I agree with disallowing embedded spaces, I think, but not allowing trailing spaces is inconsistent with our practice in other cases (in particular, these very same variables, when written as pure numbers...) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
