coercions, not implicit ones. For example, 'select abstime(1035497293)'
should succeed because there is an explicit binary coercion from int4
to abstime.
principled order; in particular ensure that all shared resources
are released before we release transaction locks. The code used
to release locks before buffer pins, which might explain an ancient
note I have about a bufmgr assertion failure I'd seen once several
years ago, and been unable to reproduce since. (Theory: someone
trying to drop a relation might be able to reach FlushRelationBuffers
before the last user of the relation had gotten around to dropping
his buffer pins.)
item, if the page containing the current item is split while the indexscan
is stopped and holds no read-lock on the page. The current item might
move right onto a page that the indexscan holds no pin on. In the prior
code this would allow btbulkdelete to reach and possibly delete the item,
causing 'my bits moved right off the end of the world!' when the indexscan
finally resumes. Fix by chaining read-locks to the right during
_bt_restscan and requiring btbulkdelete to LockBufferForCleanup on every
page it scans, not only those with deletable items. Per my pghackers
message of 25-May-02. (Too bad no one could think of a better way.)
whose conditions might yield NULL. The negated qual to attach to the
original query is properly 'x IS NOT TRUE', not 'NOT x'. This fix
produces correct behavior, but we may be taking a performance hit because
the planner is much stupider about IS NOT TRUE than it is about NOT
clauses. Future TODO: teach prepqual, other parts of planner how to
cope with BooleanTest clauses more effectively.

and guard against calling REINDEX DATABASE from a function (has same
problem as VACUUM).
rather than being reordered according to INSTEAD attribute for
implementation convenience.
Also, increase compiled-in recursion depth limit from 10 to 100 rewrite
cycles. 10 seems pretty marginal for situations where multiple rules
exist for the same query. There was a complaint about this recently,
so I'm going to bump it up. (Perhaps we should make the limit a GUC
parameter, but that's too close to being a new feature to do in beta.)

variables (it was bogusly assuming binary compatibility), and adjust
make_greater_string() to not call pg_mbcliplen() with invalid multibyte
data (this last per bug report that I can't find at the moment, but it
was in July '02).

All right, this is it. This patch merely checks if child tables have
the column. If atttypid and atttypmod are the same, the attributes'
attinhcount is incremented; else the operation is aborted. If child
tables don't have the column, recursively add it.
attislocal is not touched in any case.

that need to be added, but this is a start. I've included some simple
regression tests.

the same querystring were issued interactively. Per gripe from

query that uses it. This ensures that triggers will be applied consistently
throughout a query even if someone commits changes to the relation's
pg_class.reltriggers field meanwhile. Per crash report from Laurette Cisneros.
While at it, simplify memory management in relcache.c, which no longer
needs the old hack to try to keep trigger info in the same place over
a relcache entry rebuild. (Should try to fix rd_att and rewrite-rule
access similarly, someday.) And make RelationBuildTriggers simpler and
more robust by making it build the trigdesc in working memory and then
CopyTriggerDesc() into cache memory.
ANALYZE is not quite clear when branches of the query are never
executed. So this tiny patch fixes that.

Attached is a patch to fix the mb linking problems on AIX. As a nice side effect
it reduces the duplicate symbol warnings to linking libpq.so and libecpg.so
(all shlibs that are not postmaster loadable modules).
Please apply to current (only affects AIX).
The _LARGE_FILES problem is unfortunately still open, unless Peter
has fixed it per his recent idea.

Perhaps it would be better to explicitly exclude just a few utility
statement types from setting a snapshot?

were waiting to get the WALWriteLock. This improves throughput when
transactions are small enough that several can be committed per WAL
write (ie, per disk revolution).

binary-equivalenced match as to typlen, typbyval, and typalign; if
they don't then it's surely a mistake to equivalence them.
just the significant fields of FunctionCallInfoData, rather than MemSet'ing
the whole struct to zero. Unused positions in the arg[] array will
thereby contain garbage rather than zeroes. This buys back some of the
performance hit from increasing FUNC_MAX_ARGS. Also tweak tuplesort.c
code for more speed by marking some routines 'inline'. All together
these changes speed up simple sorts, like count(distinct int4column),
by about 25% on a P4 running RH Linux 7.2.

In addition to a review by the usual suspects, it would be very
