several reports of users being confused when they attempt to use ELSEIF
and run into trouble due to PL/PgSQL's lax parser. The parser will be
improved for 8.1, but we can fix most of the problem by allowing ELSEIF
for now.
silently ignored, allowing one to write bizarre things like
DECLARE x setof int;
in plpgsql. This has misled at least one novice into thinking that
plpgsql variables could be sets ...
thought there couldn't be any, but the folly of this was exposed by an
example from andrew@supernews.com 5-Dec-2004. The patch applies the
identical logic already used for table constraints and defaults to ON
SELECT rules, so I have reasonable confidence in it even though it might
look like complicated logic.
be emitted too soon. The previous code got this right in the case where
the CHECK was emitted as a separate ALTER TABLE command, but not in the
case where the CHECK is emitted right in CREATE TABLE. Per report from
Slawomir Sudnik.
Note: this code is pretty ugly; it'd perhaps be better to treat comments
as independently sortable dump objects. That'd be much too invasive a
change for RC time though.
had to do in DECLARE CURSOR. AFAICS these are all the places affected.
PREPARE case per example from Michael Fuhr, EXPLAIN case located by
grepping for planner calls ...
(rd_att) field of a nailed-in-cache relcache entry. This fixes the bug
reported by Alvaro 8-Dec-2004; I believe it probably also explains
Grant Finnemore's report of 10-Sep-2004.
In an unrelated change in the same file, put back 7.4's response to
failure to rename() the relcache init file, ie, unlink the useless
temp file. I did not put back the warning message, since there might
actually be some reason not to have that.
of an inheritance child table is binary-compatible with the rowtype of
its parent, invent an expression node type that does the conversion
correctly. Fixes the new bug exhibited by Kris Shannon as well as a
lot of old bugs that would only show up when using multiple inheritance
or after altering the parent table.
better make sure the sort order is totally specified; else we get burnt
by platform-specific behavior of qsort() with equal keys. Per buildfarm
results.
is null-terminated. I think this is not a real bug because the parser
would always have truncated the identifier to NAMEDATALEN-1 already,
but let's be safe. Per report from Klocwork.
