Hello world,
I am using "PostgreSQL 7.1.2 on i386-unknown-freebsd4.2, compiled by GCC
2.95.2" (according to version()). I suspect that there is a parser bug in
the handling of '--' comments:
radius=# create function test() returns integer as '
radius'# begin
radius'# -- comment without quotes
radius'# return 0;
radius'# end;
radius'# ' language 'plpgsql';
CREATE
This works OK
radius=#
radius=# create function test2() returns integer as '
radius'# begin
radius'# -- comment 'with' quotes
radius'# return 0;
radius'# end;
radius'# ' language 'plpgsql';
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "with"
It seems that the parser does not ignore the rest of the line after the '--
', as I would suspect...
