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.
pg_database, pg_shadow, pg_group, all of which now have potentially-long
fields. Along the way, get rid of SharedSystemRelationNames list: shared
rels are now identified in their include/pg_catalog/*.h files by a
BKI_SHARED_RELATION macro, while indexes and toast rels inherit sharedness
automatically from their parent table. Fix some bugs with failure to detoast
pg_group.grolist during ALTER GROUP.
messages more uniform and internationalizable: the global array
aclcheck_error_strings[] is gone in favor of a subroutine
aclcheck_error(). Partial implementation of namespace-related
permission checks --- not all done yet.
divide backend/commands by object type, let's try to pay at least
minimal attention to respecting that structure, eh? Also reorder the
contents of tablecmds.c; it seems odd to me to put ALTER commands before
creation/deletion commands.
per pghackers discussion. Add some more typsanity tests, and clean
up some problems exposed thereby (broken or missing array types for
some built-in types). Also, clean up loose ends from unknownin/out
patch.

1) Wrong translations of embedded escape sequences inside outer join escape
sequences.
2) Wrong translation of parameter markers inside outer joins and function
escape sequences.
3) Bad concatenation of date, time, timestamp constants with next word in
statement:
mysteriously disappearing.
ie. \d+ will only ever show the comment for the current database --
which is appropriate since it can only pull comments from the current
database.
Won't break pgadmin functionality as it enforces this behaviour already.
I didn't find any regression tests for COMMENT.

left a stub for a future "ALTER RULE RENAME" but did not write that one
yet. Bruce, if you want to add my name for for that I'll take it and do
it later.

default values using ALTER TABLE, on both views and tables.
(You'll need to apply the default-values-for-views patch that I sent
to -patches earlier for the regression tests to pass.)

postgres command line utilites e.g. supports -U, -p, -h, -?, -v, password
prompt and has a "test mode". In test mode, no large objects are removed,
just reported.

Apparently, you need to make two calls to appendPQExpBuffer() to
use fmtId() twice, because it uses a static buffer (thanks for
spotting this Tom).
Another revision of the patch is attached.

The attached patch allows views to have default values. You can't
specify a default value within a CREATE VIEW statement, it must be
done using ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN ... SET DEFAULT after the
view has already been created. Most of the hard work was done by
Tom Lane, I just patched pg_dump and updated the documentation.

objections.
Major changes:
- removed cursor wrap around input sql to allow for remote
execution of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
- dblink now returns a resource id instead of a real pointer
- added several utility functions
I'm still hoping to add explicit cursor open/fetch/close support before
7.3 is released, but I need a bit more time on that.
On a somewhat unrelated topic, I never got any feedback on the
unknownin/out patch and the mb_substring patch. Is there anything else I
need to do to get those applied?
