Can anyone help me remove the shift/reduce conflicts from the syntax? It
works perfectly, but since you guys won't accept shift/reduce
conflicts....

I've made changes to gram.y to reduce the conflicts down to a couple of
harmless shift/reduce conflicts, but I don't seem to have the right
black-magic incantations to remove these last ones. They seem to be
related to ONLY syntax. Can anybody help?

Hi,

does your patch still work if you make ONLY a ColLabel and not a
TokenId, this would lead to ONLY not being a ColId and by that
removing all unresolvable conflicts in the grammar? This patch
against your gram.y does this. I have tested it with bison 1.27,
and verified that the conflicts are gone, but I have not tested
it for correct behavior in postgres. I did not have the time to
understand the whole grammar so I might have missed something
obvious.

Regards,
Fredrik Estreen

You're a genius!

I'm re-submitting this OO patch... Did the 7.1 tree start yet?
