BTW, while I'm looking at this, I notice that there was an oversight in the change that made us throw an error for \ at the end of the LIKE pattern. We throw error in the first code chunk that deals with \ but we don't do so here:
if (plen < 2) return LIKE_FALSE; firstpat = CHAR(p[1]); In some cases the problem is masked because we'll eventually apply the normal \ processing, but I think there are other cases where we'll reach a LIKE_ABORT condition and return false without ever throwing the error. Seems like this should be fixed. But should we back-patch that fix into 8.4? We didn't backpatch the original change for fear of breaking existing apps, and the same argument could probably be made this time. Should I change it in 8.4, or only 9.0? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
