​Would "colon-equal" be more acceptable - like in pl/pgsql?
Hmmm... I would tend to think that is even clearer as a separator than a mere "=". Too much Pascal in my youth? :-)
Although ":" means beginning of variable name in pgbench, I would not think that it is an issue because = is not a valid variable name.
Even if "=" becomes a valid operator I would have to think it is a binary operator and so its position at the start of an expression would still be unambiguous as to whether it is cosmetic or functional.
That is also my conclusion. -- Fabien. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
