Yikes. Although numeric is theoretically nice, it is hundreds of times
slower than native doubles. We've already moved it in to some of the
other aggregate math functions without much d

It looks like we have three versions of factorial, for int2 int4 and
int8. The version taking int2 is just plain wasted code space (perhaps
it pre
Yep, 0! sure looks like a bug. We will fix it in 7.3. Not sure about

Janko Richter ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.
Short Description
factorial function
Long Description
1. The factorial function returns 0 when the argument is 0. The factorial Funtion is
defined as: factorial(0)=1
2. It would be
