Attached is the latest version of the Range Types patch. I will get it into better shape before the commitfest, but wanted to put up a draft in case anyone had comments on the TODO items.
Changes: * Uses BTree opclass rather than compare function. * Collation specified at type definition time. * Various fixes. TODO: * Should the catalog hold the opclass or the opfamily? This doesn't affect much, but I wasn't sure which to actually store in the catalog. * Use Robert Haas' suggestion for auto-generating constructors with the same name as the range type, e.g. "int8range(1,10,'[]')", where the third argument defaults to '[)'. This allows better type inference for constructors, especially when there are multiple range types over the same base type (and collation is a common case of this). I believe this was the best idea after significant discussion: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2011-06/msg02046.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2011-07/msg00210.php * Send/recv functions * cleanup * documentation updates Regards, Jeff Davis
