I remember someone proposed a patch for that a long time ago: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2006-10/msg00154.php AFAICS there were 2 possible follow-ups to this patch: - only manage the case of char/varchar (which is the most common case anyway); - develop a complete infrastructure to handle all the cases as suggested by Gregory. -- Guillaume -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
