If by the first point you mean "assume V1 when no info function is found", I object to that. If you mean you want to require an info function, that might be OK. The habit of zero-initializing Datums has got exactly nothing to do with V0 functions; it's about ensuring consistent results and avoiding heisenbugs from use of uninitialized memory. I do not think we should drop it. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
