FWIW, that's about my evaluation of the alternatives as well. I fear that #1 would get a lot of pushback. If we think that something like "LATERAL ROWS FROM STRICT" is worth having on its own merits, then doing #2.5 seems worthwhile to me, but otherwise I'm just as happy with #2. David J. seems to feel that throwing an error (as in #2.5) rather than silently behaving incompatibly (as in #2) is important, but I'm not convinced. In a green field I think we'd prefer #2 over #2.5, so I'd rather go that direction. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
