named foo, would work but the other ordering would not. If a user-specified
type or table name collides with an existing auto-generated array name, just
rename the array type out of the way by prepending more underscores. This
should not create any backward-compatibility issues, since the cases in which
this will happen would have failed outright in prior releases.
Also fix an oversight in the arrays-of-composites patch: ALTER TABLE RENAME
renamed the table's rowtype but not its array type.
needs to check the new constraint against columns of derived domains too.
Also, make it error out if the domain to be modified is used within any
composite-type columns. Eventually we should support that case, but it seems
a bit painful, and not suitable for a back-patch. For the moment just let the
user know we can't do it.
Backpatch to 8.2, which is the only released version that allows nested
domains. Possibly the other part should be back-patched further.
and views (but not system catalogs, nor sequences or toast tables). Get rid
of the hardwired convention that a type's array type is named exactly "_type",
instead using a new column pg_type.typarray to provide the linkage. (It still
will be named "_type", though, except in odd corner cases such as
maximum-length type names.)
Along the way, make tracking of owner and schema dependencies for types more
uniform: a type directly created by the user has these dependencies, while a
table rowtype or auto-generated array type does not have them, but depends on
its parent object instead.

this will stop people from being confused, but at least we can say that
it's documented.

RESET SESSION, RESET PLANS, and RESET TEMP are now DISCARD ALL,
DISCARD PLANS, and DISCARD TEMP, respectively. This is to avoid
confusion with the pre-existing RESET variants: the DISCARD
commands are not actually similar to RESET. Patch from Marko
Kreen, with some minor editorialization.
This is needed to allow a security-definer function to set a truly secure
value of search_path. Without it, a malicious user can use temporary objects
to execute code with the privileges of the security-definer function. Even
pushing the temp schema to the back of the search path is not quite good
enough, because a function or operator at the back of the path might still
capture control from one nearer the front due to having a more exact datatype
match. Hence, disable searching the temp schema altogether for functions and
operators.
