This isn't necessarily bad, but I observe that it would be difficult or impossible to add fortnight support to intervals as an extension rather than by modifying the scanner tables that the interval parser uses at original compile time. You might be able to override symbols with a C extension, but parts of the parser are static (in the C sense), so you'd need to override and duplicate a lot of the existing functions. Of course, a hookable interval parser is absurd in the first place. -- nw -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
