I haven't spent very much time on it yet. I tend to prefer the idea
of integrating it more deeply into core and adding SQL syntax around
it, but I'm not going to fight tooth and nail for that if a contrary
consensus emerges.
1) "more deeply into core"
I'm open to doing that for some parts of the code, if there is benefit.
At present, an extension has exactly the same attributes as an in-core
solution, so I don't currently see any benefit in doing so. Could you
explain what you see?
From my perspective, grammar.
2) "SQL syntax"
I'm not sure what SQL syntax would give us. I know what we would lose,
which is the ability to implement new and interesting features as
extensions before putting them into core. That doesn't strike me as a
benefit, so please explain.
If by SQL syntax we mean things like "ALTER TABLE ENABLE REPLICATION"
then it is an absolute user benefit.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
