Well, here's a question. Given the recent discussion re full
disjunction, I'd like to know what sort of commitment we are going to
give people who work on proposed projects. I understand Warren's
keenness for this, but it's not clear to me that it has lots of support
elsewhere, and IIRC the idea was rejected by the SQL Standards body. I
don't object to making new data types available, but new table
properties is quite another matter.
So, what exactly are we promising?
cheers
