I want to clarify this. The point of the core is they won't do it because they have things more important to do, or, the feature will never be part of the postgresql even if someone else contribute it.
Maybe i am not capable of contribute it but i will try if the feature will be become part of postgresql.
thanx in advance, Jaime Casanova
The feature would be pretty easy to add in 8.1 (perhaps even within my skills!), but the issue is that because it's a non-standard thing, I'd like to know just how many other db's do it. If it's only MySQL, then it's really touch and go as to whether I'd bother.
However...that said, I have a new philosophy of ease-of-use and this is the 10^nth time someone has requested this feature, so I'd be inclinedto give the people what they want!
Not always what people want is a good thing. People don't want pay taxes for example... However I'm with Tom Lane, this feature have a big impact on the code and give a not so big improvement.
