The annotation_names table

annotation_names is used for the IMAP ANNOTATE extension, which permits annotating messges with string variables.

Each message annotation has a name and a value. The name (a column in the annotations table) refers to this table, and this table holds all the annotation names ever seen.

By convention, anyone who inserts rows into annotation_names also sends NOTIFY annotation_names_extended in the same transaction. 


create table annotation_names (
    -- Grant: select, insert
    id          serial primary key,
    name        text unique
);

The annotation_names table was introduced in version 0.99.
