before comparison; if fields being joined are different widths then hashing
will yield wrong answer. Also, remove hashjoinable mark from all uses of
array_eq, because array structures may have padding bytes between elements
and the pad bytes are of uncertain content. This could be revisited if
array code is cleaned up.
Modify opr_sanity regress test to complain if array_eq operator is marked
hashjoinable.
optimizer rather than parser. This has many advantages, such as not
getting fooled by chance uses of operator names ~ and ~~ (the operators
are identified by OID now), and not creating useless comparison operations
in contexts where the comparisons will not actually be used as indexquals.
The new code also recognizes exact-match LIKE and regex patterns, and
produces an = indexqual instead of >= and <=.
This change does NOT fix the problem with non-ASCII locales: the code
still doesn't know how to generate an upper bound indexqual for non-ASCII
collation order. But it's no worse than before, just the same deficiency
in a different place...
Also, dike out loc_restrictinfo fields in Plan nodes. These were doing
nothing useful in the absence of 'expensive functions' optimization,
and they took a considerable amount of processing to fill in.
hashjoin's hashFunc() so that it does the right thing with pass-by-value
data types (the old code would always return 0 for int2 or char values,
which would work but would slow things down a lot). Extend opr_sanity
regress test to catch more kinds of errors.
and pg_operator. The lone error in pg_operator was reported as a bug
by Michael Reifenberger; the multiple errors in pg_proc would only have
been noticed if one invoked the functions by name rather than using
operator syntax. I guess few people do that.
oprlsortop and oprrsortop links. There's still a bug involving
conflicting definitions for point @ path, but I'm not taking
responsibility for deciding which one is right...
no longer returns buffer pointer, can be gotten from scan;
descriptor; bootstrap can create multi-key indexes;
pg_procname index now is multi-key index; oidint2, oidint4, oidname
are gone (must be removed from regression tests); use System Cache
rather than sequential scan in many places; heap_modifytuple no
longer takes buffer parameter; remove unused buffer parameter in
a few other functions; oid8 is not index-able; remove some use of
single-character variable names; cleanup Buffer variables usage
and scan descriptor looping; cleaned up allocation and freeing of
tuples; 18k lines of diff;
1. Remove the char2, char4, char8 and char16 types from postgresql
2. Change references of char16 to name in the regression tests.
3. Rename the char16.sql regression test to name.sql. 4. Modify
the regression test scripts and outputs to match up.
Might require new regression.{SYSTEM} files...

Patch1:
Postgres thinks dist_pl (dist of a point to a line) is expecting a box (603)
for the right arg, but it really should be a line (628).
Otherwise the left & right args match those of dist_pb (dist of a point to a
box) two lines further down.
Patch2:
Anyways, these two functions take a path (602) whereas in pg_proc.h they are
listed as taking a lseg (601).
Define functions and operators for closest point to lseg on box,
to line on lseg, to lseg on lseg.
Define function and operator for length of lseg.
Change length operator from '??' to '@-@'
(currently defined for path and lseg).
Don't know why these few were not already this way, and don't know if
there is some hidden problem with this, but assume it was done
accidentally as entries were copied from other operators.
Regression tests are OK, but...
Move one block of declaration source to keep OIDs in increasing order.
Did not change OID values, just moved source code.
Include some additional path functions which were coded but omitted here.
Add translation and rotation/scaling operators for some geometric types.
Fix bugs in some geometry comparison operator declarations.
