Yeah, sorry I didn't want to be critical. I'm grateful of all the great
work that's been done to make it a working stable product. I just wanted
to raise some awareness of what Postgres was originally meant to be.
I've been following the research being done at Berkeley in early times
always hoping that some of the OO features would mature more.
I will try and come to terms with the code to try and add some of these
features myself, I've just spent a few hours browsing the code, but
there is certainly a big learning curve there, especially as the doco is
minimal. But I'll see what I can do.
