Tom Lane 26ae660903 Improve error messages about misuse of SELECT INTO.
Improve two places in plpgsql, and one in spi.c, where an error
message would confusingly tell you that you couldn't use a SELECT
query, when what you had written *was* a SELECT query.  The actual
problem is that you can't use SELECT ... INTO in these contexts,
but the messages failed to make that apparent.  Special-case
SELECT INTO to make these errors more helpful.

Also, fix the same spots in plpgsql, as well as several messages
in exec_eval_expr(), to not quote the entire complained-of query or
expression in the primary error message.  That behavior very easily
led to violating our message style guideline about keeping the primary
error message short and single-line.  Also, since the important part
of the message was after the inserted text, it could make the real
problem very hard to see.  We can report the query or expression as
the first line of errcontext instead.

Per complaint from Roger Mason.  Back-patch to v14, since (a) some
of these messages are new in v14 and (b) v14's translatable strings
are still somewhat in flux.  The problem's older than that of
course, but I'm hesitant to change the behavior further back.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
