The first problem is that we have to make the decision far upstream of that. The second is that whether we *can* insert a parameter symbol is not the same as whether we *should*. Even if we made that work, we'd only be fixing the cases that currently result in trivial-for-users-to-recognize syntactic errors. The deeper semantic errors arising from substituting a parameter where the user meant to refer to a similarly-named column can only be dealt with through user education. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
