I asked the same question. It was noted that the xml functions aren't overloaded like that and that it's cleaner to introduce datum specific behaviors if you don't overload. I don't really agree with that or any of the naming styles that are in the form inputtype_func() but I think most people are on the other side of the argument. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
