Tom Lane fba999cb2c Allow ORDER BY/GROUP BY/etc items to match targetlist items regardless of
any implicit casting previously applied to the targetlist item.  This is
reasonable because the implicit cast, by definition, wasn't written by the
user; so we are preserving the expected behavior that ORDER BY items match
textually equivalent tlist items.  The case never arose before because there
couldn't be any implicit casting of a top-level SELECT item before we process
ORDER BY etc.  But now it can arise in the context of aggregates containing
ORDER BY clauses, since the "targetlist" is the already-casted list of
arguments for the aggregate.  The net effect is that the datatype used for
ORDER BY/DISTINCT purposes is the aggregate's declared input type, not that
of the original input column; which is a bit debatable but not horrendous,
and to do otherwise would require major rework that doesn't seem justified.

Per bug #5564 from Daniel Grace.  Back-patch to 9.0 where aggregate ORDER BY
was implemented.

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/.
