Tom Lane 52fc0075ab Avoid a premature coercion failure in transformSetOperationTree() when
presented with an UNKNOWN-type Var, which can happen in cases where an
unknown literal appeared in a subquery.  While many such cases will fail
later on anyway in the planner, there are some cases where the planner is
able to flatten the query and replace the Var by the constant before it has
to coerce the union column to the final type.  I had added this check in 8.4
to provide earlier/better error detection, but it causes a regression for
some cases that worked OK before.  Fix by not making the check if the input
node is UNKNOWN type and not a Const or Param.  If it isn't going to work,
it will fail anyway at plan time, with the only real loss being inability to
provide an error cursor.  Per gripe from Britt Piehler.

In passing, rename a couple of variables to remove confusion from an
inner scope masking the same variable names in an outer scope.

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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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/.
