I agree that extensions are undermarketed. Although pgxn is a good step, I could not find it from "postgresql.org":-(
I propose to not integrate the unsigned types into existing promotion hierarchy, and behave just like gcc would with -Werror: require explicit cast. Between them, the unsigned types would be automatically converted up (uint2 > uint4 > uint8).
If you do it, having uint1 (1 byte) would be nice as well. -- Fabien. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
