We actually did that, before 8.0 or thereabouts. It was removed because it cost a lot of planner cycles for *every* query, and helped for only a small number of stupidly-written ones. In general, you can probably remove such duplicates on the client side more efficiently than the database could anyway (realizing that whatever it might do has to be datatype-independent). 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
