sql: support @ operator
otan opened this issue · comments
Currently we've special cased the @ operator for column specification, e.g. tbl_name@3.
This special casing prevents us from using @ for legitimate Postgre-esque operations, such as @ for bounding box for PostGIS.
Jira issue: CRDB-3574
We also use it for index specification: SELECT * FROM t@idx WHERE...
I didn't know we used it to specify columns. That usage feels like it could be more easily removed. I think people like the index hints quite a bit, though.
We have marked this issue as stale because it has been inactive for
18 months. If this issue is still relevant, removing the stale label
or adding a comment will keep it active. Otherwise, we'll close it in
10 days to keep the issue queue tidy. Thank you for your contribution
