I believe that we should keep them as float8, on the basis that a user is more likely to generalise from total_time's format (when writing a script to query the view of whatever) than from that of pg_stat_database. A part of me would like to change the view definitions so that all the columns are strongly typed (i.e. all these values would be intervals). I realise that that isn't practical though. -- Peter Geoghegan http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training and Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
