Hello, Please find attached a minor stylish patch. It compiles and the update test cases work for me. Description: Add "AS EXPLICIT" to "CREATE CAST" This gives a name to the default case of "CREATE CAST", which creates a cast which must be explicitely invoked. From a language definition perspective, it is helpful to have a name for every case instead of an implicit fallback, without any word to describe it. See for instance "CREATE USER CREATEDB/NOCREATEDB" or "CREATE RULE ... DO ALSO/INSTEAD" for similar occurences of naming default cases. -- Fabien.
