Обсуждение: A note about proargmodes and Pavel's pending patches
Awhile back I was objecting to Pavel's table-function patch on the grounds that it introduced a new proargmodes value (thereby breaking every client that looks at proargmodes) for what seemed to me to be entirely insignificant benefits. I still consider that patch mostly useless syntactic sugar, but that particular argument against it is now a lot weaker in view of his variadic-functions patch, which also introduces a new proargmodes value ... this time in support of actual new functionality. If we're going to make clients update their proargmodes handling, adding knowledge of two values rather than one isn't a huge additional burden. So I withdraw my opposition to table-functions on the condition that variadic-functions gets in too. The question for the list is: does anyone have any serious objections to either feature? If not, I'll get started on trying to get those patches integrated. http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/162867790807100638n47c00eb4w304473a247a20aa7@mail.gmail.com http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/162867790807140617s105a0a5ew61100897db52d23b@mail.gmail.com regards, tom lane
