Hi, I have read in the future PostgreSQL 8.2 release note (http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/release-8-2.html) that DELETE RETURNING will be supported. Tom, could please confirm that the following PL/PGSQL statements will work on PostgreSQL 8.2?
INSERT INTO a(x, y) DELETE FROM b RETURNING x, current_timestamp; IF NOT FOUND THEN -- No data were deleted actually END IF; Thanks, -- Daniel ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
