Tom Lane 858d1699f2 Provide some rather hokey ways for EXPLAIN to print FieldStore and assignment
ArrayRef expressions that are not in the immediate context of an INSERT or
UPDATE targetlist.  Such cases never arise in stored rules, so ruleutils.c
hadn't tried to handle them.  However, they do occur in the targetlists of
plans derived from such statements, and now that EXPLAIN VERBOSE tries to
print targetlists, we need some way to deal with the case.

I chose to represent an assignment ArrayRef as "array[subscripts] := source",
which is fairly reasonable and doesn't omit any information.  However,
FieldStore is problematic because the planner will fold multiple assignments
to fields of the same composite column into one FieldStore, resulting in a
structure that is hard to understand at all, let alone display comprehensibly.
So in that case I punted and just made it print the source expression(s).

Backpatch to 8.4 --- the lack of functionality exists in older releases,
but doesn't seem to be important for lack of anything that would call it.

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/.
