Yes, it is necessary since the arguments to a function are just expressions. If you do not the above would be ambigious and there is no clean way to fix that. Say that => is an operator returning a boolean, then the above could either be the function foo called with x=13 and y=42 or the function foo called with two booleans. We could of course make up some other syntax that does not involve => but then you loose compability with oracle. I've not checked if there is anything similar in the sql2003 draft yet. I will do that of course. If someone has information about that, please speak up. -- /Dennis Björklund ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
