Hi everyone,

Thought this would be interesting for fellow developers - as of 8.3,
there is now the facility to specify a typmod as part of a user-defined
type, e.g.

CREATE TABLE foo AS (
	id bigint,
	the_geom geometry(4326)
);

This could have some interesting uses for defining geometries with
coordinates systems and dimensionality....


ATB,

Mark.
