I think the syntax Tom suggested before was FOREACH thingy IN ARRAY arr rather than just FOREACH thingy IN arr. That's probably a good idea, because it gives us an escape hatch against needing to invent yet another variant of this syntax - the word immediately following IN can be known with confidence to be intended as a keyword rather than as part of the expression. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
