Is there an open standard that already defines this? If there is an existing standard we should follow it, so we can quote "we now follow standard X". If there isn't one, can we create one? Can we propose an RFC that works for many data stores? If somebody can define that, I can push that through the relevant processes. Not because I wish PostgreSQL syntax to be badged as a standard, but because the world clearly needs a useful, open standard here. -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
