Tom Lane 799290b1c5 Rearrange use of plpgsql_add_initdatums() so that only the parsing of a
DECLARE section needs to know about it.  Formerly, everyplace besides DECLARE
that created variables needed to do "plpgsql_add_initdatums(NULL)" to prevent
those variables from being sucked up as part of a subsequent DECLARE block.
This is obviously error-prone, and in fact the SQLSTATE/SQLERRM patch had
failed to do it for those two variables, leading to the bug recently exhibited
by Asif Ali Rehman: a DECLARE within an exception handler tried to reinitialize
SQLERRM.

Although the SQLSTATE/SQLERRM patch isn't in any pre-8.1 branches, and so
I can't point to a demonstrable failure there, it seems wise to back-patch
this into the older branches anyway, just to keep the logic similar to HEAD.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces including some of the more
common listed below:

C++ - http://thaiopensource.org/development/libpqxx/
JDBC - http://jdbc.postgresql.org
ODBC - http://odbc.postgresql.org
Perl - http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/
PHP - http://www.php.net
Python - http://www.initd.org/
Ruby - http://ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/

Other language binding are available from a variety of contributing
parties.

PostgreSQL also has a great number of procedural languages available,
a short but not complete list is below:

PL/pgSQL - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/Perl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/PHP - http://projects.commandprompt.com/projects/public/plphp
PL/Python - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/Java - http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pljava/projdisplay.php
PL/Tcl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
