Hi everyone. I just finished a course on PostgreSQL and I found out that PostgreSQL doesn’t provide any object relational features (as claimed in the official documentation), except table inheritance and very limited user defined types (I defined a UDT with 2 attributes and couldn’t use it in a table, and the trainer said it must contain 1 attribute at most so that it can be used (as a column) in tables)
So my question is whether there is (or will be) any support for (any of) the following:
More flexible user defined types and support for these in tables
Type inheritance
REF and DEREF data types
Nested tables
Polymorphism and more flexible casting of objects (like the TREAT function, not only the ONLY function)
Typed tables (create table X of type Y)
Object views
User defined functions (encapsulated in the body of a user defined type)
I would be really thankful for any fast reply, because I need to report to the management whether a migration to PostgreSQL is both efficient and possible or not.
