Backwards compatibility is the reason why it isn't an error now. -hackers is not really the right forum to find out whether anyone is depending on that behavior. I'd suggest you shop the proposal around on -general or -sql and see if you get any complaints. (I think there are a couple other cursor-related warnings that really oughta be errors, too; might as well finger them all while you are at it.) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
