That's completely unfair, Bruce. This is a *discussion list*, and hackers are free to propose and discuss even far-out improbable ideas in the hopes that someone else on the list can make them work. -hackers is not a clearinghouse for already-perfected work; that's -patches. For my part, I continue to the interested in this proposal and would like to see some performance benchmarks on it. If there is enough performance gain, I think it would be possible to implement a "logical" order which was different from the "physical" order. Such a feature would also allow us to give the MySQLites the ability to re-order columns they keep asking for. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
