OK. But the documentation implies there is a comma, so it should probably
get chenged then.
This is from the create domain documentation
I am trying to create a domain with more than one check constraint and
I am getting an error that I don't think is correct according to the
documentation. I am not sure if this is a limitation of a partially
implemented feature or a bug that has so far been overlooked.
For example:
area=# create d
I have a specific proposal for allowing for building cube values from
float8 values with building strings (which will typically lose information).
I want to add the following 4 overloaded functions:
cube(float8)
cube(1) returns '(1),(1)'::cube
cube(float8,float8)
cube(1,2) returns '(1),(2)'::

For 7.4 I would like to add a function for importing float8 values
into cube. But because the cube data type is variable length I am
not sure what a good approach would be.
Currently this can be poorly done using text as an intermediate type.
As far as I can tell functions can't take sets as argum

With triggers it is a bit hard to decide. Since people other than the

You have to be the table owner to alter a table. So it should be OK
to have the default
Constraints also run as the user modifying a table instead of the table
owner.
Again I don't see a good reason to want to execute constraints as the
user modifying a table. But I do think there can be reasons to want to
execute them as the table owner.
To summarize, my suggestion for change is:

I am almost done. While working on the regression test I found a significant
bug in the original earth distance package, so this really does need to
get updated. While I was doing that I switched it to use the haversine
