Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I have looked at PG'OCaml before, and
though I liked the concept, I was a bit put off by the lock-in
into Postgresql.

But regardless of this particular example, is there a general
solution to my problem, that of "de-unifying" type variants?

Cheers,
C.S.

That made me smile

The idea of being "locked in" to free software. Well, I guess
PG'OCaml does require PostgreSQL, but that's only because it is the
only database which has the necessary 'DESCRIBE' statement (which,
given a statement, parses it and tells you what types it takes and
returns). If other databases have it, then you could add support for
them.
