22bd156ff0 Various fixes in the logic of XML functions:
- Add new SQL command SET XML OPTION (also available via regular GUC) to
  control the DOCUMENT vs. CONTENT option in implicit parsing and
  serialization operations.

- Subtle corrections in the handling of the standalone property in
  xmlroot().

- Allow xmlroot() to work on content fragments.

- Subtle corrections in the handling of the version property in
  xmlconcat().

- Code refactoring for producing XML declarations.

5a7471c307 Add COST and ROWS options to CREATE/ALTER FUNCTION, plus underlying pg_proc
columns procost and prorows, to allow simple user adjustment of the estimated
cost of a function call, as well as control of the estimated number of rows
returned by a set-returning function.  We might eventually wish to extend this
to allow function-specific estimation routines, but there seems to be
consensus that we should try a simple constant estimate first.  In particular
this provides a relatively simple way to control the order in which different
WHERE clauses are applied in a plan node, which is a Good Thing in view of the
fact that the recent EquivalenceClass planner rewrite made that much less
predictable than before.

fcf4b146c6 Simplify pg_am representation of ordering-capable access methods:
provide just a boolean 'amcanorder', instead of fields that specify the
sort operator strategy numbers.  We have decided to require ordering-capable
AMs to use btree-compatible strategy numbers, so the old fields are
overkill (and indeed misleading about what's allowed).

f41803bb39 Refactor planner's pathkeys data structure to create a separate, explicit
representation of equivalence classes of variables.  This is an extensive
rewrite, but it brings a number of benefits:
* planner no longer fails in the presence of "incomplete" operator families
that don't offer operators for every possible combination of datatypes.
* avoid generating and then discarding redundant equality clauses.
* remove bogus assumption that derived equalities always use operators
named "=".
* mergejoins can work with a variety of sort orders (e.g., descending) now,
instead of tying each mergejoinable operator to exactly one sort order.
* better recognition of redundant sort columns.
* can make use of equalities appearing underneath an outer join.

3026e1765f Mark TODO item "autovacuum on by default" as completed. 2007-01-17 03:43:49 +00:00

cf57ef4e50 Implement width_bucket() for the float8 data type.
The implementation is somewhat ugly logic-wise, but I don't see an
easy way to make it more concise.

When writing this, I noticed that my previous implementation of
width_bucket() doesn't handle NaN correctly:

    postgres=# select width_bucket('NaN', 1, 5, 5);
     width_bucket
    --------------
                6
    (1 row)

AFAICS SQL:2003 does not define a NaN value, so it doesn't address how
width_bucket() should behave here. The patch changes width_bucket() so
that ereport(ERROR) is raised if NaN is specified for the operand or the
lower or upper bounds to width_bucket(). For float8, NaN is disallowed
for any of the floating-point inputs, and +/- infinity is disallowed
for the histogram bounds (but allowed for the operand).

Update docs and regression tests, bump the catversion.

7021d6f6c8 Add a note to the docs describing NaN's equality and ordering behavior.

<   it to be used for all statements with little performance impact
<
< * Add estimated_count(*) to return an estimate of COUNT(*)

<   count.

9a54b76b39 Fix handling of CC (century) format spec in to_date/to_char. According to
standard convention the 21st century runs from 2001-2100, not 2000-2099,
so make it work like that.  Per bug #2885 from Akio Iwaasa.

Backpatch to 8.2, but no further, since this is really a definitional
change; users of older branches are probably more interested in stability.
