In commit 11e131854f8231a21613f834c40fe9d046926387, we improved the rule/view dumping code so that it would produce valid query representations even if some of the tables involved in a query had been renamed since the query was parsed. This patch extends that idea to fix problems that occur when individual columns are renamed, or added or dropped. As before, the core of the fix is to assign unique new aliases when a name conflict has been created. This is complicated by the JOIN USING feature, which requires the same column alias to be used in both input relations, but we can handle that with a sufficiently complex approach to assigning aliases. A fortiori, this patch takes care of situations where the query didn't have unique column names to begin with, such as in a recent complaint from Bryan Nuse. (Because of expansion of "SELECT *", re-parsing a dumped query can require column name uniqueness even though the original text did not.)

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, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download 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.
