strings. Should go back in and look at doing this a bit more elegantly
and (hopefully) cheaper. Probably not too bad anyway, but it seems a
shame to scan the strings twice: once for length for this buffer overrun
protection, and once to parse the line.
Remove use of pow() in date/time handling; was already gone from everything
*but* the time data types.
Define macros for handling typmod manipulation for date/time types.
Should be more robust than all of that brute-force inline code.
Rename macros for masking and typmod manipulation to put TIMESTAMP_
or INTERVAL_ in front of the macro name, to reduce the possibility
of name space collisions.

May not be the long-term solution (some continuing discussion with
Peter E.) but better than the current mapping of a conversion to integer
which I'd put in years ago before we had any bit string types at all.
This is already supported in the bit string implementation elsewhere.

I believe that patch also intended to remove contrib/ltree/patch.72
Please use this patch instead of my previously submitted one.
It is just remerged against HEAD for new alter_table.out stuff.
Another reason this patch is useful for _interactive_ users: imagine a
view based on a many way join. Imagine creating a complicated insert
rule that inserts into all the joined tables and when you insert you get
a check failure, but you need to know which actual table the constraint
was on that failed!

ERROR: ExecInsert: rejected due to CHECK constraint insert_con
To be like this:
ERROR: ExecInsert: rejected due to CHECK constraint "insert_con" on
"insert_tbl"
Updated regression tests to match.
I got sick of seeing 'rejected due to CHECK constraint "$1" in my log and
not being able to find the bug in our website code...

functionality of the command is basically identical to that of
BEGIN; it just accepts a few extra options (only one of which
PostgreSQL currently implements), and is standards-compliant.
The patch includes a simple regression test and documentation.
[ Regression tests removed, per Peter.]

there was a race condition between the "alter_table" and "rules"
regression tests. Depending on scheduling, sometimes an ALTER
TABLE command would operate on a relation created by the "rules"
tests, leading to unexpected results.

in the relcache. It's rather silly that we have reference count leak
checks in bufmgr and in catcache, but not in relcache which will normally
have many fewer entries. Chris K-L would have caught at least one bug
in his recent DROP patch if he'd had this.
relation being modified. In most paths of control we'd already have
such a lock, but if we were dropping the default due to a cascaded
delete of some function it depended on, maybe not.
code review by Tom Lane. Remaining issues: functions that take or
return tuple types are likely to break if one drops (or adds!)
a column in the table defining the type. Need to think about what
to do here.
Along the way: some code review for recent COPY changes; mark system
columns attnotnull = true where appropriate, per discussion a month ago.
attstattarget to indicate 'use the default'. The default is now a GUC
variable default_statistics_target, and so may be changed on the fly. Along
the way we gain the ability to have pg_dump dump the per-column statistics
target when it's not the default. Patch by Neil Conway, with some kibitzing
from Tom Lane.
this only works against 7.3 or later databases; the pushups required
to do it without regprocedure/regtype/etc seem more trouble than they're
worth, considering that existing users aren't expecting pg_dump support
for this.
All of the internal tags are of the latter.
The other thing I noticed is that most of the quick examples in the file
use a para and synopsis. Is there a reason we're not using <example/> ?
