Tom Lane 9f376e146b Ensure an index that uses a whole-row Var still depends on its table. We failed to record any dependency on the underlying table for an index declared like "create index i on t (foo(t.*))". This would create trouble if the table were dropped without previously dropping the index. To fix, simplify some overly-cute code in index_create(), accepting the possibility that sometimes the whole-table dependency will be redundant. Also document this hazard in dependency.c. Per report from Kevin Grittner. In passing, prevent a core dump in pg_get_indexdef() if the index's table can't be found. I came across this while experimenting with Kevin's example. Not sure it's a real issue when the catalogs aren't corrupt, but might as well be cautious. Back-patch to all supported versions.		2010-11-02 17:15:07 -04:00

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/.
