I don't see how you're going to do that without utterly compromising the type system. It's not so horrid to do this type of thing in plperl, pltcl etc because you've already bought into an "everything is text" worldview when you use those languages. But plpgsql is strongly typed just like SQL is, and I don't think we should undo that. (This will also be my main objection to letting hstore into core. It has not solved the problem of handling real datatypes.) regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
