time frame? If not, then I think a citext module would be acceptable.

What does still bother me is its performance. I'd like to know if any measurement has been done of using citext vs. a functional index on lower(foo).

cheers
