Here is a problem: If I write an "hstore-ng" extension, I have two options: 1. "Steal" the OID/UUID assigned to hstore so my extension integrates nicely with all the drivers. 2. Don't steal the OID/UUID assigned to hstore and have a very low chance that my extension will ever be supported nicely by a lot of drivers. Neither option is very nice. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
