Tom Lane c6be1f43ab Make INSERT/UPDATE queries depend on their specific target columns.
We have always created a whole-table dependency for the target relation,
but that's not really good enough, as it doesn't prevent scenarios such
as dropping an individual target column or altering its type.  So we
have to create an individual dependency for each target column, as well.

Per report from Bill MacArthur of a rule containing UPDATE breaking
after such an alteration.  Note that this patch doesn't try to make
such cases work, only to ensure that the attempted ALTER TABLE throws
an error telling you it can't cope with adjusting the rule.

This is a long-standing bug, but given the lack of prior reports
I'm not going to risk back-patching it.  A back-patch wouldn't do
anything to fix existing rules' dependency lists, anyway.

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/.
