In longer term we should move any specific COPY flag names and values out of grammar and their checking into the parts that actually implement whatever the flag is influencing Similar to what we do with OPTIONS in all levels of FDW definitions (WRAPPER itself, SERVER, USER MAPPING, FOREIGN TABLE) [*] https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createforeigndatawrapper.html > >> I'm assuming there's a > >> conflict with another json-related rule somewhere in gram.y, but I haven't > >> tracked down exactly which one is causing it. > > While I've not looked too closely, I suspect this might be due to the > FORMAT_LA hack in base_yylex: > > /* Replace FORMAT by FORMAT_LA if it's followed by JSON */ > switch (next_token) > { > case JSON: > cur_token = FORMAT_LA; > break; > } My hope is that turning the WITH into a fully independent part with no grammar-defined keys or values would also solve the issue of quoting "json". For backwards compatibility we may even go the route of keeping the WITH as is but add the OPTIONS which can take any values at grammar level.
