That's the old SQL operator (which is not even there anymore) that's equivalent to the hstore(text,text) constructor function, ie "text => text returning hstore". It's quite a different concept from the => notation inside an hstore literal. That is: 'foo'::text => 'bar'::text is not like '"foo" => "bar"'::hstore even though they have the same end result. 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
