Update numeric_big regress test for 7.0. This has apparently been
...
broken almost since the word go ... I guess no one ever ran it ...
2000-03-30 07:13:20 +00:00
362575b782
Enable more flexible syntax for the SET command. Now allows single floats,
...
single integers, and lists of names, without surrounding them with quotes.
Remove all tokens which are defined as operators from ColID and ColLabel
to avoid precedence confusion. Thanks to Tom Lane for catching this.

Tweak indexscan cost estimation: round estimated # of tuples visited up
...
to next integer. Previously, if selectivity was small, we could compute
very tiny scan cost on the basis of estimating that only 0.001 tuple
would be fetched, which is silly. This naturally led to some rather
silly plans...
2000-03-30 00:53:30 +00:00

Clean up major bogosity in description of creating a new index operator
...
class. This chapter was apparently sewed together from several

Allow full type names in CREATE FUNCTION arguments and return type.
...
Move CREATE FUNCTION/WITH clause to end of statement to get around
shift/reduce conflicts with type names containing "WITH".
