I send a simple patch for PL/pgSQL parser which allow now to use whitespaces in identifers of any kind(table
names,attributenames,variables ...) in Pl/pgSQL procedural language.Explicit definition of bug can be found in

I assume this completes the TODO item:

        o Fix PL/PgSQL to handle quoted mixed-case identifiers

It is quite a bit of lex code, but I assume it was required.  No one
else was able to fix this item.


Your patch has been added to the PostgreSQL unapplied patches list at:

    http://candle.pha.pa.us/cgi-bin/pgpatches

I will try to apply it within the next 48 hours.

It would if it worked, but it doesn't --- for one thing, it seems
to allow empty identifiers (surely {DQUOTE}* should be {DQUOTE}+).
I'm not convinced it parses identifiers the same as the main scanner
does anyway.  Why not just lift the flex code for identifiers
out of parser/scan.l?

            regards, tom lane

I would love to know why doing this TODO item is so hard.  Every time I
ask Jan, he says it is very hard and it never gets done.

It doesn't look that hard to me, but I haven't tried yet ...
