you will sometimes need to add parentheses when using combinations
906906
of binary and unary operators. For instance
907907
<programlisting>
908-
SELECT 5 ! + 6;
908+
SELECT 5 ! - 6;
909909
</programlisting>
910910
will be parsed as
911911
<programlisting>
912-
SELECT 5 ! (+ 6);
912+
SELECT 5 ! (- 6);
913913
</programlisting>
914914
because the parser has no idea -- until it is too late -- that
915915
<token>!</token> is defined as a postfix operator, not an infix one.
916916
To get the desired behavior in this case, you must write
917917
<programlisting>
918-
SELECT (5 !) + 6;
918+
SELECT (5 !) - 6;
919919
</programlisting>

This is the price one pays for extensibility.
