Probably better to see if we can fix the grammar instead of documenting a klugy workaround. I'm not sure we can easily allow fully-reserved words there, but type_func_name_keyword might work. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
