We could dike out the feature:
convert_list: a_expr USING any_name { elog(ERROR, "CONVERT(... USING ...) is
notimplemented"); }
Short of that, I think we need an initdb to change the function
signature for the convert() function. It needs to take a (suitably
quoted) text parameter, not an OID.
Since we forced initdb only a week ago with beta3, I don't think there
is really a strong argument against doing it again. But probably Marc
will say that we need a beta4 at this point, instead of going for RC1...
