and instead make the grammar production for the RETURN statement do the heavy lifting. The lookahead idea was copied from the main parser, but it does not work in plpgsql's parser because here gram.y looks explicitly at the scanner's yytext variable, which will be out of sync after a failed lookahead step. A minimal example is create or replace function foo() returns void language plpgsql as ' begin perform return foo bar; end'; which can be seen by testing to deliver "foo foo bar" to the main parser instead of the expected "return foo bar". This isn't a huge bug since RETURN is not found in the main grammar, but it could bite someone who tried to use "return" as an identifier. Back-patch to 8.1. Bug exists further back, but HEAD patch doesn't apply cleanly, and given the lack of field complaints it doesn't seem worth the effort to develop adjusted patches.
PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces including some of the more common listed below: C++ - http://thaiopensource.org/development/libpqxx/ JDBC - http://jdbc.postgresql.org ODBC - http://odbc.postgresql.org Perl - http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/ PHP - http://www.php.net Python - http://www.initd.org/ Ruby - http://ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/ Other language binding are available from a variety of contributing parties. PostgreSQL also has a great number of procedural languages available, a short but not complete list is below: PL/pgSQL - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/Perl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/PHP - http://projects.commandprompt.com/projects/public/plphp PL/Python - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/Java - http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pljava/projdisplay.php PL/Tcl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
