I'm sorry to suggest anything at this point, but... would it be less invasive if instead of requiring the immediate cast you created a special case in the array code to allow a placeholder object for "empty array of unknown type". The only operation which would be allowed on it would be to cast it to some specific array type. That way things like UPDATE foo SET col = array[]; INSERT INTO foo (col) VALUES (array[]); could be allowed if they could be contrived to introduce an assignment cast. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's RemoteDBA services! ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
