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
