Tom Lane d97c9b3662 Apply fixes for problems with dropped columns whose types have also been
dropped.  The simplest fix for INSERT/UPDATE cases turns out to be for
preptlist.c to insert NULLs of a known-good type (I used INT4) rather
than making them match the deleted column's type.  Since the representation
of NULL is actually datatype-independent, this should work fine.
I also re-reverted the patch to disable the use_physical_tlist optimization
in the presence of dropped columns.  It still doesn't look worth the
trouble to be smarter, if there are no other bugs to fix.
Added a regression test to catch future problems in this area.

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 several language
bindings, including C, Perl, Python, and Tcl, as well as a JDBC
driver.

The ODBC and C++ interfaces have been moved to the PostgreSQL Projects
Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate maintenance.

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