Tom Lane fd2664dcb7 Rationalize and document pltcl's handling of magic ".tupno" array element.
For a very long time, pltcl's spi_exec and spi_execp commands have had
a behavior of storing the current row number as an element of output
arrays, but this was never documented.  Fix that.

For an equally long time, pltcl_trigger_handler had a behavior of silently
ignoring ".tupno" as an output column name, evidently so that the result
of spi_exec could be used directly as a trigger result tuple.  Not sure
how useful that really is, but in any case it's bad that it would break
attempts to use ".tupno" as an actual column name.  We can fix it by not
checking for ".tupno" until after we check for a column name match.  This
comports with the effective behavior of spi_exec[p] that ".tupno" is only
magic when you don't have an actual column named that.

In passing, wordsmith the description of returning modified tuples from
a pltcl trigger.

Noted while working on Jim Nasby's patch to support composite results
from pltcl.  The inability to return trigger tuples using ".tupno" as
a column name is a bug, so back-patch to all supported branches.

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.  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
