Cool! Looking at the patch, I noticed that it's possible to specify the default boundaries ([], [), (] or ()) per individual float type with the DEFAULT_FLAGS clause of CREATE TYPE .. AS RANGE. I wonder if that doesn't do more harm then good - it makes it impossible to deduce the meaning of e.g. numericrange(1.0, 2.0) without looking up the definition of numericrange. I suggest we pick one set of default boundaries, ideally '[)' since that is what all the built-in canonization functions produce, and stick with it. best regards, Florian Pflug -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
