I'm concerned about the amount of overhead required to create and use a table:
  • set up a package and sql directory tree
  • create an acs object type
  • CREATE TABLE
  • set up three plpgsql functions, all hard to debug
  • create an order-sensitive drop script
  • and now, create a tcl directory and tcl wrapper function
I know it all pays off down the road, but we're up to three files in two directories with perhaps 200 lines of code just to get started. Since most of this is boiler-plate, are there any plans to automate some of this, either through auto-generation or functions?
