I don't know what we'd have to do to manage that, but possibly some API extensions to the array code would make it feasible without violating abstractions. The present patch, however, doesn't appear to have any reason to live other than an undocumented amount of performance improvement. My feeling about that is if you're concerned about micro-performance, why are you coding in python to begin with? It isn't the best choice out there. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
