Re: Version data type. - DONE

Hello all,

I thought I would give it a try anyways...

This data type is based on Garrett A. Wollman isbn / issn code

It can be downloaded from:

ftp://ftp.freaky-namuh.com/pub/devel/Postgresql/version_number/version_number-0.2.tar.gz

The README file explains most of it.

It's not perfect, but it's still useful... (and I don't know enough
about Postgres's internals to know if it's "done right" (tm).)
