Hm. Maybe I'm looking at the problem incorrectly. I have a situation
where I need a table like
CREATE TABLE foo (
start DATE,
length VARCHAR(10),
);
I need to be able to get one value for each column at any given time.
Specifically, I need to get a value for start and add the value for
length to get a time period. Since your approach would allow more
than one row, how does it help me?
