I guess if we ever did something to break that then we'd need to not do anything when there are volatile functions present. If people are writing that then probably they're doing so to trick the planner, perhaps to hide some stats that get outdated easily. I'd imagine we'd upset more people than we'd please. -- David Rowley http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
