The one problem I can see with this is that it's only partially on-disk-compatible with existing enum types: it'll almost certainly think that they require slow comparison, even when they don't. Maybe that's acceptable.
Thinking more about this, could we do some sort of hybrid scheme that stashes the 'oids are sorted correctly' property of the type somewhat like what I proposed?
Binary upgrade would be mildly tricky but not impossible. cheers andrew -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
