Folks, During past days I have been coding the UUID datatype which has been fun and great learning curve for me. Here is the current progress:
- basic i/o functions are done. - various records for pg_class,pg_operator,pg_amop etc, are added - the additions pass the regression check :) - btree and hash indexes go as expected (as far as I could test) - currently 3 inputs and 1 general output are supported (as suggested by Tom) remaining uuid todo list: - binary receive and send functions are yet in development. - Additional testing, testing and again testing. - cast and convert functions have to be done - develop some kind of a new_guid() function (if required) - develop a SERIAL like type (has to be discussed yet) If everything goes okay, I should be able to submit a beta patch for reviewing during next two weeks (and get shot at :)) Regards, Gevik ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
