The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4586 Logged by: Miroslav Nachev Email address: m...@space-comm.com PostgreSQL version: 8.3 Operating system: Windows Description: Supporting of Binary instead Bytea for Primary Keys Details:
Most of the popular databases (Oracle, MySQL, MS SQL, etc.) support binary column type which can be used as primary key. For example UUID algorithm need of exact 16 bytes and is very useful for Primary Key. Of course it can be presented with characters in Hex format but in that case this will take 32 bytes which is 2 times bigger. It will be very helpful if in PostgreSQL binary/varbinary type is supported and can be used for indexes and primary keys. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
