Oh, and I forgot OVER (assuming we want to actually use the windows, not just
define them). It looks like OVER and also PARTITION can get by as
type_func_name_keyword.
So that gives us:
col_name_keyword: CUBE ROLLUP
type_func_name_keyword: OVER PARTITION
reserved_keyword: ROWS WINDOW RANGE
unreserved_keyword: GROUPING SETS PRECEDING FOLLOWING OTHERS UNBOUNDED TIES EXCLUDE
I'm thinking it may make sense to lie about all of these in quote_identifier
so that someone who upgrades from 8.2 to 8.3 can then upgrade to 8.4. If we
add reserved words in one step then there's no way to upgrade except to rename
things before dumping. Any comments?
Does anyone else have any pet features from the spec which introduce new
syntax they would like to see in Postgres soon?
