column additions, deletions, and renames that would let a child table
get out of sync with its parent. Patch by Alvaro Herrera, with some

CVS HEAD):
Amended "strings" regression test. TOAST tests now insert two values
with storage set to "external", to exercise properly the TOAST slice
routines which fetch only a subset of the chunks.
Changed now-misleading comment on AlterTableCreateToastTable in
tablecmds.c, because both columns of the index on a toast table are now
used.

copying into a fixed-size buffer (in this case, a buffer of
NAMEDATALEN bytes). AFAICT nothing to worry about here, but worth
fixing anyway...
Neil Conway
value '-2' is used to indicate a variable-width type whose width is
computed as strlen(datum)+1. Everything that looks at typlen is updated
except for array support, which Joe Conway is working on; at the moment
it wouldn't work to try to create an array of cstring.
tighten foreign-key check (a self-reference should not prevent TRUNCATE),
improve error message, cause a relation's TOAST table to be truncated
along with the relation.
constraints
The issue with finding and removing foreign key constraints is no longer
an issue, so please apply the attached.
It does NOT check for rules or on delete triggers (old style foreign
keys) as those are difficult to deal with (remove, truncate, re-add).
Rod Taylor
latent wrong-struct-type bugs and makes the coding style more uniform,
since the majority of places working with lists of column names were
already using Strings not Idents. While at it, remove vestigial
support for Stream node type, and otherwise-unreferenced nodes.h entries
for T_TupleCount and T_BaseNode.
NB: full recompile is recommended due to changes of Node type numbers.
This shouldn't force an initdb though.

Thanks.
Attached is a patch against cvs tip as of 8:30 PM PST or so. Turned out
that even after fixing the failed hunks, there was a new spot in
bufmgr.c which needed to be fixed (related to temp relations;
RelationUpdateNumberOfBlocks). But thankfully the regression test code
caught it :-)
Joe Conway
hardwired lists of index names for each catalog, use the relcache's
mechanism for caching lists of OIDs of indexes of any table. This
reduces the common case of updating system catalog indexes to a single
line, makes it much easier to add a new system index (in fact, you
can now do so on-the-fly if you want to), and as a nice side benefit
improves performance a little. Per recent pghackers discussion.
code review by Tom Lane. Remaining issues: functions that take or
return tuple types are likely to break if one drops (or adds!)
a column in the table defining the type. Need to think about what
to do here.
Along the way: some code review for recent COPY changes; mark system
columns attnotnull = true where appropriate, per discussion a month ago.
attstattarget to indicate 'use the default'. The default is now a GUC
variable default_statistics_target, and so may be changed on the fly. Along
the way we gain the ability to have pg_dump dump the per-column statistics
target when it's not the default. Patch by Neil Conway, with some kibitzing
from Tom Lane.
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.

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.
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.
Rod Taylor
RESTRICT/CASCADE syntax to the DROP commands that need it, and propagates
the behavioral option through the parser to the routines that execute
drops. Doesn't do anything useful yet, but I figured I'd commit these
changes so I could get out of the parser area while working on the rest.
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.
yesterday's proposal to pghackers. Also remove unnecessary parameters
to heap_beginscan, heap_rescan. I modified pg_proc.h to reflect the
new numbers of parameters for the AM interface routines, but did not
force an initdb because nothing actually looks at those fields.
returns-set boolean field in Func and Oper nodes. This allows cleaner,
more reliable tests for expressions returning sets in the planner and
parser. For example, a WHERE clause returning a set is now detected
and complained of in the parser, not only at runtime.
pg_database, pg_shadow, pg_group, all of which now have potentially-long
fields. Along the way, get rid of SharedSystemRelationNames list: shared
rels are now identified in their include/pg_catalog/*.h files by a
BKI_SHARED_RELATION macro, while indexes and toast rels inherit sharedness
automatically from their parent table. Fix some bugs with failure to detoast
pg_group.grolist during ALTER GROUP.
messages more uniform and internationalizable: the global array
aclcheck_error_strings[] is gone in favor of a subroutine
aclcheck_error(). Partial implementation of namespace-related
permission checks --- not all done yet.
divide backend/commands by object type, let's try to pay at least
minimal attention to respecting that structure, eh? Also reorder the
contents of tablecmds.c; it seems odd to me to put ALTER commands before
creation/deletion commands.
left a stub for a future "ALTER RULE RENAME" but did not write that one
yet. Bruce, if you want to add my name for for that I'll take it and do
it later.

(tgrelid, tgname). This provides an additional check on trigger name
uniqueness per-table (which was already enforced by the code anyway).
With this change, RelationBuildTriggers will read the triggers in
order by tgname, since it's scanning using this index. Since a
predictable trigger ordering has been requested for some time, document
this behavior as a feature. Also document that rules fire in name
order, since yesterday's changes to pg_rewrite indexing cause that too.
DROP RULE and COMMENT ON RULE syntax adds an 'ON tablename' clause,
similar to TRIGGER syntaxes. To allow loading of existing pg_dump
files containing COMMENT ON RULE, the COMMENT code will still accept
the old syntax --- but only if the target rulename is unique across
the whole database.
The indexes on most system catalogs are named with the suffix "_index";
not so with TOAST table indexes, which use "_idx". This trivial patch
changes TOAST table index names to use the "_index" suffix for
consistency.

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.

depend on this rather than the trigger argument strings to locate the
other relation to test. This makes RI triggers function properly in
the presence of schemas and temp tables. Along the way, fix bogus lack
of locking in RI triggers, handle quoting of names fully correctly,
compute required sizes of query buffers with some semblance of accuracy.

also used for int4notin, currtid_byrelname, pgstattuple. Also,
move TOAST tables into special pg_toast namespace.

path yet, and not all operations work yet on tables outside the system
namespace.

it will no longer be a useful unique identifier of relations;
we want to encourage people to rely on the relation OID instead.
Further work on dumping qual expressions in EXPLAIN, too.
objects to be privilege-checked. Some change in their APIs would be
necessary no matter what in the schema environment, and simply getting
rid of the name-based interface entirely seems like the best way.
