Yeah, the ANY has to be on the right-hand side of the operator. What you can do for this is build yourself a "reverse like" operator, ie flip the left and right arguments within the function. I'm pretty sure there are worked-out examples in the archives if that's not enough of a hint for you. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
