Hi Alvaro,

So I pushed 0001 on Friday, and here are 0002 (which I intend to push
shortly, since it shouldn't be controversial) and the "JSON query
functions" patch as 0003.  After looking at it some more, I think there
are some things that need to be addressed by one of the authors:

- the gram.y solution to the "ON ERROR/ON EMPTY" clauses is quite ugly.
   I think we could make that stuff use something similar to
   ConstraintAttributeSpec with an accompanying post-processing function.
   That would reduce the number of ad-hoc hacks, which seem excessive.

- the changes in formatting.h have no explanation whatsoever.  At the
   very least, the new function should have a comment in the .c file.
   (And why is it at end of file?  I bet there's a better location)

- some nasty hacks are being used in the ECPG grammar with no tests at
   all.  It's easy to add a few lines to the .pgc file I added in prior
   commits.

- Some functions in jsonfuncs.c have changed from throwing hard errors
   into soft ones.  I think this deserves more commentary.

- func.sgml: The new functions are documented in a separate table for no
   reason that I can see.  Needs to be merged into one of the existing
   tables.  I didn't actually review the docs.

Please take a look at the following minor issues in
v15-0002-SQL-JSON-query-functions.patch:
1)
s/addreess/address/

2)
ECPGColLabelCommon gone with 83f1c7b74, but is still mentioned in ecpg.trailer.

3)
s/ExecEvalJsonCoercion/ExecEvalJsonExprCoercion/ ?
(there is no ExecEvalJsonCoercion() function)

4)
json_table mentioned in func.sgml:
   <xref linkend="functions-sqljson-querying"/> details the SQL/JSON
   functions that can be used to query JSON data, except
   for <function>json_table</function>.

but if JSON_TABLE not going to be committed in v16, maybe remove that reference
to it.

There is also a reference to JSON_TABLE in src/backend/parser/README:
parse_jsontable.c handle JSON_TABLE
(It was added with 9853bf6ab and survived the revert of SQL JSON last
year somehow.)

Best regards,
Alexander
