(It's > debatable how useful that would be, anyway) I'd very strongly resist exposing the server's parsetrees to clients, because then changing them would represent a protocol break, and we change them constantly. If you're desperate to have an editing facility like this, put it into server-side code ... and expect to revise it at every major release. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
