This seems wrong: in HEAD, an empty select list does *not* generate a error warning anymore:
$ psql -X psql (9.4devel_HEAD_20140130_0805_571addd) Type "help" for help. testdb=# create table t as select i from generate_series(1,3) as f(i); SELECT 3 testdb=# select * from t; i --- 1 2 3 (3 rows) testdb=# select from t; -- (3 rows) Surely the behaviour of v9.3, which complains healthily with: ERROR: syntax error at or near "from" LINE 1: select from t; is to be preferred. thanks, Erik Rijkers -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
