What is hard to understand is why you're going on and on about what is basically a matter of opinion after several people have said they don't agree with your opinion. Realistically, as much as we might try to fool ourselves into believing otherwise, operators are not self-documenting, except for the ones you knew by the fourth grade. People will have to read the documentation no matter what we do here. If the documentation is good enough, let's improve it. But let's not fool ourselves into believing that calling the operator || or + or (in the spirit of this discussion) ?!?!?!? will make it clearer. If we wanted to make it clearer, we'd have made it a function instead of an operator. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
