Thanks for this information. It was really helpful.
Another problem that is facing me is altering existing functions. For
example, what if I want to change the execution of the SUM function to
work as follows:
select sum(a)
from mytable w(5);
which means to sum only 5 records or records that arrived in the last
5 minutes. Do I need to change the core code of PostgreSQL to
implement such thing?
The first can be done with a limit clause, the second using a where
clause on a timestamp column - there is no good case that I can see for
either usage, not to mention the question of standards compatibility.
