Why unsigned integer is not available in PostgreSQL?

by

It’s not in the SQL standard, so the general urge to implement it is lower.

Having too many different integer types makes the type resolution system more fragile, so there is some resistance to adding more types into the mix.

That said, there is no reason why it couldn’t be done. It’s just a lot of work.
