equivalentto my attempt but with much better comments and cleaner code. <br /><br />But it doesn't seem to cover the
caseI was stumped on, namely "nulls first" appearing in a place where two unreserved keywords can appear consecutively.
Thisdoesn't happen for WITH_* before "with" is a reserved keyword.<br /><br />Looking into it a bit I see that the case
Iwas most worried about is actually a non-issue. We don't support column aliases without "AS" unless the alias is
completelyunknown to the parser. That seems a bit of a strange rule that must make the syntax with the missing AS
prettyunreliable if people are looking for code that will continue to work in future versions. I never knew about
this.<br/><br />The only other case I could come up with in my regression tests is pretty esoteric:<br /><br />CREATE
COLLATIONnulls (locale='C');<br />ALTER OPERATOR CLASS text_ops USING btree RENAME TO first;<br />CREATE TABLE
nulls_first(ttext);<br /> CREATE INDEX nulls_first_i ON nulls_first(t COLLATE nulls first);<br /><br />I'm not 100%
surethere aren't other cases where this can occur though.<br clear="all" /><br />-- <br />greg<br />
