Hi
I am still little bit unhappy with missing functionality in our generic
types.
If I write function fx(anyelement, anyelement) returns anyelement
postgres=# create or replace function fx(anyelement, anyelement) returns
anyelement
as $$ select greather($1,$2) $$ language sql;
CREATE FUNCTION
postgres=# select fx(1,1.1);
ERROR: function fx(integer, numeric) does not exist
LINE 1: select fx(1,1.1);
^
It fails on basic example.
What do you think about introduction new similar polymorphic type, that
will use common type for real parameters?
some like
create or replace function fx(anyvalue, anyvalue) returns anyvalue
create or replace function fx(anyvalue[]) returns anyvalue
Using "any" and casting inside function has significant negative impact on
performance
