+1. Making the types numbers when they really are numbers will aid in searching in PuppetDB and this is going to benefit a lot of people. Not only that, they are often more optimal for storage - as they will be stored as big integers in PostgreSQL versus a string of digits. The indexes for these columns are more appropriate as well. ken. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
