Tom, Checking my copy of the "hit list", I thought we'd agreed to migrate contrib/oracle as well. Hmmm ... somehow that got dropped out of discussions early on, without any reason why. See the "more nuclear options" thread; oracle is nowhere on it. Will only take me 30 min to migrate, but

Re: [HACKERS] Ding-dong, contrib is dead ...

Andrew, It seems odd to remove the module from contrib for 8.2 and then put a replacement in core for 8.3. I guess we could signal our intentions in the release notes. The current code is GPL. It *has* to be removed. --Josh ---(end of broadcast)

[HACKERS] Fixed length data types issue

So I'm thinking again about the problems with fixed length data types not having typmod available when they would need it. But I'm having trouble finding enough old posts to get a handle on exactly what the problem is. This would make a nice test of the new wiki. I would be indebted to whoever c
