I remember that Sybase ASE allowed a trailing comma within the parentheses of a table definition, which was handy. I checked on SQL Fiddle and found that MS SQL Server and MySQL both allow that, too; although Oracle does not. I'm not taking a position on whether we should allow this in PostgreSQL, but not having it is likely to annoy some users moving *to* PostgreSQL, while having it is likely to annoy some users moving *away* from PostgreSQL. None of the products I tried allowed a leading comma. I didn't test, and have no knowledge regarding, how other products treat extra commas elsewhere. -- Kevin Grittner EDB: 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
