E.1.3.7.1. System Information Functions
Add functions for error-free pg_class, pg_proc, pg_type, and pg_operator lookups (Yugo Nagata, Nozomi Anzai, Robert
Haas)
For example, to_regclass() does error-free lookups of pg_class, and returns NULL for lookup failures.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Probably "error-free" is too strong wording because these functions
are not actualy error free.
test=# select to_regclass('a.b.c.d');
ERROR: improper relation name (too many dotted names): a.b.c.d
STATEMENT: select to_regclass('a.b.c.d');
