I know I'm probably being a bomb tosser, but would it be practical to incorporate, like the serial type, and automatic GUID type?
While I love PostgreSQL, I am frequently forced to deal with Oracle and MSSQL. While there is a great deal of focus on making PostgreSQL a good competitor to Oracle, making it a good competitor for MSSQL is a good idea as well. (Yes, I know this is not a very difficult target.) The reference code is readily available and postgresql functions are trivial to write, if one were to submit code properly addorned with the various copyright notices, could it be included in the main catalog? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
