Yup, I'll certainly agree with David's suggestion of the new range type for 9.2. You can define integer ranges using int4range. The range type shares some of the same DB technology as PostGIS, such as GiST indices, so it is sort-of a 1D version of PostGIS. A really good article describing the upcoming range type is at: http://www.depesz.com/2011/11/07/waiting-for-9-2-range-data-types/ -Mike _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
