I understand from the family Java expert that (surface syntax issues aside) the second is similar to the way Java does this, in fact, so there's some precedent. That would mean that your first would actually mean each variadic arg has to be an array of ints, which we might well want to provide for. So with that modification I'll be lots happier with the feature. cheers andrew -- Sent via pgsql-patches mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-patches
