Hi Adrian, >> II) Having PostgreSQL issuing a NOTICE that "comments get stripped" if you >> use comments somewhere where PostgreSQL accepts them, but discards them >> silently? > > I think that is covered by this: > http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/sql-syntax-lexical.html#SQL-SYNTAX-COMMENTS > "A comment is removed from the input stream before further syntax analysis and is effectively replaced by whitespace." Now that you mention it and I read that paragraph, it is obvious. I was far too focused on the chapters on COMMENT ON and CREATE FUNCTION, so I didn't think about the possibility that there might be a paragraph on in-line comments, too --- as the syntax is well-known and so to say standard to nearly everyone who writes code, so it comes automagically without having to think about it (or read...). So it was clearly my fault.
