Last night I was reviewing my proposed patch from this thread, to try to address other expressed concerns, and noticed that I had used this language from the SQL spec in the patch. I see your point now. Without the same context as the spec, and when intended for a different audience, this language probably isn't the best. It now also occurs to me that the spec is a copyrighted work, and it probably isn't appropriate to copy a chunk that big into PostgreSQL docs. I'll write something in my own words to replace this. Thanks for the input, and sorry for misunderstanding. -Kevin
