Hi All,



I've worked out how to munge the Opensource to allow me to express
integer constants in k....only 4 files need to be altered, its really
sweet!



This allows us to do things like:

create table x (a integer) with page_size=8k;

modify x to hash unique on a with minpages=120k;

insert into x(a) values(5k);



etc...



The 'k' is case insensitive, it could be a 'K'.



Before I go through the hassle of submitting a DDS etc I was wondering
if there was any desire to allow megabytes, Gigabytes etc.

I refer you to the comments Karl made on the desirability of supporting
huge data page sizes for data warehousing (right at the end).

'Potential Catalog Updates - Ingres Community Wiki'
(http://community.ingres.com/wiki/Pot...atalog_Updates)

At some point we may see multi-megabyte page sizes (!), so why limit it
whilst you are already messing with the code.
