I'll mention that psycopg2, the most widely Python DBI implementation for PostgreSQL, has a built-in mapping of hstore to dict, so signs are definitely pointing towards a hstore == dict standardization. It also suffers from the problem that it needs to sniff the hstore OID, which is somewhat annoying, especially in a web environment where the sniff has to happen repeatedly. -- -- Christophe Pettus x...@thebuild.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
