copying into a fixed-size buffer (in this case, a buffer of
NAMEDATALEN bytes). AFAICT nothing to worry about here, but worth
fixing anyway...

latent wrong-struct-type bugs and makes the coding style more uniform,
since the majority of places working with lists of column names were
already using Strings not Idents. While at it, remove vestigial
support for Stream node type, and otherwise-unreferenced nodes.h entries
for T_TupleCount and T_BaseNode.
NB: full recompile is recommended due to changes of Node type numbers.
This shouldn't force an initdb though.
code review by Tom Lane. Remaining issues: functions that take or
return tuple types are likely to break if one drops (or adds!)
a column in the table defining the type. Need to think about what
to do here.
Along the way: some code review for recent COPY changes; mark system
columns attnotnull = true where appropriate, per discussion a month ago.
pg_relcheck is gone; CHECK, UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY, and FOREIGN KEY
constraints all have real live entries in pg_constraint. pg_depend
exists, and RESTRICT/CASCADE options work on most kinds of DROP;
however, pg_depend is not yet very well populated with dependencies.
(Most of the ones that are present at this point just replace formerly
hardwired associations, such as the implicit drop of a relation's pg_type
entry when the relation is dropped.) Need to add more logic to create
dependency entries, improve pg_dump to dump constraints in place of
indexes and triggers, and add some regression tests.
applied when the select is a UNION (or other set-operation).
An alternative route to a fix would be to leave analyze.c alone and
change plan_set_operations in prepunion.c to take column names from
the topmost targetlist. But I am not sure that would work in all
cases. This patch seems the minimum-risk fix.
some kibitzing from Tom Lane. Not everything works yet, and there's
no documentation or regression test, but let's commit this so Joe
doesn't need to cope with tracking changes in so many files ...
lists to join RTEs, attach a list of Vars and COALESCE expressions that will
replace the join's alias variables during planning. This simplifies
flatten_join_alias_vars while still making it easy to fix up varno references
when transforming the query tree. Add regression test cases for interactions
of subqueries with outer joins.
BAD: INSERT INTO tab (col1, col2) VALUES ('val1');
GOOD: INSERT INTO tab (col1, col2) VALUES ('val1', 'val2');
Regress tests against DEFAULT and normal values as they're managed
slightly different.

an 'opclass owner' column in pg_opclass. Nothing is done with it at
present, but since there are plans to invent a CREATE OPERATOR CLASS
command soon, we'll probably want DROP OPERATOR CLASS too, which
suggests that a notion of ownership would be a good idea.
qualified operator names directly, for example CREATE OPERATOR myschema.+
( ... ). To qualify an operator name in an expression you need to write
OPERATOR(myschema.+) (thanks to Peter for suggesting an escape hatch).
I also took advantage of having to reformat pg_operator to fix something
that'd been bugging me for a while: mergejoinable operators should have
explicit links to the associated cross-data-type comparison operators,
rather than hardwiring an assumption that they are named < and >.
in schemas other than the system namespace; however, there's no search
path yet, and not all operations work yet on tables outside the system
namespace.
addRangeTableEntry calls. Remove relname field from RTEs, since
it will no longer be a useful unique identifier of relations;
we want to encourage people to rely on the relation OID instead.
Further work on dumping qual expressions in EXPLAIN, too.
the parsetree representation. As yet we don't *do* anything with schema
names, just drop 'em on the floor; but you can enter schema-compatible
command syntax, and there's even a primitive CREATE SCHEMA command.
No doc updates yet, except to note that you can now extract a field
from a function-returning-row's result with (foo(...)).fieldname.
now has an RTE of its own, and references to its outputs now are Vars
referencing the JOIN RTE, rather than CASE-expressions. This allows
reverse-listing in ruleutils.c to use the correct alias easily, rather
than painfully reverse-engineering the alias namespace as it used to do.
Also, nested FULL JOINs work correctly, because the result of the inner
joins are simple Vars that the planner can cope with. This fixes a bug
reported a couple times now, notably by Tatsuo on 18-Nov-01. The alias
Vars are expanded into COALESCE expressions where needed at the very end
of planning, rather than during parsing.
Also, beginnings of support for showing plan qualifier expressions in
EXPLAIN. There are probably still cases that need work.
initdb forced due to change of stored-rule representation.
o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going
to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will
see below.
o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by
client_min_messages to NOTICE.
o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc.
to always go to the client.
o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE.
Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various
behaviors we need for these messages.
Regression passed.
now just below FATAL in server_min_messages. Added more text to
highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
REALLYFATAL => PANIC
STOP => PANIC
New INFO level the prints to client by default
New LOG level the prints to server log by default
Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client
NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent
DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages
DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible
DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added
DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols
New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC
New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC
Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG
Remove debug_level GUC parameter
elog() numbers now start at 10
Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog()
Bootstrap mode now has a -d that requires an argument, like postmaster
report for each received SQL command, regardless of rewriting activity.
Also ensure that this report comes from the 'original' command, not the
last command generated by rewrite; this fixes 7.2 breakage for INSERT
commands that have actions added by rules. Fernando Nasser and Tom Lane.
by making the static variables extra_before and extra_after
automatic so we can use recursion.
It gets much easier to generate extra commands now, and one can rest
assured that the extra commands will be properly analyzed/rewritten.
Without this patch, if a command produced by transformation tries to
use these static lists their first contents would be lost with
unpredictable results. I know I could fix this by just using nconc()
instead of assignments, but the resulting order of the commands would
not be exactly what one could expect.

