Personally, I don't find any of these proposals terribly intuitive. You know we don't really need an operator at all. slice(hash, array[1,2,3]) seems like not much typing overhead over hash % array[1,2,3] and clearer to boot. The only real advantage to having operators is for operators used to define opclasses. I can't see this ever being used in such a circumstance (but perhaps I'm not imaginative enough for GIST indexes these days) so unless there's a clear analogy to some basic operator that makes code clearer I would suggest it's not really buying us anything to define an operator name at all. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
