Are there any plans for PostGreSQL to support something like the following
without having to write specialized C code for each type? (or maybe it
already does?)
create type a_type ( field_a int, field_b int );
create table a_table ( a_column a_type );
If i try this now, i get "column 'a_column' has composite type 'a_type'".
Seems like PostGreSQL should be able to figure out the mapping for me
without having to resort to writing my own C extension.
