I had a quick look in things. I think it's a great learning material for pg
internals..;-)
I have a suggestion. In README, it should be worth mentioning that, new types
can be added just by changin Makefile. e.g. Changing line
OBJS = char3.o char4.o char10.o
to
OBJS = char3.o char4.o char5.o char10.o
would add the datatype char5 as well.
Obviously this is for those who might not take efforts to read the source. (
Personally I wouldn't have, had it been part of entire postgres source dump.
Just would have done ./configure;make;make install)
Thanks for the solution. It wouldn't have occurred to me in ages to create a
type for this. I guess that's partly because never used postgresql beyond
select/insert/update/delete. Anyway should have been awake..
Thanks once again
Bye
