Rewrite the grammar. Width modifiers are only supported on types that are hard-wired into the grammar, mainly because they look way too much like function calls to be distinguished without special hacking. Consider for example the implications of the fact that this works: regression=# select numeric(17,10) '1.23'; numeric -------------- 1.2300000000 (1 row) bison has to decide *before scanning beyond the left parenthesis* whether "numeric" is a function name or a type name. If you can think of a more general solution, I'm all ears, but it looks like a hard problem that would require considerable rethinking of the present grammar for these things. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
