It isn't clear what Django could do with MERGE. Maybe a suggestion will come later in the thread. At this point, as far as Django is concerned, Peter's proposal aligns well with what our users ask for. > I didn't see any evidence of the other two. Perhaps comparing the email I reacted to with the following proposal will help: "Obviously the PostgreSQL project can make its own choices. But I'm surprised that you're proposing non-standard syntax and semantics, considering PostgreSQL's tradition to comply with SQL standards. Even if you disagree with some aspects of the specification of MERGE, wouldn't it be valuable to implement it properly? Since I'm not the most knowledgeable person on this topic, where can I learn more about the reasons for this choice?" (I've had to add one idea to base the argumentation on at least one fact. Otherwise the ideas are the same in the same order.) -- Aymeric. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
