As indeed the text says. What the continuation mention is talking about is this syntax: regression=# select b'10001' '00100'; ?column? ------------ 1000100100 (1 row) which works like regression=# select 'foo' 'bar'; ?column? ---------- foobar (1 row) Perhaps there's something we could change to make this clearer, but I'm not sure what. regards, tom lane
