With format(...) it's pretty easy, really. Perhaps just changing the docs to remove all the quote_ident based examples in favour of format(...) would be enough. Pavel's points are pretty good - what exists now isn't ideal from a usability and friendliness PoV, but changing it would require making a big mess elsewhere that's not worth doing. -- Craig Ringer http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
