|

|

<Para>
|

<ProductName>Postgres</ProductName> provides a large number of
|

built-in operators on system types.
|
||||
These operators are declared in the system catalog
|
||||
<literal>pg_operator</literal>. Every entry in <literal>pg_operator</literal> includes
|
||||
the name of the procedure that implements the operator and the
|
||||
class <Acronym>OIDs</Acronym> of the input and output types.

</Para>

<Para>

Users may invoke operators using the operator name, as in:

<ProgramListing>

select * from emp where salary < 40000;
|

</ProgramListing>
|

Alternatively, users may call the functions that implement the
|
||||
operators directly. In this case, the query above would be expressed
|

as:
|

<ProgramListing>
|

select * from emp where int4lt(salary, 40000);

<para>
|

Operators have a precedence which is currently hardcoded into the parser.
|
||||
Most operators have the same precedence and are left-associative. This may lead
|
||||
to non-intuitive behavior; for example the boolean operators "<" and ">"
|
||||
have a different precedence than the boolean operators "<=" and ">=".

<title>Lexical Precedence</title>

<para>
|

The precedence and associativity of the operators is hard-wired
|
||||
into the parser. Most operators have the same precedence and are
|
||||
left-associative. This may lead to non-intuitive behavior; for
|
||||
example the boolean operators "<" and ">" have a different
|
||||
precedence than the boolean operators "<=" and ">=". Also,
|
||||
you will sometimes need to add parenthesis when using combinations
|
||||
of binary and unary operators. For instance
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
SELECT 5 & ~ 6;
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
will be parsed as
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
SELECT (5 &) ~ 6;
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
because the parser has no idea that <token>&</token> is
|
||||
defined as a binary operator. This is the price one pays for
|
||||
extensibility.

Note that the operator precedence rules also apply to user-defined
|

operators that <quote>look like</quote> the built-in operators
|

with special treatment. For example, if you define a
|
||||
<quote>+</quote> operator for some custom data type it will have
|
||||
the same precedence as the built-in <quote>+</quote> operator, no
|
||||
matter what yours does.
