Hstore and transactions

Parent article: PostgreSQL 9.0 arrives with many new features

AFAICS, hstores are "just another plug-in datatype" like so many others (XML datastore and PostGIS geometries, for example).

So the hstore column is like a string, text or anything else part of the normal transaction mechanism.

Thanks. I'll try out Postgres soon then!
