Обсуждение: Proposed TODO: add support for "any" for PL/PythonU and PL/Perl
Hackers, I'd like to add the following todo items to the TODO list: PL/Python: * add support for anyelement and anyarray to PL/Python * add support for VARIADIC "ANY" to PL/Python PL/Perl: * add support for anyelement and anyarray to PL/Perl * add support for VARIADIC "ANY" to PL/Perl The reason for this is that both Python and Perl are loosely typed languages, and deal with variables as polymorphic. Mapping Postgres polymorphic parameters to functions in these PLs couldn't be more natural. I know from my part that support for VARIADIC "ANY" in PL/Python would save me a bunch of shell function writing. I don't personally intend to hack these out, but they seem like good things to put on the TODO list as good tasks for new hackers (and maybe GSOC students) to take on. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com
