I was wondering if we could relax that. I got bit by that just a couple days ago --- I supposed that a trigger that wasn't returning anything useful shouldn't need an explicit RETURN. So +1 for doing something about it. However, unless it's a very small and simple patch, I concur with Robert that it might be a bit late to consider this for 9.1. regards, tom lane
