* pgsql: Restore the ability to use | and -> as prefix operators. @ 2026-07-18 16:57 Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 2+ messages in thread From: Tom Lane @ 2026-07-18 16:57 UTC (permalink / raw) To: pgsql-committers@lists.postgresql.org Restore the ability to use | and -> as prefix operators. Commit 2f094e7ac changed the parser to treat these as built-in operator names, where before they were just generic Op. While it correctly gave them the same precedence as Op and added new productions to allow them to still be used as infix operators, it missed allowing them to still be used as prefix operators. At least one extension expects to be able to do that, so add the necessary productions.
