Donald Fraser, in which renaming a column referenced in a rule did not
work very well.
writing one more value into return arrays than will fit. This is
potentially a stack smash, though I do not think it is a problem in
current uses of the routine, since a failure return causes elog anyway.

New items have been added to GucContext and GucSource enums, but of
course they were not added to the corresponding GucContextName[] and
GucSourceName[] arrays in the patch. Here's a new patch to fix the
resulting bugs.

This version has the seven fields I proposed, including "source". Here's
an example that shows why I think it's valuable:
regression=# \x
Expanded display is on.
regression=# select * from pg_settings where name = 'enable_seqscan';
-[ RECORD 1 ]-----------
name | enable_seqscan
setting | on
context | user
vartype | bool
source | default
min_val |
max_val |
regression=# update pg_settings set setting = 'off' where name =
'enable_seqscan';
-[ RECORD 1 ]---
set_config | off
regression=# select * from pg_settings where name = 'enable_seqscan';
-[ RECORD 1 ]-----------
name | enable_seqscan
setting | off
context | user
vartype | bool
source | session
min_val |
max_val |
regression=# alter user postgres set enable_seqscan to 'off';
ALTER USER
(log out and then back in again)
regression=# \x
Expanded display is on.
regression=# select * from pg_settings where name = 'enable_seqscan';
-[ RECORD 1 ]-----------
name | enable_seqscan
setting | off
context | user
vartype | bool
source | user
min_val |
max_val |
In the first case, enable_seqscan is set to its default value. After
setting it to off, it is obvious that the value has been changed for the
session only. In the third case, you can see that the value has been set
specifically for the user.

It also works to create a non-polymorphic aggregate from polymorphic

comparison functions), replacing the highly bogus bitwise array_eq. Create
a btree index opclass for ANYARRAY --- it is now possible to create indexes
on array columns.
Arrange to cache the results of catalog lookups across multiple array
operations, instead of repeating the lookups on every call.
Add string_to_array and array_to_string functions.
Remove singleton_array, array_accum, array_assign, and array_subscript
functions, since these were for proof-of-concept and not intended to become
supported functions.
Minor adjustments to behavior in some corner cases with empty or
zero-dimensional arrays.

Regression tests for IPv6 operations added.
Documentation updated to document IPv6 bits.
Stop treating IPv4 as an "unsigned int" and IPv6 as an array of
characters. Instead, always use the array of characters so we
can have one function fits all. This makes bitncmp(), addressOK(),
and several other functions "just work" on both address families.
add family() function which returns integer 4 or 6 for IPv4 or
IPv6. (See examples below) Note that to add this new function
you will need to dump/initdb/reload or find the correct magic
to add the function to the postgresql function catalogs.
IPv4 addresses always sort before IPv6.
On disk we use AF_INET for IPv4, and AF_INET+1 for IPv6 addresses.
This prevents the need for a dump and reload, but lets IPv6 parsing
work on machines without AF_INET6.
To select all IPv4 addresses from a table:
select * from foo where family(addr) = 4 ...
Order by and other bits should all work.

specific hash functions used by hash indexes, rather than the old
not-datatype-aware ComputeHashFunc routine. This makes it safe to do
hash joining on several datatypes that previously couldn't use hashing.
The sets of datatypes that are hash indexable and hash joinable are now
exactly the same, whereas before each had some that weren't in the other.

puts these data structures into static memory, thus saving a few CPU
cycles and two malloc calls per transaction or (in isolation level

of an index can now be a computed expression instead of a simple variable.
Restrictions on expressions are the same as for predicates (only immutable
functions, no sub-selects). This fixes problems recently introduced with
inlining SQL functions, because the inlining transformation is applied to
both expression trees so the planner can still match them up. Along the
way, improve efficiency of handling index predicates (both predicates and
index expressions are now cached by the relcache) and fix 7.3 oversight
that didn't record dependencies of predicate expressions.
