test=# \d amount
Table "public.amount"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------+--------------------------------------------------------
id | integer | not null default nextval('public.amount_id_seq'::text)
value | integer |

test=# select "value" from amount;
value
-------
(0 rows)

test=# select value from amount;
server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.

Not very graceful... (and this is different to the geqo prob I saw with my
libpq++ program, cured with geqo=false (Thanks Tom!))

This is a known bug also (in the domain-constraint patch, which has
turned VALUE into a reserved word, a rather unpleasant price to pay
for the feature IMHO). Rod claimed his latest patch fixes it, but
AFAIK that hasn't been applied yet.

It was applied a couple of days ago by Bruce.

a=# select value;
ERROR: VALUE is not allowed in expression for node 732

Error message isn't great, but it doesn't crash anymore.
