There is are no syntax layouts on this page or in similar sections in the docs --- they are reserved for the reference pages. I don't think it makes sense to add it here. One odd thing is that WITH can be used with non-SELECT statements, but we only document it in SELECT, which is odd. I think that is because the SQL standard only uses WITH with SELECT. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + As you are, so once was I.
