Hmm ... the Oxford English Dictionary defines "forensic" as "pertaining to, connected with, or used in courts of law". There are also some senses related to argumentation, but nothing specifically about evidence analysis, whether after-the-fact or not. So yeah, it doesn't seem like a good name for these functions anyhow. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
