Hello I thing, so this patch is maybe good idea. I am missing better function specification. Specification by name isn't enough - we can have a overloaded functions. This syntax doesn't allow to use explicit cast - from my personal view, the syntax is ugly - with type specification we don't need to keyword FUNCTION
what about:: var a) by type specification COPY table TO foo(varchar, int) var b) by value expression - it allows some changes in order, casting, constants COPY table TO foo($3, $1::date, $2::text, CURRENT_DATE, true); One question: We have a fast copy statement - ok., we have a fast function ok, but inside a function we have to call "slow" sql query. Personally What is advantage? We need pipes like like COPY table TO foo(..) TO table foo() should be a transformation function, or real pipe function Regards Pavel Stehule -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
