Yes. It would be interesting. And I have even more interesting (or stupid)
idea on this. I have recently read some introductory materials on CORBA
and learned about IIOP which was designed as universal network protocol.
Actually I haven't yet go deep into this CORBA stuff and can't judge
about it. But from what I know it looks promising. If you have a CORBA
interface you no longer have to care about numerous network issues and
different language mappings. So I think CORBAification of PostgreSQL
would be great.
Crazy, yeh?
