Maybe this is just a matter of semantics, but I thought we were going to deprecate => in 9.0 so that people started to avoid its use altogether. Why wait till 9.1 to recommend avoidance? I had imagined that 9.1 was going to ban => altogether. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvherre(a)commandprompt.com> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.

Two documentation comments: 1. Perhaps, rather than > + The <literal>=></> operator is deprecated and may be removed in a > + future release. The use of the <literal>hstore(text, text)</literal> > + function is recommended as an alternative. write > + The <literal>=></> operator is deprecated and will be removed in a > + future release. Use the <literal>hstore(text, text)</literal> > + function instead. in particular, s/may/will/ and avoid passive voice in the second sentence. 2. The 8.4 and 8.3 doc patches should include this same paragraph. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

The point was that if you want to bikeshed, please do it on the OTHER thread, not this one. :-) -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
