[Zope-dev] Fw: object features of PostgreSQL

[Ross J. Reedstrom]

Interesting forward, Michel. The object features of PostgreSQL are
suffering from a little bit of neglect, since none of the current
developers use them or are focussed on them. Recently, items have been
added to the TODO list to fix up some missing functionality with respect
to which DDL commands will accept the class notation, and well as some
discussion as to what should and shouldn't be inherited, and how to do
it (for example, unique indices on a field in a parent table, which is
inherited by the children)

A large scale project, like a db store for Zope, would certainly exercise
that codebase, and flush out all the moths (exorcise them?) The few
mentions I've seen on the PostgreSQL lists seem to indicate the the
existing code works, but is missing a few pieces. Perhaps a semester coding
project for some student around here ...
