Hi all.
 
I have read the last version of PostgreSQL (7.3 beta) and found that the second version of CREATE TYPE is very interesting.
 
So we can create a type that look like a RECORD.
For example:
CREATE TYPE adress AS (number int, street text, country VARCHAR);
 
But can i use this type in a table definition like this:
CREATE TABLE person (his_name VARCHAR, his_adress adress);
 
Someone can answer to my question.
 
Thanks for your help.
 
Jérôme Chochon.
