Is there any way to define a natural sorting order for composite types? For

Makes sense. Thanks!

ocs that states that DROP statements
require explicit tagging, so I assumed that not specifying any tags would
include all tags. Is this an oversight in the docs and expected behavior or
is this a bug? Doesn't fire in any version from 9.6 on. I didn't test
versions before 9.6.
Thanks in advance,

Perhaps a better question would be "What problem are you trying to solve?"
rather than focus on how you expected to solve that problem.

I was under the impression that PostgreSQL 12 removed this limitation. Was

In terms of "wasted computation", MD5, SHA1, and the others always compute

How do you see this syntax working in a JOIN query?
SELECT x.* EXCEPT x.col1, x.col2, y.col1
FROM tablex AS x
LEFT JOIN tabley AS y;
The column(s) you want to exclude become ambiguous. Parentheses?
SELECT x.* EXCEPT (x.col1, x.col2), y.col1
FROM tablex AS x
LEFT JOIN tabley AS y;
Could work

How can the new record returned from RETURNING to converted to jsonb?
For example something like:

or

RETURNING to_jsonb(*);
or
INSERT INTO my_table (a, b, c) VALUES ('a', 'b', 'c')

I did the same for at least a year, but I must admit that v4 has improved
greatly since its initial release. Also it turns out is handy for running
in a docker-compose environment so no matter who is starting up on your
team, they always have a database and a database admin tool at the ready
along
Also of note: PostgreSQL already has a money type (
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-money.html)
But you shouldn't use it (
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Don%27t_Do_This#Don.27t_use_money).
I only bring it up so that you can know to make your money type a slightly
different name
Are there any plans to (or specific decisions not to) support a RETURNING
clause on MERGE statements in future versions of Postgres? The only
reference I could find in the mailing list archives was this comment, which
suggested it was desired but simply not technically feasible at the time.

false, the SELECT clause would not be evaluated. Why is get_byte(...)

Yep, which is why it really should be re-versioned to UUIDv8 to be

CREATE DOMAIN po.email AS varchar

Code is not seamless or DRY, but manageable.

Follow up to this. Turns out we had a table without a primary key which
halted the ongoing replication.
