cracked the intra-function nut, we could look for a way to share memory between the aggregate- and other UDT-functions. Either way, I've got a boat load more reading and writing to do. Thank you ever so much for your time and attention. It is a great kindness, well appreciated. Regards, Marthin Laubscher

likely to play a role in my project somewhere down the line. They don't know the first thing about what I'm doing and why, I might not always see eye to eye with all the players from the domains where their work has found fertile grounds, and I'm far from ready for such complications, but it seems inevitable that our paths will cross at some point.

ndly control of PostgreSQL. It is truly appreciated and noticed, especially in the chaotic context of open source. 8 years your junior I spent a life as design authority, but in a corporate setting, meaning I find dealing with open-source people worse than herding cats, so I think you're doing incredibly well. Thank you. Regards, Marthin Laubscher

it is in there somewhere, how else would type like numeric and even varchar actually work (given that the VARSIZE of a varlena gives its actual size, not the maximum as given when the column or value was created)? Thank you in advance, Marthin Laubscher
