silently ignored, allowing one to write bizarre things like
DECLARE x setof int;
in plpgsql. This has misled at least one novice into thinking that
plpgsql variables could be sets ...
thought there couldn't be any, but the folly of this was exposed by an
example from andrew@supernews.com 5-Dec-2004. The patch applies the
identical logic already used for table constraints and defaults to ON
SELECT rules, so I have reasonable confidence in it even though it might
look like complicated logic.
be emitted too soon. The previous code got this right in the case where
the CHECK was emitted as a separate ALTER TABLE command, but not in the
case where the CHECK is emitted right in CREATE TABLE. Per report from
Slawomir Sudnik.
Note: this code is pretty ugly; it'd perhaps be better to treat comments
as independently sortable dump objects. That'd be much too invasive a
change for RC time though.

PREPARE case per example from Michael Fuhr, EXPLAIN case located by

(rd_att) field of a nailed-in-cache relcache entry. This fixes the bug
reported by Alvaro 8-Dec-2004; I believe it probably also explains
Grant Finnemore's report of 10-Sep-2004.
In an unrelated change in the same file, put back 7.4's response to
failure to rename() the relcache init file, ie, unlink the useless
temp file. I did not put back the warning message, since there might
actually be some reason not to have that.
of an inheritance child table is binary-compatible with the rowtype of
its parent, invent an expression node type that does the conversion
correctly. Fixes the new bug exhibited by Kris Shannon as well as a
lot of old bugs that would only show up when using multiple inheritance
or after altering the parent table.
better make sure the sort order is totally specified; else we get burnt
by platform-specific behavior of qsort() with equal keys. Per buildfarm

is null-terminated. I think this is not a real bug because the parser
would always have truncated the identifier to NAMEDATALEN-1 already,
but let's be safe. Per report from Klocwork.

Great.
A follow-up patch for current CVS HEAD is attached, and available at
http://troels.arvin.dk/db/pgsql/conformance/pgsql-sql-conformance-
followup.patch
The patch
- includes a core feature ID that had been left
out by mistake (C011)
- updates the sql_feature_packages.txt table to
reflect changes in SQL:2003 which were not
covered properly in my last patch

the "ps" argument list on Unix - meaning that there is no way to
identify for example the stats processors or the bgwriter.
This patch adds this functionality, in a bit of a crufty way. It creates
a kernel Event object with the name of what would be in the title. This
can be viewed using for example Process Explorer.
It's been very handy for me during both debugging and using. I haven't
figured a better way, but perhaps someone has one that's less crufty? If
not, here is at least a working patch :-)

reasons I outlined in pghackers a few days ago.
Also, undo someone's overly optimistic decision to reduce tuple state
checks from if (...) elog() to Asserts. If I trusted this code more,
I might think it was a good idea to disable these checks in production
installations. But I don't.
