Works for me. !! hasn't been marked as deprecated in the documentation, only the operator comment, which probably not many people look at. But I don't see a problem updating the documentation now to say: - !! is going away, use factorial() - ! is going away, use factorial() - postfix operators are going away -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
