Yup. BTW does "any" match other pseudotypes? Would I be able to pass a cstring into "any"? That would create a large security hole I think. > Given that we've got away so far with only 1 instance of anyelement, > I'm not really convinced that there's a market for more than anyelement2 > (and anyarray2, etc). Well, if we have something general like a constrained "any", then I agree. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
