Ah, quite interesting. I grabed all the keywords in our SGML docs
listed as somehow reserved in Postgres, and then ran "SELECT word FROM
pg_get_keywords() WHERE catcode != 'U'" to get all the keywords from our
C code, and then compared the two. The two missing keywords were OVER,
and WINDOW, as you mentioned.
I have applied the attached patch to CVS HEAD and 8.4.X to properly
document our keywords.
