Tom Lane 1ead0208b2 Fix CREATE TABLE ... LIKE ... WITH OIDS.
Having a WITH OIDS specification should result in the creation of an OID
column, but commit b943f502b broke that in the case that there were LIKE
tables without OIDS.  Commentary in that patch makes it look like this was
intentional, but if so it was based on a faulty reading of what inheritance
does: the parent tables can add an OID column, but they can't subtract one.
AFAICS, the behavior ought to be that you get an OID column if any of the
inherited tables, LIKE tables, or WITH clause ask for one.

Also, revert that patch's unnecessary split of transformCreateStmt's loop
over the tableElts list into two passes.  That seems to have been based on
a misunderstanding as well: we already have two-pass processing here,
we don't need three passes.

Per bug #14474 from Jeff Dafoe.  Back-patch to 9.6 where the misbehavior
was introduced.

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:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
