Ah, you want it for aggbasetype in pg_aggregate, I did not see that. How could we then disallow it's use in other context ? Seems if there is no restriction, "any" will be exactly as prone to "wrong use" as opaque was. May be a plan could be to leave opaque, but throw a notice when it is used in a create stmt, like: NOTICE: the use of type OPAQUE should be avoided where possible Andreas ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
