I don't really know much about ORDBMS / OODBMS functionality; a quick Google search suggests that SQL/OLB is mostly about Java language bindings, and there's a separate project (pgsql-jdbc) which works on PostgreSQL connectivity for Java. As far as changes to the core database are concerned, user-defined functions and operators are not hard to create, but I'm fuzzy on what specifically you want to do. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
