I think it depends of what you mean by "depend". The earthdistance extension "requires" 'cube', for example, "a data type cube for representing multidimensional cubes". Although I am aware of the lengths that drivers like psycopg2 go to to support hstore because it's an extension, which is undesirable. -- Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
