Recently I was typing in a query in PG 10.4.
What I MEANT to type was: Where xyz >= 2400
What I actually typed was: Where xyz >- 2400
The latter was interpreted as 'where xyz > -2400', but I'm wondering if it shouldn't have thrown an error on an unrecognized operator '>-'
From the syntax section of the documentation:
A multiple-character operator name cannot end in + or -, unless the name also contains at least one of these characters:
~ ! @ # % ^ & | ` ?
For example, @- is an allowed operator name, but *- is not. This restriction allows PostgreSQL to parse SQL-compliant queries without requiring spaces between tokens.
