I believe it's HUGE_VAL (the largest finite value) ... which is something I don't want to explicitly test for, any more than I liked the explicit use of min/max values before. Your isinf test is OK because the point is that we want to replace any non-Inf result with Inf if the result overflowed. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
