No. That is not the same as it being unsupported. Postgres is built around the concept of being extensible, and one important aspect of that is having some "standard" extensions as test cases. ltree seems to fit that category quite well, in that it's useful for some people but not so widely used as to need to be in core. (Even if there were a credible argument for putting ltree in core, I doubt it would win out over backwards-compatibility concerns. We've found in the past that moving things into core is not exactly transparent.) regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
