Would it be possible to have parameters in the SERIAL datatype? CREATE TABLE x { ID SERIAL(100, 10) }
means ID starts at 100 and will be incremented by 10. And it would be nice to have CREATE TABLE x { ID SERIAL(0,0) } mean that ID will be issued random non-repeating values (period=2^bitwidth of type). This is most likely useful in replication/merging data. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
