To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: schema level variables and deferrable unique constraints |
hi!
I apologize for mailing on the hackers list but I posted on the general list and did not get a good answer.
I have two independent issues, but am addressing them together.
1.
Oracle has package level variables which are not mappable to any postgres equivalent.
could we have something like schema scope variables which could be directly referred from let's say plpgsql functions?
Can someone give me some pointers on how to go about implementing this?
2.
Postgres does not support deferrable unique constraints.
we would however like to support this especially as some updates give non-standard behavior because of this.
where do I start reading up on what all needs to be done to support this?
I have no idea about the postgres codebase. I only understand the implementation of the plpgsql library.
Any pointers on where to start would be helpful
thanks
paraM
