Fix behavior for an <command>UPDATE</command>
|
||||||
|
or <command>DELETE</command> on an inheritance tree or partitioned
|

table in which every table can be excluded (Amit Langote, Tom Lane)

</para>
|

<para>
|

In such cases, the query did not report the correct set of output
|
||||||
|
columns when a <literal>RETURNING</literal> clause was present, and
|
||||||
|
if there were any statement-level triggers that should be fired, it
|
||||||
|
didn't fire them.

Fix handling of explicit <literal>DEFAULT</literal> items in

an <command>INSERT ... VALUES</command> command with
|

multiple <literal>VALUES</literal> rows, if the target relation is

an updatable view (Amit Langote, Dean Rasheed)
|

</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
When the updatable view has no default for the column but its
|
||||||
|
underlying table has one, a single-row <command>INSERT
|
||||||
|
... VALUES</command> will use the underlying table's default.
|
||||||
|
In the multi-row case, however, NULL was always used. Correct it to
|
||||||
|
act like the single-row case.

Fix <command>CREATE VIEW</command> to allow zero-column views

|
(Ashutosh Sharma)
|

</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
We should allow this for consistency with allowing zero-column
|
||||||
|
tables. Since a table can be converted to a view, zero-column views
|
||||||
|
could be created even with the restriction in place, leading to
|
||||||
|
dump/reload failures.

Add missing support for <command>CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... AS

<para>

The combination of <literal>IF NOT EXISTS</literal>

it.

Ensure that sub-<command>SELECT</command>s appearing in

Previously, if the table having the RLS policy was accessed via a

not as the view owner as they should be.

Previously <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> followed the

SQL:2003 definition, which doesn't allow this. But that creates a

serious problem for dump/restore: there is no setting

of <varname>xmloption</varname> that will accept all valid XML data.
|

Hence, switch to the 2006 definition.

<para>
|

A fix applied in February's minor releases was not sufficiently

generated by a primary server of a previous minor release.
