As a GSoC piece of work, doing it as a contrib module gives an immediately useful deliverable. Good plan. Once that is available, we can then get some feedback on it and include it as an in-core datatype later in the 9.1 cycle. So lets do both: contrib and in-core. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training and Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
