The following web site contains a set mathematical functions that looks
interesting:

http://www.boic.com/numintro.htm <http://www.boic.com/numintro.htm> 

Maybe you should consider using this to implement the numeric and decimal
data types rather than writing or re-writing from scratch.  The license is
only $99. If it works it could save Jan a lot of time.  I would be more than
willing to purchase a license for PostgreSQL if this will help.  Well, I
thought it was interesting.

Thanks, Michael

	    The latest discussions on rules discovered some problems with
	    the rewrite system.

	    It seems that varlevelsup in rule actions subselects get lost
	    somehow.   And  while  at  it I saw some out of range varno's
	    generated for rules group by entries.

	    I really hope to find the bugs until June  1st,  but  if  not
	    this is IMHO a show stopper - no?
