target columns in INSERT and UPDATE targetlists. Don't rely on resname
to be accurate in ruleutils, either. This fixes bug reported by
Donald Fraser, in which renaming a column referenced in a rule did not
work very well.
yet, though). Avoid using nth() to fetch tlist entries; provide a
common routine get_tle_by_resno() to search a tlist for a particular
resno. This replaces a couple uses of nth() and a dozen hand-coded
search loops. Also, replace a few uses of nth(length-1, list) with
llast().
index pages: when _bt_getbuf asks the FSM for a free index page, it is
possible (and, in some cases, even moderately likely) that the answer
will be the same page that _bt_split is trying to split. _bt_getbuf
already knew that the returned page might not be free, but it wasn't
prepared for the possibility that even trying to lock the page could
be problematic. Fix by doing a conditional rather than unconditional
grab of the page lock.

Also, adjust larger/smaller routines (MAX/MIN) to share code with
comparisons for timestamp, interval, timetz.
subplan it starts with, as they may be needed at upper join levels.
See comments added to code for the non-obvious reason why. Per bug report
from Robert Creager.
writing one more value into return arrays than will fit. This is
potentially a stack smash, though I do not think it is a problem in
current uses of the routine, since a failure return causes elog anyway.

when more than six fractional digits were supplied. Per bug report
from Philipp Reisner.

are required in libpq.
that OS=hpux is the same as CPU=hppa. First steps at doing this.
With these patches, we still work on hppa with either gcc or HP's cc.
We might work on hpux/itanium with gcc, but I can't test it. Definitely
will not work on hpux/itanium with non-gcc compiler, for lack of spinlock
code.
float8smaller, float8larger (and thereby the MIN/MAX aggregates on these
datatypes) to agree with the datatypes' comparison operations as
regards NaN handling. In all these datatypes, NaN is arbitrarily
considered larger than any normal value ... but MIN/MAX had not gotten
the word. Per recent discussion on pgsql-sql.
error, if any input element is NULL. This is not what we ultimately want,
but until arrays can have NULL elements, it will have to do. Patch from
Joe Conway.
bottom. Otherwise we fail to moveright when the root page was split while
we were "in flight" to it. This is not a significant problem when the root
is above the leaf level, but if the root was also a leaf (ie, a single-page
index just got split) we may return the wrong leaf page to the caller,
resulting in failure to find a key that is in fact present. Bug has existed
at least since 7.1, probably forever.
CREATE TABLE (or ALTER TABLE SET DEFAULT), rather than postponing it to
the time that the default is inserted into an INSERT command by the
rewriter. This reverses an old decision that was intended to make the
world safe for writing
f1 timestamp default 'now'
but in fact merely made the failure modes subtle rather than obvious.
Per recent trouble report and followup discussion.
initdb forced since there is a chance that stored default expressions
will change.
heuristic determination of day vs month in date/time input. Add the
ability to specify that input is interpreted as yy-mm-dd order (which
formerly worked, but only for yy greater than 31). DateStyle's input
component now has the preferred spellings DMY, MDY, or YMD; the older
keywords European and US are now aliases for the first two of these.
Per recent discussions on pgsql-general.

New items have been added to GucContext and GucSource enums, but of
course they were not added to the corresponding GucContextName[] and
GucSourceName[] arrays in the patch. Here's a new patch to fix the
resulting bugs.
