Greetings: I have a scenario in which it would be quite convenient to mark about 20 existing columns in a table such that I can select those fields programatically, based on my flag, for some specialized processing. What I am trying to avoid is storing a list of columns somehere. Is there something like a "user area" in the underlying tables that define a column that could be safely utilized for this purpose? I'm using PostgreSQL 8.3 on Red Hat. TIA -- Terry Tucker Office: 336-372-6812 |
