The SQL spec does not have the concept of user-definable operators at all, so it provides no useful guidance about the set of characters that ought to be allowed in operator names (except, obviously, that we must include every character actually used in a SQL-standard operator). Oracle reportedly treats $ as an identifier character, so I don't think they could consider it an operator character. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
