+1 No one liked my suggestion of ~> ? Too similar to -> ? Other ideas: 'foo' :> 'bar' 'foo' @> 'bar' 'foo' #> 'bar' 'foo' &> 'bar' 'foo' *> 'bar' 'foo' +> 'bar' 'foo' > 'bar' 'bar' <= 'foo' I actually like :> pretty well. It looks more like =>, and has nice correspondence to := for named function params. Hey, why not Unicode? 'bar' ➡ 'foo' ;-) > Perhaps it would be sane to make hstore_in accept either => or ==>, but > not change hstore_out (for now)? +1 David -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
