Обсуждение: Question about attention to pgsql-hackers@lists.postgresql.org
Dear pgsql-general,
I have successfully sent an (updated) email list message to
pgsql-hackers@lists.postgresql.org
which can be viewed in the archive here:
I was wondering if anyone can or will pay some active attention to it?
i.e. what can I do from here to raise the message there to the attention
of more people involved with pgsql-hackers, in order to get one or more
active email replies in response to what I have posed/asked?
My email address is poweruserm@live.com.au,
and my online name for the post is
Sergio Minervini.

It is a long, winding e-mail, suggesting an extension for "high precision arithmetic support". It is written in a way so that at least I cannot right away understand what this is supposed to be, or how it does anything that "numeric" doesn't. At the end of your e-mail, it turns out that you are looking for someone to implement this not very well specified extension for you, for free. I am not surprised that you got no response. You'll have to write that extension yourself or hire someone to do it for you (but then you should come up with a better specification). Yours, Laurenz Albe

On top of that OP has already received a lot of answers in the past, it's just that since no one wants to take care of a whole non trivial project for free the answer is never what OP wants. So I'm pretty sure that everyone on the list is well aware of what OP wants, and keeping sending regular messages isn't going to help: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/PSXP216MB0085760D0FCA442A1D4974769AF99@PSXP216MB0085.KORP216.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/PSXP216MB0085B1C0B3E10A1CF3BCD1A09ACD9@PSXP216MB0085.KORP216.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/PSXP216MB0085098A2D76E3C5DD4F8AE99ACF9@PSXP216MB0085.KORP216.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/PSXP216MB0085F21467C36F05AB9427879ADF9@PSXP216MB0085.KORP216.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/PSXP216MB0085ADE313F9F48A134057F39AA19@PSXP216MB0085.KORP216.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/PSXP216MB0085D05D015DE0C46A11BE1F9AA79@PSXP216MB0085.KORP216.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM I also received 2 private emails for the same project, one of which containing *a lot* of other people.

On top of that, most of the functionality can be obtained by using plpython3u and importing "numpy".

From the original post
"-This whole system will uphold any precision, certainly ones within a very large range limit, controlled by the already available type for large positive integers, the BIGINT. It can thereby enumerate digits within the range of
(+/-)1 to (+/-)9,223,372,036,854,775,807. This is at least between one and positive nine quintilion digit places. More than enough for the speed and scope of today, or maybe tomorrow, and the Desktop PC, as either a client or a server."so this is a hard limitation on the PostgreSQL side.
proposal for the first iteration:
- just using the Postgres "numeric" type ( "up to 131072 digits before the decimal point; up to 16383 digits after the decimal point" )
and it will be so much easier.
- just using the Postgres "numeric" type ( "up to 131072 digits before the decimal point; up to 16383 digits after the decimal point" )

Why is this important to you?
How are you expected to contribute to the proposed project?
What technical background do you have?
