before. Also reduce tuple chain move give-up messages from WARNING
to DEBUG1, since they are not unexpected conditions.
all utility statement types *except* a short list, per discussion a few
days ago. Add missing SetQuerySnapshot calls in VACUUM and REINDEX,
and guard against calling REINDEX DATABASE from a function (has same
problem as VACUUM).

All right, this is it. This patch merely checks if child tables have
the column. If atttypid and atttypmod are the same, the attributes'
attinhcount is incremented; else the operation is aborted. If child
tables don't have the column, recursively add it.
attislocal is not touched in any case.

query that uses it. This ensures that triggers will be applied consistently
throughout a query even if someone commits changes to the relation's
pg_class.reltriggers field meanwhile. Per crash report from Laurette Cisneros.
While at it, simplify memory management in relcache.c, which no longer
needs the old hack to try to keep trigger info in the same place over
a relcache entry rebuild. (Should try to fix rd_att and rewrite-rule
access similarly, someday.) And make RelationBuildTriggers simpler and
more robust by making it build the trigdesc in working memory and then
CopyTriggerDesc() into cache memory.
ANALYZE is not quite clear when branches of the query are never
executed. So this tiny patch fixes that.

discussion some weeks ago. Also, add a check that two types to be
binary-equivalenced match as to typlen, typbyval, and typalign; if
they don't then it's surely a mistake to equivalence them.
Vacuum must not advance pg_database.datvacuumxid nor truncate CLOG
unless it's processed *all* tables in the database. Vacuums run by
unprivileged users don't count.
(Beats head against nearest convenient wall...)
executor should not return the tuple as successfully marked, because in
fact it's been deleted. Not clear that this case has ever been seen
in practice (I think you'd have to write a SELECT FOR UPDATE that calls
a function that deletes some row the SELECT will visit later...) but we
should be consistent. Also add comments to several other places that
got it right but didn't explain what they were doing.
parse analysis and into the execution code (in tablecmds.c). This
eliminates a lot of unreasonably complex code that needed to have two
or more execution paths in case it was dealing with a not-yet-created
table column vs. an already-existing one. The execution code is always
dealing with already-created tables and so needs only one case. This
also eliminates some potential race conditions (the table wasn't locked
between parse analysis and execution), makes it easy to fix the gripe
about wrong referenced-column names generating a misleading error message,
and lets us easily add a dependency from the foreign-key constraint to
the unique index that it requires the referenced table to have. (Cf.
complaint from Kris Jurka 12-Sep-2002 on pgsql-bugs.)
Also, third try at building a deletion mechanism that is not sensitive
to the order in which pg_depend entries are visited. Adding the above-
mentioned dependency exposed the folly of what dependency.c had been
doing: it failed for cases where B depends on C while both auto-depend
on A. Dropping A should succeed in this case, but was failing if C
happened to be visited before B. It appears the only solution is two
separate walks over the dependency tree.
with OPAQUE. CREATE LANGUAGE, CREATE TRIGGER, and CREATE TYPE will all
accept references to functions declared with OPAQUE --- but they will
issue a NOTICE, and will modify the function entries in pg_proc to have
the preferred type-safe argument or result types instead of OPAQUE.
Per recent pghackers discussions.

Ok, fair enough. It's worth noting that they've been broken for a
while -- for example, the HashJoin counter increments were broken when
you comitted r1.20 of executor/nodeHashJoin.c in May of '99.
I've attached a revised patch that doesn't remove the counters (but
doesn't increment them either: I'm not sure of all the places where
the counter should be incremented).

composite types. Add a couple more lsyscache.c routines to support this,
and make use of them in some other places that were doing lookups the
hard way.
ruleutils display is not such a great idea. For arguments of functions
and operators I think we'd better keep the historical behavior of showing
such casts explicitly, to ensure that the function/operator is reparsed
the same way when the rule is reloaded. This also makes the output of
EXPLAIN less obscurantist about exactly what's happening.
to be flexible about assignment casts without introducing ambiguity in
operator/function resolution. Introduce a well-defined promotion hierarchy
for numeric datatypes (int2->int4->int8->numeric->float4->float8).
Change make_const to initially label numeric literals as int4, int8, or
numeric (never float8 anymore).
Explicitly mark Func and RelabelType nodes to indicate whether they came
from a function call, explicit cast, or implicit cast; use this to do
reverse-listing more accurately and without so many heuristics.
Explicit casts to char, varchar, bit, varbit will truncate or pad without
raising an error (the pre-7.2 behavior), while assigning to a column without
any explicit cast will still raise an error for wrong-length data like 7.3.
This more nearly follows the SQL spec than 7.2 behavior (we should be
reporting a 'completion condition' in the explicit-cast cases, but we have
no mechanism for that, so just do silent truncation).
Fix some problems with enforcement of typmod for array elements;
it didn't work at all in 'UPDATE ... SET array[n] = foo', for example.
Provide a generalized array_length_coerce() function to replace the
specialized per-array-type functions that used to be needed (and were
missing for NUMERIC as well as all the datetime types).
Add missing conversions int8<->float4, text<->numeric, oid<->int8.
initdb forced.
(notify/SI-overrun interrupt) while it is in process of doing proc_exit,
it is possible for Async_NotifyHandler() to try to start a transaction
when one is already running. This leads to Asserts() or worse. I think
it may only be possible to occur when frontend synchronization is lost
(ie, the elog(FATAL) in SocketBackend() fires), but that is a standard
occurrence after error during COPY. In any case, I have seen this
failure occur during regression tests, so it is definitely possible.
never been the correct procedure for locking a relation, and the
recently-found ALTER TABLE bug with adding a constraint and a toast
table in the same command shows why it's a bad idea.
creation to world, but disallow temp table creation in template1. Per
latest round of pghackers discussion.
I did not force initdb, but the permissions lockdown on template1 will
not take effect unless you do one (or manually REVOKE TEMP ON DATABASE template1 FROM public).
(overlaying low byte of page size) and add HEAP_HASOID bit to t_infomask,
per earlier discussion. Simplify scheme for overlaying fields in tuple
header (no need for cmax to live in more than one place). Don't try to
clear infomask status bits in tqual.c --- not safe to do it there. Don't
try to force output table of a SELECT INTO to have OIDs, either. Get rid
of unnecessarily complex three-state scheme for TupleDesc.tdhasoids, which
has already caused one recent failure. Improve documentation.
