Doc: in back branches, don't call it a row constructor if it isn't really.
Before commit 906bfcad7
, we were not actually processing the righthand
side of a multiple-column assignment in UPDATE as a row constructor:
it was just a parenthesized list of expressions. Call it that rather
than risking confusion by people who would expect the documented behaviors
of row constructors to apply.
Back-patch to 9.5; before that, the text correctly described the construct
as a "list of independent expressions".

According to the standard, the source value for a parenthesized sub-list of
|
||||
column names can be any row-valued expression yielding the correct number
|
||||
of columns. <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> only allows the source
|
||||
value to be a parenthesized list of expressions (a row constructor) or a
|
||||
value to be a parenthesized list of expressions or a
|
||||
sub-<literal>SELECT</>. An individual column's updated value can be
|
||||
specified as <literal>DEFAULT</> in the row-constructor case, but not
|
||||
specified as <literal>DEFAULT</> in the list-of-expressions case, but not
|
||||
inside a sub-<literal>SELECT</>.
