Tom Lane 09b3d27256 Allow record_in() and record_recv() to work for transient record types.
If we have the typmod that identifies a registered record type, there's no
reason that record_in() should refuse to perform input conversion for it.
Now, in direct SQL usage, record_in() will always be passed typmod = -1
with type OID RECORDOID, because no typmodin exists for type RECORD, so the
case can't arise.  However, some InputFunctionCall users such as PLs may be
able to supply the right typmod, so we should allow this to support them.

Note: the previous coding and comment here predate commit 59c016aa9f.
There has been no case since 8.1 in which the passed type OID wouldn't be
valid; and if it weren't, this error message wouldn't be apropos anyway.
Better to let lookup_rowtype_tupdesc complain about it.

Back-patch to 9.1, as this is necessary for my upcoming plpython fix.
I'm committing it separately just to make it a bit more visible in the
commit history.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
