no it won't (unless I'm being completely obtuse in addition to being repetitive): LIKE only works when you treat your function call as a table expression: FROM func() AS ... that's fine, but converting-from-json functions will want to be able to be called anywhere a single value returning function would be normally called. hstore/populate_record trick allows this, so it's not apples to apples. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
