There have been inquiries about some kind of XML support every few weeks for years now. Clearly, we need to sort out what that really means. I'm preparing a session about that for the Toronto summit. There is now a Summer of Code project for creating an XML data type, which should be integrated with this work and the xpath stuff in contrib. Plus, there were a few rejected projects about creating special index support for XML. Whether or not this part is really useful I can't judge, but it's part of an overall system. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
