Tom Lane df87074092 Improve conversion of legacy CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER representation of
foreign keys, one more time.  Insist on matching up all three triggers before
we create a constraint; this will avoid creation of duplicate constraints
in scenarios where a broken FK constraint was repaired by re-adding the
constraint without removing the old partial trigger set.  Basically, this will
work nicely in all cases where the FK was actually functioning correctly in
the database that was dumped.  It will fail to restore an FK in just one case
where we theoretically could restore it: where we find the referenced table's
triggers and not the referencing table's trigger.  However, in such a scenario
it's likely that the user doesn't even realize he still has an FK at all
(since the more-likely-to-fail cases aren't enforced), and we'd probably not
accomplish much except to cause the reload to fail because the data doesn't
meet the FK constraint.  Also make the NOTICE logging still more verbose, by
adding detail about which of the triggers were found.  This seems about all
we can do without solving the problem of getting the user's attention at
session end.

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 including some of the more
common listed below:

C++ - http://thaiopensource.org/development/libpqxx/
JDBC - http://jdbc.postgresql.org
ODBC - http://odbc.postgresql.org
Perl - http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/
PHP - http://www.php.net
Python - http://www.initd.org/
Ruby - http://ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/

Other language binding are available from a variety of contributing
parties.

PostgreSQL also has a great number of procedural languages available,
a short but not complete list is below:

PL/pgSQL - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/Perl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/PHP - http://projects.commandprompt.com/projects/public/plphp
PL/Python - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/Java - http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pljava/projdisplay.php
PL/Tcl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution

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/.
