RE: [INTERFACES] [JDBC] Serialization

The Interfaces list is the place to talk about it, and I'm the person
you should be talking to (rather my home email address:
peter@retep.org.uk)

Don't work on the 6.4.2 source though, as the code has changed alot in
6.5 to allow the driver to compile under the Java2 platform.

I'm open to any help I can get, as my time has become limited over the
last few months, and the next 2-3 weeks are going to be even busier :-(

Subject: [INTERFACES] [JDBC] Serialization


I've been experimenting with the object serialization features of
the JDBC driver recently and I've noticed the implementation (as of
PostgreSQL 6.4.2) is not yet complete.  I've been giving this some
attention in my Copious Free Time but things are starting to get
serious since I'm feeling tempted to tweak things like the
postgresql.Connection class.

I'd like to see the serialization functionality mature since I'm
interested in using it in some upcoming projects, but I'd prefer
to move in the same direction as the production JDBC driver code
that will appear in subsequent PostgreSQL releases.

So, I'd like to throw my hat into the ring.  Is anybody else
interested in pursuing this?  Is this the right place to discuss it?
Is there somebody in particular I should talk to?  Which way to the
ring?  :)
