Thoughts, other ideas? I don't feel particularly strongly about the name (I've also intentionally held off on updating the pgfoundry version of the code until this is settled so no-one else should care either). My own expectation is that the operator should normally be used in preference (though obviously people's tastes will vary in this respect). -- Andrew (irc:RhodiumToad) -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
