when two equal() targetlist items were to be added to an ORDER BY or
DISTINCT list. Although indeed this would make sorting fractionally
faster by sometimes saving a comparison, it confuses the heck out of
later stages of processing, because it makes it look like the user
wrote DISTINCT ON rather than DISTINCT. Bug reported by joe@piscitella.com.
The -n and -N options were removed. Quoting is now smart enough to
supply quotes if and only if necessary.
Numerical types are now printed without quotes, except in cases of
special values such as NaN.
Boolean values printed as true and false.
Most string literals now do not escape whitespace characters (newlines,
etc.) for portability.
SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION argument is a string literal, to follow SQL.
Made commands output by pg_dump use consistent spacing and indentation.

scanbuf). The new patch does the same as before:
template1=# select * frum pg_class;

It also implement's Tom's suggestion:
template1=# select * from pg_class where\g
ERROR: parse: parse error at end of input

This patch is an updated version of the lock listing patch. I've made
the following changes:
- write documentation
- wrap the SRF in a view called 'pg_locks': all user-level
access should be done through this view
- re-diff against latest CVS
One thing I chose not to do is adapt the SRF to use the anonymous
composite type code from Joe Conway. I'll probably do that eventually,
but I'm not really convinced it's a significantly cleaner way to
bootstrap SRF builtins than the method this patch uses (of course, it
has other uses...)

sets of triggers. Also modify psql \d command to show foreign key
constraints as such and hide the triggers. pg_get_constraintdef()
function added to backend to support these. From Rod Taylor, code
review and some editorialization by Tom Lane.

Thanks.
Attached is a patch against cvs tip as of 8:30 PM PST or so. Turned out
that even after fixing the failed hunks, there was a new spot in
bufmgr.c which needed to be fixed (related to temp relations;
RelationUpdateNumberOfBlocks). But thankfully the regression test code
caught it :-)

CREATE DOMAIN newint as int4;
CREATE TABLE tab (col newint unique);
ERROR: data type newint has no default operator class for access method
"btree"
You must specify an operator class for the index or define a
default operator class for the data type
Specifically, GetDefaultOpClass() finds 0 exact matches and 3 binary
compatible matches. Fetching getBaseType() of the attribute fixes the
problem for domains (see attachment).

composite type capability makes it possible to create a system view
based on a table function in a way that is hopefully palatable to
everyone. The attached patch takes advantage of this, moving
show_all_settings() from contrib/tablefunc into the backend (renamed
all_settings(). It is defined as a builtin returning type RECORD. During
initdb a system view is created to expose the same information presently
available through SHOW ALL. For example:
test=# select * from pg_settings where name like '%debug%';
name | setting
-----------------------+---------
debug_assertions | on
debug_pretty_print | off
debug_print_parse | off
debug_print_plan | off
debug_print_query | off
debug_print_rewritten | off
wal_debug | 0
(7 rows)
Additionally during initdb two rules are created which make it possible
to change settings by updating the system view -- a "virtual table" as
Tom put it. Here's an example:

(they are not part of a chain). When failing to find a parent tuple in
an update chain, emit a warning and abandon repair_frag, but do not give
an error as before. This should eliminate the infamous 'No one parent tuple
was found' failure, which we now realize is not a can't-happen condition
but a perfectly valid database state. Per recent pghackers discussion.
heap_mark4update; this avoids situations where a deleted tuple might
look like it is chained to something else. Also, cause all the WAL
redo routines to set t_ctid to equal t_self, rather than leaving it
undefined as before. Make heap_xlog_clean set the page's LSN and SUI
correctly. All per past discussions in pghackers, ranging back to
last December.
to make a reasonable attempt at accounting for palloc overhead, not just
the requested size of each memory chunk. Since in many scenarios this
will make for a significant reduction in the amount of space acquired,
partially compensate by doubling the default value of SORT_MEM to 1Mb.
Per discussion in pgsql-general around 9-Jun-2002..
it takes could be held for quite awhile after the analyze step completes.
Rethink locking of pg_statistic in light of this fact. The original
scheme took an exclusive lock on pg_statistic, which was okay when the
lock could be expected to be released shortly, but that doesn't hold
anymore. Back off to a normal writer's lock (RowExclusiveLock). This
allows concurrent ANALYZE of nonoverlapping sets of tables, at the price
that concurrent ANALYZEs of the same table may fail with 'tuple
concurrently updated'.

I update two tuples, so I manually CatalogOpenIndexes() and
CatalogIndexInsert() two times, as per comments in
CatalogUpdateIndexes().
I also removed a couple of useless CommandCounterIncrement(), some
useless definitions in src/include/commands/cluster.h and useless
includes in src/backend/commands/cluster.c. This version passes the
regression test I had made for previous versions.

Reported by Neil Conway -- I never implemented readfuncs.c support for
ColumnDef or TypeName, which is needed so that views can be created on
functions returning type RECORD. Here's a patch.

relfilenode.
I sent the CLUSTER patch a few days ago and I think it was missed. I
append it again, this time including the regression test files. For the
committer, please note that you have to cvs add the files as they don't
exist. Maybe add to the parallel and serial schedules also, but I don't
know such stuff.

error handling, and simplifies the code that remains. Apparently,
the code that left Berkeley had a whole "error handling subsystem",
which exceptions and whatnot. Since we don't use that anymore,
there's no reason to keep it around.
The regression tests pass with the patch applied. Unless anyone
sees a problem, please apply.

has_language_privilege, has_schema_privilege to let SQL queries test
all the new privilege types in 7.3. Also, add functions pg_table_is_visible,
pg_type_is_visible, pg_function_is_visible, pg_operator_is_visible,
pg_opclass_is_visible to test whether objects contained in schemas are
visible in the current search path. Do some minor cleanup to centralize
accesses to pg_database, as well.
to behave according to SQL92 (or according to my current understanding
of same, anyway). Per pghackers discussion way back in March 2002:
thread 'Do FROM items of different schemas conflict?'
offset past the last-used-item-plus-one, since that would result in
leaving uninitialized holes in the item pointer array. AFAICT the only
place that was depending on this was btree index build, which was being
cavalier about when to fill in the P_HIKEY pointer; easily fixed.
Also a small performance improvement: shuffle itemid's by means of
memmove, not a one-at-a-time loop.
