After some discussion on IRC, I realized I misunderstood the limitations of the patch. I'd say that this would be a significant improvement for a large number of real-world cases. The more in-depth solution ... that is, one which would accept column parameters ... would of course make this patch obsolete, but AFAIK nobody is working on that yet. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
