pgsql: Allow I/O conversion casts to be applied to or from any type that


  • From: tgl(at)postgresql(dot)org (Tom Lane)
  • To: pgsql-committers(at)postgresql(dot)org
  • Subject: pgsql: Allow I/O conversion casts to be applied to or from any type that
  • Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2008 21:23:17 +0000 (UTC)
  • Message-id: <20080730212317(dot)B9FF9754A86(at)cvs(dot)postgresql(dot)org>

Log Message:
-----------
Allow I/O conversion casts to be applied to or from any type that is a member
of the STRING type category, thereby opening up the mechanism for user-defined
types.  This is mainly for the benefit of citext, though; there aren't likely
to be a lot of types that are all general-purpose character strings.
Per discussion with David Wheeler.
