I think he is referring to whether when discussing a Type we are discussing all operations, whether delivered with a given DBMS or home-grown. The extensions are the features of a DBMS that permit the home-grown variety of operators to be defined, if I understand correctly.

If there were no closed-minded people, we would not understand what it is to be open-minded, I guess.

If I ask an employee or student to write or code a class, they know what I mean. So, the term is useful, even if it is a synonym of some other term. --dawn Received on Thu May 27 2004 - 04:22:51 CEST
