Hmmm ... "ALL" is already a reserved word, so is unlikely to be a variable name, yes? I'd think we could get some breakage on "ROWS". So I'd go for "RETURN ALL". Overall, I think this is worthwhile, but maybe not enough to bypass feature freeze. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
