It would help if you were a bit more specific. Do you mean you want to write something like foo.bar(baz) and have that mean call the bar method of foo and pass it baz as an argument? If so, that'd certainly be possible to implement for purposes of a college course, if you're so inclined - after all it's free software - but we'd probably not make such a change to core PG, because right now that would mean call the function bar in schema baz and pass it foo as an argument. We try not to break people's code to when adding nonstandard features. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
