The July 9th Table Function API patch mentioned above is now in CVS, so
here is an updated version of the guc patch which should apply cleanly
against CVS tip.

bitmap, if present).
Per Tom Lane's suggestion the information whether a tuple has an oid
or not is carried in the tuple descriptor. For debugging reasons
tdhasoid is of type char, not bool. There are predefined values for
WITHOID, WITHOUTOID and UNDEFOID.
This patch has been generated against a cvs snapshot from last week
and I don't expect it to apply cleanly to current sources. While I
post it here for public review, I'm working on a new version against a
current snapshot. (There's been heavy activity recently; hope to
catch up some day ...)
This is a long patch; if it is too hard to swallow, I can provide it
in smaller pieces:
Part 1: Accessor macros
Part 2: tdhasoid in TupDesc
Part 3: Regression test
Part 4: Parameter withoid to heap_addheader
Part 5: Eliminate t_oid from HeapTupleHeader
Part 2 is the most hairy part because of changes in the executor and
even in the parser; the other parts are straightforward.
Up to part 4 the patched postmaster stays binary compatible to
databases created with an unpatched version. Part 5 is small (100
lines) and finally breaks compatibility.

PX recombination operator, changes some elog() messages from LOG
to DEBUG1, puts some debugging functions inside the appropriate
#ifdef (not enabled by default), and makes a few other minor
cleanups.
BTW, the elog() change is motivated by at least one user who
has sent a concerned email to -general asking exactly what the
"ERX recombination operator" is, and what it is doing to their
DBMS.
Neil Conway
tuple header. The fix is based on the thought that HEAP_MOVED_IN is
not needed any more as soon as HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED has been set. So
in tqual.c and vacuum.c the HEAP_MOVED bits are cleared when
HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED is set.
Vacuum robustness is enhanced by rearranging ifs, so that we have a
chance to elog(ERROR, ...) before an assertion fails.
A new regression test is included.

extension to create binary compatible casts. Includes dependency tracking
as well.
pg_proc.proimplicit is now defunct, but will be removed in a separate
commit.
pg_dump provides a migration path from the previous scheme to declare
casts. Dumping binary compatible casts is currently impossible, though.
COPY x (a,d,c,b) from stdin;
COPY x (a,c) to stdout;
as well as the corresponding changes to pg_dump to use the new
functionality. This functionality is not available when using
the BINARY option. If a column is not specified in the COPY FROM
statement, its default values will be used.
In addition to this functionality, I tweaked a couple of the
error messages emitted by the new COPY <options> checks.

Implements between (symmetric / asymmetric) as a node.
Executes the left or right expression once, makes a Const out of the
resulting Datum and executes the >=, <= portions out of the Const sets.
Of course, the parser does a fair amount of preparatory work for this to
happen.
Rod Taylor
Conway (BuildTupleFromCStrings sets NULL for pass-by-value types when
intended value is 0). It also implements some other improvements
suggested by Neil.
Joe Conway
conversion procs and conversions are added in initdb. Currently
supported conversions are:
UTF-8(UNICODE) <--> SQL_ASCII, ISO-8859-1 to 16, EUC_JP, EUC_KR,
EUC_CN, EUC_TW, SJIS, BIG5, GBK, GB18030, UHC,
JOHAB, TCVN
EUC_JP <--> SJIS
EUC_TW <--> BIG5
MULE_INTERNAL <--> EUC_JP, SJIS, EUC_TW, BIG5
Note that initial contents of pg_conversion system catalog are created
in the initdb process. So doing initdb required is ideal, it's
possible to add them to your databases by hand, however. To accomplish
this:
psql -f your_postgresql_install_path/share/conversion_create.sql your_database
So I did not bump up the version in cataversion.h.

Add more conversion procs

to build dependencies for rules, constraint expressions, and default
expressions. Repair some problems in the original design of
recursiveDeletion() exposed by more complex dependency sets. Fix
regression tests that were deleting things in illegal sequences.
pg_relcheck is gone; CHECK, UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY, and FOREIGN KEY
constraints all have real live entries in pg_constraint. pg_depend
exists, and RESTRICT/CASCADE options work on most kinds of DROP;
however, pg_depend is not yet very well populated with dependencies.
(Most of the ones that are present at this point just replace formerly
hardwired associations, such as the implicit drop of a relation's pg_type
entry when the relation is dropped.) Need to add more logic to create
dependency entries, improve pg_dump to dump constraints in place of
indexes and triggers, and add some regression tests.
This is the first cut toward CREATE CONVERSION/DROP CONVERSION implementaion.
The commands can now add/remove tuples to the new pg_conversion system
catalog, but that's all. Still need work to make them actually working.
Documentations, regression tests also need work.
are managed as per request.
Moved from merging with table attributes to applying themselves during
coerce_type() and coerce_type_typmod.
Regression tests altered to test the cast() scenarios.

Reused the Expr node to hold DISTINCT which strongly resembles
the existing OP info. Define DISTINCT_EXPR which strongly resembles
the existing OPER_EXPR opType, but with handling for NULLs required
by SQL99.
We have explicit support for single-element DISTINCT comparisons
all the way through to the executor. But, multi-element DISTINCTs
are handled by expanding into a comparison tree in gram.y as is done for
other row comparisons. Per discussions, it might be desirable to move
this into one or more purpose-built nodes to be handled in the backend.
Define the optional ROW keyword and token per SQL99.
This allows single-element row constructs, which were formerly disallowed
due to shift/reduce conflicts with parenthesized a_expr clauses.
Define the SQL99 TREAT() function. Currently, use as a synonym for CAST().

Thanks for the clarification. Here is the patch. Not much gain, but at
least it saves the next junior hacker from scratching his head ...
Manfred Koizar
all places, where pd_linp is accessed. Also introduce new macros
SizeOfPageHeaderData and BTMaxItemSize. This is just source code
cosmetic, no behaviour changed.

lines of code into internal routines (drop_relfilenode_buffers,
release_buffer) and by hiding unused routines (PrintBufferDescs,
PrintPinnedBufs) behind #ifdef NOT_USED. Remove AbortBufferIO()
declaration from bufmgr.c (already declared in bufmgr.h)
