Hi-
I've defined an XOR function as:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION xor(bool, bool)
RETURNS bool AS
'SELECT ($1 OR $2) AND NOT ($1 AND $2);'
LANGUAGE 'sql' IMMUTABLE STRICT;
Is there anyway to create an infix version of this? I'd really like be
able to write (where a..d are some boolean conditions):
a XOR b XOR c XOR d
instead of:
xor(a, xor(b, xor(c, d)))
which gets a little hard to understand as it gets long, esp. when mixed
with AND & OR.
I know one can do this with user-defined operators, but adding a #
operator for booleans seems ugly. I thought I saw a way to do this, but
now I can't find it in the manual... TIA.
