RE: BUG #18195: PL/pgSQL: invalid syntax allowed in SELECT INTO statement - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

Hi Pavel,

Now I see what Tom said: this 'garbage' becomes an 'AS'-alias of the column.
Invalid code 
select 1 into _n somegarbage;
is treated as
select 1 somegarbage into _n;
which is valid.

Regards,
Pavel