Disallow CREATE INDEX on system catalogs, non-tables (views, sequences, etc).
Disallow CREATE/DROP TRIGGER on system catalogs, non-tables.
Disallow ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP CONSTRAINT on system catalogs.
Disallow FOREIGN KEY reference to non-table.
None of these things can actually work in the present system structure,
but the code was letting them pass without complaint.
bpchar, bit, numeric with typmod -1. Alter format_type so that this
representation is printed when the typmod is -1. This ensures that
tables having such columns can be pg_dump'd and reloaded correctly.
Also, remove the rather useless and non-SQL-compliant default
precision and scale for type NUMERIC. A numeric column declared as
such (with no precision/scale) will now have typmod -1 which means
that numeric values of any precision/scale can be stored in it,
without conversion to a uniform scale. This seems significantly
more useful than the former behavior. Part of response to bug #513.
to the target list in gram.y; it must wait till after expansion of the
target list in analyze.c. Per bug report 4-Nov:
lx=# CREATE TABLE abc (a char, b char, c char);
CREATE
lx=# CREATE TABLE xyz (x, y, z) AS SELECT * FROM abc;
ERROR: CREATE TABLE/AS SELECT has mismatched column count
analysis. This keeps stored rules from prematurely absorbing default
information, which is necessary for ALTER TABLE SET DEFAULT to work
unsurprisingly with rules. See pgsql-bugs discussion 24-Oct-01.
transformAlterStmt() use these routines, instead of having lots of
duplicate (not to mention should-have-been-duplicate) code.
Adding a column with a CHECK constraint actually works now,
and the tests to reject unsupported DEFAULT and NOT NULL clauses
actually fire now. ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY works, modulo
having to have created the column(s) NOT NULL already.
'aggname (aggtype)'. The old syntax 'aggname aggtype' is still accepted
for backwards compatibility. Fix pg_dump, which was actually broken for
most cases of user-defined aggregates. Clean up error messages associated
with these commands.
time zones.
SQL99 spec requires a default of zero (round to seconds) which is set
in gram.y as typmod is set in the parse tree. We *could* change to a
default of either 6 (for internal compatibility with previous versions)
or 2 (for external compatibility with previous versions).
Evaluate entries in pg_proc wrt the iscachable attribute for timestamp and
other date/time types. Try to recognize cases where side effects like the
current time zone setting may have an effect on results to decide whether
something is cachable or not.
table creation time. Big deal you say - but this patch is the basis of the
next thing which is adding PRIMARY KEYs after table creation time. (Which
is currently impossible without twiddling catalogs)

-------
* I have made the makeObjectName function of analyze.c non-static, and
exported it in analyze.h
* I have included analyze.h and defrem.h into command.c, to support
makingObjectNames and creating indices
* I removed the 'case CONSTR_PRIMARY' clause so that it properly fails and
says you can't add primary keys, rather than just doing nothing and
reporting nothing!!!
* I have modified the docs.
Algorithm
---------
* If name specified is null, search for a new valid constraint name. I'm
not sure if I should "lock" my generated name somehow tho - should I open
the relation before doing this step?
* Open relation in access exclusive mode
* Check that the constraint does not already exist
* Define the new index
* Warn if they're doubling up on an existing index

pgsql-hackers. pg_opclass now has a row for each opclass supported by each
index AM, not a row for each opclass name. This allows pg_opclass to show
directly whether an AM supports an opclass, and furthermore makes it possible
to store additional information about an opclass that might be AM-dependent.
pg_opclass and pg_amop now store "lossy" and "haskeytype" information that we
previously expected the user to remember to provide in CREATE INDEX commands.
Lossiness is no longer an index-level property, but is associated with the
use of a particular operator in a particular index opclass.
Along the way, IndexSupportInitialize now uses the syscaches to retrieve
pg_amop and pg_amproc entries. I find this reduces backend launch time by
about ten percent, at the cost of a couple more special cases in catcache.c's
IndexScanOK.
Initial work by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, further hacking by Tom Lane.
initdb forced.
has an alias SERIAL4 and a sister SERIAL8. SERIAL8 is just the same
except the created column is type int8 not int4.
initdb forced. Note this also breaks any chance of pg_upgrade from 7.1,
unless we hack up pg_upgrade to drop and recreate sequences. (Which is
not out of the question, but I don't wanna do it.)
