some of the databases i'm trying to convert to postgres use user-defined
datatypes to simplify/standardize table creation. in postgres, the only
thing similar i can find is the 'CREATE TYPE' command, but it is a
little different, and substantially more than i need. all i need is
basically #DEFINE functionality. so, its more like aliasing a datatype
to simply map directly to a specific postgres datatype, for (var)chars,
a specific length is also provided.
is this just not available in pgsql right now?
cheers,
