I have a patch almost done that adds some obvious but currently missing functionality to hstore, specifically the ability to construct an hstore from a record, and the ability to construct one from a pair of arrays.
If there's any other features that people find notably missing from hstore, I could stick them in too; any requests? Also, hstore has an (undocumented) limit of 65535 bytes for keys and values, and it does not behave very cleanly when given longer values (it truncates them mod 2^16, rather than erroring). That gives rise to two obvious questions: (1) are those lengths reasonable? they strike me as being rather long for keys and rather short for values; and (2) should exceeding the lengths throw an error? -- Andrew (irc:RhodiumToad) -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
