It's important to get the *right* interface into the first release that has it. The day before feature freeze is way too late for blue-sky design IMHO. I note that the nominal schedule http://www.postgresql.org/developer/roadmap says that all major proposals should have been made and reviewed at least a month ago. While we're still busy resolving details for a lot of things, I don't believe there is anything currently under serious consideration that hadn't at least been talked about before the beginning of March. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
