you will sometimes need to add parentheses when using combinations
906
906
of binary and unary operators. For instance
907
907
<programlisting>
908
- SELECT 5 ! + 6;
908
+ SELECT 5 ! - 6;
909
909
</programlisting>
910
910
will be parsed as
911
911
<programlisting>
912
- SELECT 5 ! (+ 6);
912
+ SELECT 5 ! (- 6);
913
913
</programlisting>
914
914
because the parser has no idea -- until it is too late -- that
915
915
<token>!</token> is defined as a postfix operator, not an infix one.
916
916
To get the desired behavior in this case, you must write
917
917
<programlisting>
918
- SELECT (5 !) + 6;
918
+ SELECT (5 !) - 6;
919
919
</programlisting>

This is the price one pays for extensibility.

You can’t perform that action at this time.
