Severity : non-critical
Summary: obscure error when misusing table name as an attribute
System Configuration

Operating System : Solaris 2.6
PostgreSQL version : 6.4.2
Compiler used : Sunpro cc 4.2

---------
SunOS fondue 5.6 Generic_105181-12 sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-20

Problem Description:
--------------------
I get a very obscure error message when I mistakenly use
a table name as an attribute and compare it to
an IN clause
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test Case:
----------
xrcf_tc_log is a table; there is no attribute in xrcf_tc_log
named xrcf_tc_log
spectral=> select xtc_testid from xrcf_tc_log where xrcf_tc_log not in ( select trwid from as_run_cmdb );
NOTICE: unknown node tag 704 in fireRIRonSubselect()
NOTICE: Node is: { IDENT "xrcf_tc_log" }
ERROR: ExecEvalExpr: unknown expression type 704
Shouldn't it say something like "Yo Dude! no such attribute"?

Solution:
---------
