Tom Lane 11d8d72c27 Allow multiple tables to be specified in one VACUUM or ANALYZE command.
Not much to say about this; does what it says on the tin.

However, formerly, if there was a column list then the ANALYZE action was
implied; now it must be specified, or you get an error.  This is because
it would otherwise be a bit unclear what the user meant if some tables
have column lists and some don't.

Parser
======

This directory does more than tokenize and parse SQL queries.  It also
creates Query structures for the various complex queries that are passed
to the optimizer and then executor.

parser.c	things start here
scan.l		break query into tokens
scansup.c	handle escapes in input strings
gram.y		parse the tokens and produce a "raw" parse tree
analyze.c	top level of parse analysis for optimizable queries
parse_agg.c	handle aggregates, like SUM(col1),  AVG(col2), ...
parse_clause.c	handle clauses like WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, ...
parse_coerce.c	handle coercing expressions to different data types
parse_collate.c	assign collation information in completed expressions
parse_cte.c	handle Common Table Expressions (WITH clauses)
parse_expr.c	handle expressions like col, col + 3, x = 3 or x = 4
parse_func.c	handle functions, table.column and column identifiers
parse_node.c	create nodes for various structures
parse_oper.c	handle operators in expressions
parse_param.c	handle Params (for the cases used in the core backend)
parse_relation.c support routines for tables and column handling
parse_target.c	handle the result list of the query
parse_type.c	support routines for data type handling
parse_utilcmd.c	parse analysis for utility commands (done at execution time)

See also src/common/keywords.c, which contains the table of standard
keywords and the keyword lookup function.  We separated that out because
various frontend code wants to use it too.
