(well it surprised me :)
<jim> does 9.x make "supply missing from clause" go away?
<RhodiumToad> jim: yes
<jim> RhodiumToad: hi, so that means "select func(arg1, ..., argN);" is out?
<jim> ok, not understanding then...
<RhodiumToad> jim: way back in the day, you could do select table.*;
<jim> oh ok
<RhodiumToad> jim: which would be treated as select * from table;
<RhodiumToad> jim: then a config setting was added to turn that off
<RhodiumToad> jim: then the config setting was changed to be off by default
<endpoint_david> the slow wheels of deprecation...
<RhodiumToad> jim: and in 9.0 the config setting is actually removed
<jim> so it's permanently off?
<RhodiumToad> yes
<jim> ok, thanks
<RhodiumToad> it's been off by default since 8.1, iirc
<RhodiumToad> it was a dangerous setting because it made it way too wasy to do accidental cross-joins
