Hi,
Attached are the C-routines that implement a BIT and BIT VARYING type.
I know Bruce said he would integrate them, but he is writing a book at
the moment as well, so if somebody can explain to me how to go about
integrating it, or would like to have a go, go ahead.
If any functions are missing, let me know and I will add them. This
should implement concatenation and substr as defined in the SQL
standard, as well as comparison operators. I've also added all the
normal bit operators.
I developed the C routines outside the postgres source tree, only using
postgres.h and copying bits from ctype.h. I hope it will be fairly easy
to integrate.
Any comments welcome.
