Hi All,

I've worked out how to munge the Opensource to allow me to express integer constants in k….only 4 files need to be altered, its really sweet!

This allows us to do things like:

create table x (a integer) with page_size=8k;

modify x to hash unique on a with minpages=120k;

insert into x(a) values(5k);

etc…

The 'k' is case insensitive, it could be a 'K'.

Before I go through the hassle of submitting a DDS etc I was wondering if there was any desire to allow megabytes, Gigabytes etc.

I refer you to the comments Karl made on the desirability of supporting
huge data page sizes for data warehousing (right at the end).

At some point we may see multi-megabyte page sizes (!), so why limit it
whilst you are already messing with the code.
