Alvaro, I understand your reaction, you're on the developer side... but
please try to understand us mortals who can't write good C code too:
some of us like what postgres already offers, but we would also like to
not need those workarounds. And the only thing we can do is make big
noise so somebody from the other side (sour side) will notice it and at
one point do something about it... the noise here by no means means we
have a low opinion about postgres. On the contrary, we appreciate enough
postgres and it's developers to ask for what we would like to see, and
we are sure there are some gifted developers out there who can program
those features we scream about...
Cheers,
Csaba.
