It's not clear what that would save exactly. The common coding pattern intermixes this test with collection of the individual values for subsequent processing, and you'd still have to do the latter. It also seems likely that a generic check of this form would be O(N^2) replacing code that is currently O(N). (I grant that N is usually too small for it to matter ... but I'm not sure that's always true.) regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
