That's true, but my proposal to do things that way reflects the fact that text is a type oddly tied to the platform. I don't think it will come up again (note that in the 4 byte Datum case, we still use sort support to some degree on other platforms with patch 2 applied). It seemed logical to impose the obligation to deal with that on varlena.c. -- 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
