I'm not sure which part of "no" you didn't understand, but we're not breaking on-disk compatibility of existing macaddr columns. Breaking the on-the-wire binary I/O representation seems like a nonstarter as well. If you can think of a way to have one type do it all without breaking that, then fine; but that seems like a pretty hard problem. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
