Fix select_common_type() so that it can select a domain type, if all inputs
...
to a UNION, CASE, or related construct are of the same domain type. The
main part of this routine smashes domains to their base types, which seems
necessary because the logic involves TypeCategory() and IsPreferredType(),
neither of which work usefully on domains. However, we can add a first
pass that just detects whether all the inputs are exactly the same type,
and if so accept that without question (so long as it's not UNKNOWN).
Per recent gripe from Dean Rasheed.
In passing, remove some tests for InvalidOid, which have clearly been dead
code for quite some time now, because getBaseType() would fail on that input.
Also, clarify the manual's not-very-precise description of the existing
algorithm's behavior.

Fix ALTER SEQUENCE so that it does not affect the value of currval() for
...
the sequence. Also, make setval() with is_called = false not affect the
currval state, either. Per report from Kris Jurka that an implicit
ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY unexpectedly caused currval() to become valid.
Since this isn't 100% backwards compatible, it will go into HEAD only;
I'll put a more limited patch into 8.2.

Disallow scrolling of FOR UPDATE/FOR SHARE cursors, so as to avoid problems
...
in corner cases such as re-fetching a just-deleted row. We may be able to
relax this someday, but let's find out how many people really care before
we invest a lot of work in it. Per report from Heikki and subsequent
discussion.
While in the neighborhood, make the combination of INSENSITIVE and FOR UPDATE
throw an error, since they are semantically incompatible. (Up to now we've
accepted but just ignored the INSENSITIVE option of DECLARE CURSOR.)

Remove the aggregate form of ts_rewrite(), since it doesn't work as desired
...
if there are zero rows to aggregate over, and the API seems both conceptually
and notationally ugly anyway. We should look for something that improves
on the tsquery-and-text-SELECT version (which is also pretty ugly but at
least it works...), but it seems that will take query infrastructure that
doesn't exist today. (Hm, I wonder if there's anything in or near SQL2003
window functions that would help?) Per discussion.

Rename and slightly redefine the default text search parser's "word"
...
categories, as per discussion. asciiword (formerly lword) is still
ASCII-letters-only, and numword (formerly word) is still the most general
mixed-alpha-and-digits case. But word (formerly nlword) is now
any-group-of-letters-with-at-least-one-non-ASCII, rather than all-non-ASCII as
before. This is no worse than before for parsing mixed Russian/English text,
which seems to have been the design center for the original coding; and it
should simplify matters for parsing most European languages. In particular
it will not be necessary for any language to accept strings containing digits
as being regular "words". The hyphenated-word categories are adjusted
similarly.

pointer later on. Per discussion with Greg Stark.

Change initdb and CREATE DATABASE to actively reject attempts to create
...
databases with encodings that are incompatible with the server's LC_CTYPE
locale, when we can determine that (which we can on most modern platforms,
I believe). C/POSIX locale is compatible with all encodings, of course,
so there is still some usefulness to CREATE DATABASE's ENCODING option,
but this will insulate us against all sorts of recurring complaints
caused by mismatched settings.
I moved initdb's existing LC_CTYPE-to-encoding mapping knowledge into
a new src/port/ file so it could be shared by CREATE DATABASE.
