I think composite types are in the standard, yes, but they are a bit different from what we have. I tried to read that part of the standard a while back and came up blank, it's too filled with strange constructs. Too closely linked to tables for one thing; there seems to be no notion of anonymous or standalone types. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
