Обсуждение: BUG #1099: bad syntax error localisation

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      1099
Logged by:          Fabien Coelho

Email address:      coelho@cri.ensmp.fr

PostgreSQL version: 7.5 Dev

Operating system:   linux debian

Description:        bad syntax error localisation

Details:

The example is in the regression tests:-)

In src/test/regress/output/create_function_1.source
on line 55:

CREATE FUNCTION test1 (int) RETURNS int LANGUAGE sql
    AS 'not even SQL';
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "not" at character 1

You may notice that word "not" is not at character 1,
where there is "CREATE".

The error message refers to the function body, which is parsed
separately and therefore starts the count at 1.

I'm surprised there is no CONTEXT line here though.  You would have
gotten one for a syntax error in plpgsql; I must have overlooked doing
it for SQL.
