Hi,

Is there a reason why both:

        SELECT current_user;
        SELECT current_database();

are correct, while neither of:

        SELECT current_user();  -- syntax at '('
        SELECT current_database; -- missing column

is?

This is as of postgres version 8.1.4

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
       choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
       match
