Description

PostgreSQL has supported range types since 9.2 (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/rangetypes.html).

And interestingly, we have a customer who'd like to store KPI targets as a range, and store it as open data in CKAN as they want to link to the raw data from their dashboard.

Perhaps this can be supported post-load by adding range type support using the Data Dictionary datatype casting feature?

Research direction

Start by reviewing PostgreSQL range types and CKAN's Data Dictionary datatype casting feature. Determine the intended post-load integration and define the supported range behavior and acceptance criteria before identifying implementation and test locations.
