The rule is that (v).label is equivalent to label(v), therefore it will only find function "label" if that's in your search path. I am very much not excited about randomly enlarging the search path depending on syntax --- quite aside from the difficulty of documenting it clearly, that seems like a great recipe for security hazards. 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
