USING sounds reasonable to me. Peter?


To those not on -patches, Peter is unhappy with the TRANSFORM clause in:       ALTER TABLE tab ALTER COLUMN col
TRANSFORMexpression;
 

The reasoning is that TRANSFORM in the spec means something different
than our use. We're attempting to come up with a replacement term.
