Re: Question about attention to pgsql-hackers@lists.postgresql.org

From the original post
"-This whole system will uphold any precision, certainly ones within a very
large range limit, controlled by the already available type for large
positive integers, the BIGINT. It can thereby enumerate digits within the
range of
(+/-)1 to (+/-)9,223,372,036,854,775,807. This is at least between one and
positive nine quintilion digit places. More than enough for the speed and
scope of today, or maybe tomorrow, and the Desktop PC, as either a client
or a server."

As I know PostgreSQL 14 "field" size upper limit : 1 GB ~= 1 000 000 000
byte ( 1 byte --> 2 digits )
so this is a hard limitation on the PostgreSQL side.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/limits.html

proposal for the first iteration:
- just using the Postgres "numeric" type ( "up to 131072 digits before the
decimal point; up to 16383 digits after the decimal point" )
and it will be so much easier.

Why is this important to you?
How are you expected to contribute to the proposed project?
What technical background do you have?
