reviewed by Neil Conway. This patch adds the following DDL command
variants: RESET SESSION, RESET TEMP, RESET PLANS, CLOSE ALL, and
DEALLOCATE ALL. RESET SESSION is intended for use by connection
pool software and the like, in order to reset a client session
to something close to its initial state.
Note that while most of these command variants can be executed
inside a transaction block (but are not transaction-aware!),
RESET SESSION cannot. While this is inconsistent, it is intended
to catch programmer mistakes: RESET SESSION in an open transaction
block is probably unintended.
data type is unspecified or is declared to be "unknown", the type will
be inferred from the context in which the parameter is used. This was
already possible for protocol-level prepared statements.
access information about the prepared statements that are available
in the current session. Original patch from Joachim Wieland, various
improvements by Neil Conway.
The "statement" column of the view contains the literal query string
sent by the client, without any rewriting or pretty printing. This
means that prepared statements created via SQL will be prefixed with
"PREPARE ... AS ", whereas those prepared via the FE/BE protocol will
not. That is unfortunate, but discussion on -patches did not yield an
efficient way to improve this, and there is some merit in returning
exactly what the client sent to the backend.
Catalog version bumped, regression tests updated.
