The PG project's position, as stated in the docs I pointed you to, is that you should write a space between adjacent operators. The SQL spec thinks differently, so we've made sure that you can leave out space between operators that are defined in the SQL standard, but that's as far as we'll go. There are too many existing operators, both within PG core and elsewhere, that would be broken by changing those rules now. regards, tom lane
