Tom Lane	de8113fcdb	Update release notes for recent changes; also minor editorialization.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	35f4994133	Fix plperl and pltcl error handling per my previous proposal. SPI ... operations are now run as subtransactions, so that errors in them can be reported as ordinary Perl or Tcl errors and caught by the normal error handling convention of those languages. Also do some minor code cleanup in pltcl.c: extract a large chunk of duplicated code in pltcl_SPI_execute and pltcl_SPI_execute_plan into a shared subroutine.	21 years ago

Also delay processing of options received in client connection request until after we know if the user is a superuser, so that SUSET values can be set that way by legitimate superusers. Per recent discussion.	21 years ago
