Allow EXECUTE of "CREATE TABLE AS ... SELECT" in PL/PgSQL (Tom)

 Allow CREATE TABLE AS ... SELECT in PL/PgSQL (Tom)

Also, fix debug logging of parse/plan trees so that the messages actually
go through elog(), not directly to stdout.

there and CREATE SCHEMA will make entries in it...

the parsetree representation.  As yet we don't *do* anything with schema
names, just drop 'em on the floor; but you can enter schema-compatible
command syntax, and there's even a primitive CREATE SCHEMA command.
No doc updates yet, except to note that you can now extract a field
from a function-returning-row's result with (foo(...)).fieldname.

Sorry Bruce, I was unclear. I have attached patch to Readme.tsearch
Also, It'd be worth to mention in Changes to point users of tsearch
about importang upgrade notices.

- domain.patch -> source patch against pgsql in cvs
- drop_domain.sgml and create_domain.sgml -> New doc/src/sgml/ref docs

- dominfo.txt -> basic domain related queries I used for testing
[ ADDED TO /doc]

Enables domains of array elements -> CREATE DOMAIN dom int4[3][2];

Uses a typbasetype column to describe the origin of the domain.

Copies data to attnotnull rather than processing in execMain().

Some documentation differences from earlier.

If this is approved, I'll start working on pg_dump, and a \dD <domain>
option in psql, and regression tests.  I don't really feel like doing
those until the system table structure settles for pg_type.


CHECKS when added, will also be copied to to the table attributes.  FK
Constraints (if I ever figure out how) will be done similarly.  Both
will lbe handled by MergeDomainAttributes() which is called shortly
before MergeAttributes().

Add PsqlODBC and document ...etc patch.

Eiji Tokuya

(current as of a few hours ago.)

This patch:

1. Adds PG_GETARG_xxx_P_SLICE() macros and associated support routines.

2. Adds routines in src/backend/access/tuptoaster.c for fetching only
necessary chunks of a toasted value. (Modelled on latest changes to
assume chunks are returned in order).

3. Amends text_substr and bytea_substr to use new methods. It now
handles multibyte cases -and should still lead to a performance
improvement in the multibyte case where the substring is near the
beginning of the string.

4. Added new command: ALTER TABLE tabname ALTER COLUMN colname SET
STORAGE {PLAIN | EXTERNAL | EXTENDED | MAIN} to parser and documented in
alter-table.sgml. (NB I used ColId as the item type for the storage
mode string, rather than a new production - I hope this makes sense!).
All this does is sets attstorage for the specified column.

4. AlterTableAlterColumnStatistics is now AlterTableAlterColumnFlags and
handles both statistics and storage (it uses the subtype code to
distinguish). The previous version of my patch also re-arranged other
code in backend/commands/command.c but I have dropped that from this
patch.(I plan to return to it separately).

5. Documented new macros (and also the PG_GETARG_xxx_P_COPY macros) in
xfunc.sgml. ref/alter_table.sgml also contains documentation for ALTER
COLUMN SET STORAGE.

Everyone using libpq and bytea is probably having to invent this wheel..

now just below FATAL in server_min_messages.  Added more text to
highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

REALLYFATAL => PANIC
STOP => PANIC
New INFO level the prints to client by default
New LOG level the prints to server log by default
Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client
NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent
DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages
DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible
DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added
DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols
New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
        DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC
New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
        DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC
Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG
Remove debug_level GUC parameter
elog() numbers now start at 10
Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog()
Bootstrap mode now has a -d that requires an argument, like postmaster

variables.  New commands ALTER DATABASE ... SET and ALTER USER ... SET.
