Those techniques have been in use for at least 20 years on various platforms. The main issues PostgreSQL faces is supporting many platforms and compilers, while at the same time supporting extensible data types. I believe there is some research work into run-time compilation in progress, but that seems unlikely to make it into Postgres core. -- 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
