Certainly. I was doing that to have a simple example; obviously you wouldn't write a mod funciton, and you wouldn't do it in plpgsql. There are other case where the lack of mutability in IN parameters causes you to create a throwaway variable. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. www.pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
