available (else there's no way to interpret the list links). Change
pg_locks view to show transaction ID locks separately from ordinary
relation locks. Avoid showing N duplicate rows when the same lock is
held multiple times (seems unlikely that users care about exact hold
count). Improve documentation.
to false provides more SQL-spec-compliant behavior than we had before.
I am not sure that setting it false is actually a good idea yet; there
is a lot of client-side code that will probably be broken by turning
autocommit off. But it's a start.
Loosely based on a patch by David Van Wie.
column additions, deletions, and renames that would let a child table
get out of sync with its parent. Patch by Alvaro Herrera, with some
kibitzing by Tom Lane.

I've attached a patch which should fix these problems.

diffs to 7.3-devel and may not be applicable to 7.2. I have included a
change covered by a previous bugfix patch I submitted (the problem with
-.1 not being accepted by cube_in). It does not include a fix for the
potential buffer overrun issue I reported for cube_yyerror in
cubeparse.y.

connections by the superuser only.
This patch replaces the last patch I sent a couple of days ago.
It closes a connection that has not been authorised by a superuser if it would
leave less than the GUC variable ReservedBackends
(superuser_reserved_connections in postgres.conf) backend process slots free
in the SISeg. This differs to the first patch which only reserved the last
ReservedBackends slots in the procState array. This has made the free slot
test more expensive due to the use of a lock.
After thinking about a comment on the first patch I've also made it a fatal
error if the number of reserved slots is not less than the maximum number of
connections.

to the table function, thus preventing memory leakage accumulation across
calls. This means that SRFs need to be careful to distinguish permanent
and local storage; adjust code and documentation accordingly. Patch by
Joe Conway, very minor tweaks by Tom Lane.
ERROR: Cannot display a value of type RECORD
rather than a random integer when someone tries to SELECT a tuple
value. Per pghackers discussion around 26-May-02.
