I think that the standard for adding a new system attribute ought to be enormous. The only case where a new one was added post-Postgres95 was "tableoid". I'm pretty sure that others aren't going to want to do it that way. Besides, I'm not entirely convinced that this is actually an important distinction to expose. -- Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
