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.
function body (and other properties) as a function in the language
is created. This generalizes ad hoc code that already existed for
the built-in languages.
The validation now happens after the pg_proc tuple of the new function
is created, so it is possible to define recursive SQL functions.
Add some regression test cases that cover bogus function definition
attempts.
in snapshots, per my proposal of a few days ago. Also, tweak heapam.c
routines (heap_insert, heap_update, heap_delete, heap_mark4update) to
be passed the command ID to use, instead of doing GetCurrentCommandID.
For catalog updates they'll still get passed current command ID, but
for updates generated from the main executor they'll get passed the
command ID saved in the snapshot the query is using. This should fix
some corner cases associated with functions and triggers that advance
current command ID while an outer query is still in progress.
have been divided according to the type of object manipulated - so ALTER
TABLE code is in tablecmds.c, aggregate commands in aggregatecmds.c and
so on.
A few common support routines remain in define.c (prototypes in
src/include/commands/defrem.h).
No code has been changed except for includes to reflect the new files.
The prototypes for aggregatecmds.c, functioncmds.c, operatorcmds.c,
and typecmds.c remain in src/include/commands/defrem.h.

database, including system catalogs (but not the shared catalogs,
since they don't really belong to his database). This is per recent
mailing list discussion. Clean up some other code that also checks
for database ownerness by introducing a test function is_dbadmin().
bothering to check the return value --- which meant that in case the
update or delete failed because of a concurrent update, you'd not find
out about it, except by observing later that the transaction produced
the wrong outcome. There are now subroutines simple_heap_update and
simple_heap_delete that should be used anyplace that you're not prepared
to do the full nine yards of coping with concurrent updates. In
practice, that seems to mean absolutely everywhere but the executor,
because *noplace* else was checking.
maintained for each cache entry. A cache entry will not be freed until
the matching ReleaseSysCache call has been executed. This eliminates
worries about cache entries getting dropped while still in use. See
my posting to pg-hackers of even date for more info.
key call sites are changed, but most called functions are still oldstyle.
An exception is that the PL managers are updated (so, for example, NULL
handling now behaves as expected in plperl and plpgsql functions).
NOTE initdb is forced due to added column in pg_proc.
Make all system indexes unique.
Make all cache loads use system indexes.
Rename *rel to *relid in inheritance tables.
Rename cache names to be clearer.
additional argument specifying the kind of lock to acquire/release (or
'NoLock' to do no lock processing). Ensure that all relations are locked
with some appropriate lock level before being examined --- this ensures
that relevant shared-inval messages have been processed and should prevent
problems caused by concurrent VACUUM. Fix several bugs having to do with
mismatched increment/decrement of relation ref count and mismatched
heap_open/close (which amounts to the same thing). A bogus ref count on
a relation doesn't matter much *unless* a SI Inval message happens to
arrive at the wrong time, which is probably why we got away with this
sloppiness for so long. Repair missing grab of AccessExclusiveLock in
DROP TABLE, ALTER/RENAME TABLE, etc, as noted by Hiroshi.
Recommend 'make clean all' after pulling this update; I modified the
Relation struct layout slightly.
Will post further discussion to pghackers list shortly.
no longer returns buffer pointer, can be gotten from scan;
descriptor; bootstrap can create multi-key indexes;
pg_procname index now is multi-key index; oidint2, oidint4, oidname
are gone (must be removed from regression tests); use System Cache
rather than sequential scan in many places; heap_modifytuple no
longer takes buffer parameter; remove unused buffer parameter in
a few other functions; oid8 is not index-able; remove some use of
single-character variable names; cleanup Buffer variables usage
and scan descriptor looping; cleaned up allocation and freeing of
tuples; 18k lines of diff;
1. Removes the unnecessary "#define AbcRegProcedure 123"'s from
pg_proc.h.
2. Changes those #defines to use the names already defined in
fmgr.h.
3. Forces the make of fmgr.h in backend/Makefile instead of having
it
made as a dependency in access/common/Makefile *hack*hack*hack*
4. Rearranged the #includes to a less helter-skelter arrangement,
also
changing <file.h> to "file.h" to signify a non-system header.
5. Removed "pg_proc.h" from files where its only purpose was for
the
#defines removed in item #1.
6. Added "fmgr.h" to each file changed for completeness sake.
Turns out that #6 was not necessary for some files because fmgr.h
was being included in a roundabout way SIX levels deep by the first
include.
"access/genam.h"
->"access/relscan.h"
->"utils/rel.h"
->"access/strat.h"
->"access/skey.h"
->"fmgr.h"
So adding fmgr.h really didn't add anything to the compile, hopefully
just made it clearer to the programmer.

seems that my last post didn't make it through. That's good
since the diff itself didn't covered the renaming of
pg_user.h to pg_shadow.h and it's new content.
Here it's again. The complete regression test passwd with
only some float diffs. createuser and destroyuser work.
pg_shadow cannot be read by ordinary user.
