Hello

This works the same indeed, just seems to be a hack, though a cool
one :)
Yeah -- the syntax isn't great, but IMO it's more generally usable
than what you're proposing because it's a scalar returning function
not a table expression. Another point is that the proposed 'like'
syntax (which I still think is great, just maybe not for conversions
from json) seems wedded to record types. The hstore trick should be
able to take a foo[], set it all up and return it. How would that
work with like?
few years back I proposed "anytypename" type
with this feature, you can has some clean and more readable call
SELECT * FROM populate_record(test, ...)
that would be great IMO.
I'll try propose it again - implementation should not be hard
You guys seem to be taking the original proposal off into the weeds. I
have often wanted to be able to use LIKE in type expressions, and I'd
like to see exactly that implemented.
cheers
