Fix ALTER SEQUENCE so that it does not affect the value of currval() for

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.
2007-10-24 02:24:49 +00:00

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.

Adjust ts_debug's output as per my proposal of yesterday: show the

active dictionary and its output lexemes as separate columns, instead
of smashing them into one text column, and lowercase the column names.

composite type, to be consistent with the other built-in functions.
