This seems to be fallout from the move to tighten up implicit coercions (cf http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2002-04/msg00528.php as well as lots of earlier discussions). I said right along that this topic needed more debate, but we haven't gotten back to looking at it. We have a number of other nasty behaviors in current sources that trace back to altering the set of available coercions. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
