That's what I want, too. The people saying we should implement COR for columns seem to be, by and large, people who have never wished for this feature and have no particular use case for either one. I have stated my use case in the past, but it has been dismissed as stupid or contrived. I can live with the possibility that I'm dumb, but, for the record, I'm not making this up. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
