Hi Has anyone done any work on IEEE 754-2008 decimal types for PostgreSQL? I couldn't find anything, so I was thinking it might be a fun exercise for learning about extending PostgreSQL with user defined types. My first goal is to be able to store decimal numbers with a smaller disk footprint than NUMERIC. I was thinking I would start out by defining types DECIMAL32 and DECIMAL64 and some casts between those types and NUMERIC. (A more ambitious project for later would be defining arithmetic operators etc using compiler/hardware support).
