Per recent discussion, this does not work because other backends can't
reliably see tuples in a temp table and so cannot run the RI checks
correctly.  Seems better to disallow this case than go back to accessing
temp tables through shared buffers.  Also, disallow FK references to
ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS tables.  We already caught this problem for normal
TRUNCATE, but the path used by ON COMMIT didn't check.

problem that was present in 7.4 Beta 2.

SQLSTATE error codes required by SQL99 (invalid format, datetime field
overflow, interval field overflow, invalid time zone displacement value).
Also emit a HINT about DateStyle in cases where it seems appropriate.
Per recent gripes.

now all that is tested is Rod Taylor's recent addition to allow
this syntax:

    UPDATE ... SET <col> = DEFAULT;

If anyone else would like to add more UPDATE tests, go ahead --
I just wanted to write a test for the above functionality, and
couldn't see an existing test that it would be appropriate
to add to.

as well as the hash function (formerly the comparison function was hardwired
as memcmp()).  This makes it possible to eliminate the special-purpose
hashtable management code in execGrouping.c in favor of using dynahash to
manage tuple hashtables; which is a win because dynahash knows how to expand
a hashtable when the original size estimate was too small, whereas the
special-purpose code was too stupid to do that.  (See recent gripe from
Stephan Szabo about poor performance when hash table size estimate is way
off.)  Free side benefit: when using string_hash, the default comparison
function is now strncmp() instead of memcmp().  This should eliminate some
part of the overhead associated with larger NAMEDATALEN values.

adjust array_cat to make array || array comply with the SQL99 spec.

datatype by array_eq and array_cmp; use this to solve problems with memory
leaks in array indexing support.  The parser's equality_oper and ordering_oper
routines also use the cache.  Change the operator search algorithms to look
for appropriate btree or hash index opclasses, instead of assuming operators
named '<' or '=' have the right semantics.  (ORDER BY ASC/DESC now also look
at opclasses, instead of assuming '<' and '>' are the right things.)  Add
several more index opclasses so that there is no regression in functionality
for base datatypes.  initdb forced due to catalog additions.

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

>>ISTM that "source" is worth knowing.

> Hm, possibly.  Any other opinions?

This version has the seven fields I proposed, including "source". Here's
an example that shows why I think it's valuable:

regression=# \x
Expanded display is on.
regression=# select * from pg_settings where name = 'enable_seqscan';
-[ RECORD 1 ]-----------
name    | enable_seqscan
setting | on
context | user
vartype | bool
source  | default
min_val |
max_val |

regression=# update pg_settings set setting = 'off' where name =
'enable_seqscan';
-[ RECORD 1 ]---
set_config | off

regression=# select * from pg_settings where name = 'enable_seqscan';
-[ RECORD 1 ]-----------
name    | enable_seqscan
setting | off
context | user
vartype | bool
source  | session
min_val |
max_val |

regression=# alter user postgres set enable_seqscan to 'off';
ALTER USER

(log out and then back in again)

regression=# \x
Expanded display is on.
regression=# select * from pg_settings where name = 'enable_seqscan';
-[ RECORD 1 ]-----------
name    | enable_seqscan
setting | off
context | user
vartype | bool
source  | user
min_val |
max_val |

In the first case, enable_seqscan is set to its default value. After
setting it to off, it is obvious that the value has been changed for the
session only. In the third case, you can see that the value has been set
specifically for the user.

that the regression tests for foreign keys didn't seem to test
a deferred constraint that was not satisified by a later
statement and was not made immediate by set constraints,
so here's a simple added test with a single invalid insert and
a commit.

Along the way, fix some logic problems in pgstat_initstats, notably the
bogus assumption that malloc returns zeroed memory.

(BBBB before bbbb) and others the other way around.  Provide comparison
files that cater to both approaches.

DATESTYLE, for instance 'SQL, European' instead of
'SQL with European conventions'.  Per gripe a month or two back from
Barry Lind.

function-not-found messages now distinguish the cases no-match and
ambiguous-match, and they follow the style guidelines too.

It also works to create a non-polymorphic aggregate from polymorphic
functions, should you want to do that.  Regression test added, docs still
lacking.  By Joe Conway, with some kibitzing from Tom Lane.

'scalar op ALL (array)', where the operator is applied between the
lefthand scalar and each element of the array.  The operator must
yield boolean; the result of the construct is the OR or AND of the
per-element results, respectively.

by Tom to keep the implementation strictly separate from subqueries.

comparison functions), replacing the highly bogus bitwise array_eq.  Create
a btree index opclass for ANYARRAY --- it is now possible to create indexes
on array columns.
Arrange to cache the results of catalog lookups across multiple array
operations, instead of repeating the lookups on every call.
Add string_to_array and array_to_string functions.
Remove singleton_array, array_accum, array_assign, and array_subscript
functions, since these were for proof-of-concept and not intended to become
supported functions.
Minor adjustments to behavior in some corner cases with empty or
zero-dimensional arrays.

HH:MM:SS.SSS... when there is a nonzero part-of-a-day field in an
interval value.  The seconds part used to be suppressed if zero,
but there's no equivalent behavior for timestamp, and since we're
modeling this format on timestamp it's probably wrong.  Per complaint
and patch from Larry Rosenman.

- LIKE <subtable> [ INCLUDING DEFAULTS | EXCLUDING DEFAULTS ]
- Quick cleanup of analyze.c function prototypes.
- New non-reserved keywords (INCLUDING, EXCLUDING, DEFAULTS), SQL 200X

Opted not to extend for check constraints at this time.

As per the definition that it's user defined columns, OIDs are NOT
inherited.
