What was your first clue? :-)
I would like to get have a (living?) drawing/document that shows all the
interfaces inside of a running postgres installation. This would be a
first step for me to understand how to do a roadmap of implementing
fully independent encoding down to the column, sorting per index/column,
whatever it takes to be able to:
Have multiple charsets/languages AT LEAST at the table table level,
(some people might be happy with one charset/langauge per table, but the
spec calls for down to the column), have LIKE, REGEX, indexes,
mulitcolumn indexes all work well under that scenario, natively, w/o
having to do extra finaggling that would be a gotcha during restores,
failovers, server farms,etc.
Maybe a bulleted list that would start with the following:
1/ Set all names in the DB to be in unicode with automatic
translation between SQL and outputs.
2/ Make the initdb only set the DEFAULT sorting for databases.
3/ Make indexes automatically use OP CLASSES for unicode.
I don't know, I'm shooting my mouth off here and I know it. I want to
learn more, but I'd prefer it was from both the top down and bottom up,
not just bottom up.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to
ma*******@postgresql.org)
