It returns an hstore that's effectively a slice of another hstore. From the docs (http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/hstore.html): 'a=>1,b=>2,c=>3'::hstore => ARRAY['b','c','x'] Result is: '"b"=>"2", "c"=>"3"'::hstore Best, David -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
