The feature would be pretty easy to add in 8.1 (perhaps even within my
skills!), but the issue is that because it's a non-standard thing, I'd
like to know just how many other db's do it. If it's only MySQL, then
it's really touch and go as to whether I'd bother.
However...that said, I have a new philosophy of ease-of-use and this is
the 10^nth time someone has requested this feature, so I'd be inclinedto
give the people what they want!
