That sounds like a good idea. :-) FWIW, I'm -1 on using JSON here. I don't believe that we should start using JSON all over the place just because we can. If we do that, we'll end up with a mishmash of styles, and maybe look silly when JSON is replaced by the new and much better SDGJHSDR format. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
