I should have been clearer. I think having in the main server or /contrib makes sense. Having data types external to our source tree doesn't seem to work too well because of changes in our API from time to time. I think the UUID type has enough usage to warrant us maintaining it. > One question that comes to mind is how the submitted patch compares in > functionality to the other implementations of the UUID concept for > PostgreSQL, such as OSSP uuid (which implements a Postgres UDT in its > CVS version), or the UUID project on gborg. No idea. They all have to be researched, and if we find they all have different strenghts, I am afraid we will have to keep them all external. -- Bruce Momjian [EMAIL PROTECTED] EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
