Multiples concatenation operator (||)
Started by Ricardo J.C.Coelhoalmost 27 years ago2 messages
Hi,
Why "||" operator is not associative ?
select 'A' || 'B' || 'C'; results in a parse error at second "||".
If you force the association, it works: select ('A' || 'B') || 'C';
The same thing happen with mod "%".

It is a problem with the grammer not understanding associativity with
non-standard operators like ||. No good solution for it.
