Can anybody explain what might be happening here?
abc=> create operator =* ( leftarg = varchar, rightarg = varchar,
abc-> procedure = vciceq, commutator = =* );
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "varchar"
The function "vciceq" already exists, and works. I've tried a
number of variations on the above with different spacing, with no
success. Is there some syntax peculiarity I'm missing? This is on
PostgreSQL 6.5.2 on a Linux x86 system (RedHat 5.1, kernel 2.0.34).
TIA...

Isn't the operator '=*' a reserved operator for a right outer join?

That may be, but I just tried it with an operator name of =: and
got the same result, so that doesn't appear to be the problem here. :(
