Alright, then. It's just that at one point people seemed to think that upsert should support exclusion constraints, and that position was, at the time, lacking a good justification IMV. What you talk about here seems much more practical than generalizing upsert to work with exclusion constraints. You're talking about exclusion constraints as an implementation detail of something interesting, which I had not considered. -- Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
