This may be because nobody has yet come to it, or because it has been decided that it will not be implemented for whatever reason. If the syntax you propose is part of the SQL standard, feel free to propose it. If it's not, you need to present a solid case for it to be implemented. If you propose it and there are no objections, it doesn't mean it will be implemented right away; it'll happen much sooner if you send a patch. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support
