In RI_FKey_pk_upd_check_required(), we check among other things whether the old and new key are equal, so that we don't need to run cascade actions when nothing has actually changed. This was using the equality operator. But the effect of this is that if a value in the primary key is changed to one that "looks" different but compares as equal, the update is not propagated. (Examples are float -0 and 0 and case-insensitive text.) This appears to violate the SQL standard, and it also behaves inconsistently if in a multicolumn key another key is also updated that would cause the row to compare as not equal. To fix, if we are looking at the PK table in ri_KeysEqual(), then do a bytewise comparison similar to record_image_eq() instead of using the equality operators. This only makes a difference for ON UPDATE CASCADE, but for consistency we treat all changes to the PK the same. For the FK table, we continue to use the equality operators.
