+1. However, if that's the route we're traveling down, I think we had better go ahead and remove the one remaining => operator from hstore in 9.2: CREATE OPERATOR => ( LEFTARG = text, RIGHTARG = text, PROCEDURE = hstore ); We've been warning that this operator name was deprecated since 9.0, so it's probably about time to take the next step, if we want to have a chance of getting this sorted out in finite time. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
