909a8377db The valid return value should be MODIFY instead of MODIFIED.
The error message said so :-)

In 25.3. Using PL/Python

        If the trigger "when" is BEFORE, you may return None or "OK"
        from the Python function to indicate the tuple is unmodified, "SKIP"
        to abort the event, or "MODIFIED" to indicate you've modified the tuple.

9946b83ded Bring SIMILAR TO and SUBSTRING into some semblance of conformance with

quite right, but that can be fixed later.)  Document SQL99 and POSIX
regexps as being different features; provide variants of SUBSTRING for
each.

eb3adab568 Provide an upgrade strategy for dump files containing functions declared
with OPAQUE.  CREATE LANGUAGE, CREATE TRIGGER, and CREATE TYPE will all
accept references to functions declared with OPAQUE --- but they will
issue a NOTICE, and will modify the function entries in pg_proc to have
the preferred type-safe argument or result types instead of OPAQUE.
Per recent pghackers discussions.

b26dfb9522 Extend pg_cast castimplicit column to a three-way value; this allows us
to be flexible about assignment casts without introducing ambiguity in
operator/function resolution.  Introduce a well-defined promotion hierarchy
for numeric datatypes (int2->int4->int8->numeric->float4->float8).
Change make_const to initially label numeric literals as int4, int8, or
numeric (never float8 anymore).
Explicitly mark Func and RelabelType nodes to indicate whether they came
from a function call, explicit cast, or implicit cast; use this to do
reverse-listing more accurately and without so many heuristics.
Explicit casts to char, varchar, bit, varbit will truncate or pad without
raising an error (the pre-7.2 behavior), while assigning to a column without
any explicit cast will still raise an error for wrong-length data like 7.3.
This more nearly follows the SQL spec than 7.2 behavior (we should be
reporting a 'completion condition' in the explicit-cast cases, but we have
no mechanism for that, so just do silent truncation).
Fix some problems with enforcement of typmod for array elements;
it didn't work at all in 'UPDATE ... SET array[n] = foo', for example.
Provide a generalized array_length_coerce() function to replace the
specialized per-array-type functions that used to be needed (and were
missing for NUMERIC as well as all the datetime types).
Add missing conversions int8<->float4, text<->numeric, oid<->int8.
initdb forced.

No one commented on the choice of name, so the attached patch changes
the name of split(text,text,int) to split_part(text,text,int) per
Hannu's recommendation above. This can be applied without an initdb if
current beta testers are advised to run:

   update pg_proc set proname = 'split_part' where proname = 'split';

in the case they want to use this function. Regression and doc fix is
also included in the patch.
