some studying ...

There's also a little fix for the getRow() method. While fixing
absolute(), I noticed that getRow() wasn't quite following the spec: it
wasn't returning 0 when the ResultSet wasn't positioned on a row.  I've
started a ResultSet test case and included it as well.

bpchar, bit, numeric with typmod -1.  Alter format_type so that this
representation is printed when the typmod is -1.  This ensures that
tables having such columns can be pg_dump'd and reloaded correctly.
Also, remove the rather useless and non-SQL-compliant default
precision and scale for type NUMERIC.  A numeric column declared as
such (with no precision/scale) will now have typmod -1 which means
that numeric values of any precision/scale can be stored in it,
without conversion to a uniform scale.  This seems significantly
more useful than the former behavior.  Part of response to bug #513.

use that typmod not -1 as the typmod of the CASE result.

typmod of a particular column, mark the output with that same typmod,
not -1 as formerly.  -1 is still used if there is any disagreement.

of the underlying proc, which might be only binary-compatible (cf.
textcat entries).

used inside fk constraints, since some of the checks
in the trigger did a SELECT oid.  Since the oid wasn't
actually used, I changed this to SELECT 1.  My test
case with non-oid tables now works and fk regression
appears to run fine on my machine.

postmaster log with elog(DEBUG) so that they will be timestamped etc.
Once upon a time I think elog() was unsafe here, but it shouldn't be anymore.
