Hello, While reviewing PostgreSQL 8's SQL:2003 conformance (see the documentation mailing list), I've come across a - possibly - easy-to-implement conformance improvement for CREATE FUNCTION:
SQL:2003 uses the word DETERMINISTIC where PostgreSQL uses IMMUTABLE. And SQL:2003 uses "NOT DETERMINISTIC" where PostgreSQL uses STABLE or VOLATILE. I suggest that DETERMINISTIC be added as a synonym for IMMUTABLE and that "NOT DETERMINISTIC" be added as an alias for VOLATILE in PostgreSQL's grammar for CREATE FUNCTION. I might try creating a patch, but I'd rather spend my time finishing the conformance review. -- Greetings from Troels Arvin, Copenhagen, Denmark ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
