Ah, thanks for the clarification. So I need to use CREATE TYPE rather than CREATE DOMAIN. Because I'm essentially just storing a text string with different operators, can I derive a type from TEXT (perhaps by reusing the same input, output, receive and send functions as TEXT?) I saw the textsend and textreceive functions, which I assume are the appropriate functions for send and receive? Are there any for input and output which I may reuse? Many thanks, Roger -- .''`.
