[ shrug ] There is a *boatload* of new stuff in SQL2003, most of which we probably won't ever implement. The foundation alone has enough new cruft to keep us busy for years ... never mind stuff that shows up only in Part 14. Basically, SQL2003 is way too big for the argument "it's in the spec" to be an automatic trump card for putting features into core PG. We have to think about distribution size and maintainability versus the usefulness of specific features. If there were a serious amount of demand for the SQL2003 XML features then I wouldn't be averse to putting them in, but right now it looks like bloat with little redeeming social value. Who other than the submitter has asked for this? I don't even see "XML" listed in TODO. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
