They name to be type_func_keywords, perhaps, but not fully reserved. And they'd still need that treatment anyway. Even if cube(whatever) can't mean "extract a column called cube from table whatever", it can still mean "call a function called cube on a column called whatever". -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
