I vote that we stick to a strick SQL92 interpretation, here. 1) It's standard 2) Strict syntax on DELETE statements is better. Personally, I would *not* want the database to "guess what I want" in a delete statement; it might guess wrong and there go my records ... Heck, one of the things I need to research how to turn off in PostgreSQL is the "Add missing FROM-clause" feature, which has tripped me up many times. -- -Josh Berkus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
