lots of operations.

fmgr.h - it's discouraged to access fcinfo directly but there is no
macro to get the number of arguments passed to the function. Checking
the number of arguments is often useful when you have a function which
can be called like:

 func('arg');
 func(null);
 func();

all mapping to the same C function.

the macro has a function-like appearance to match the other PG_*
macros.

attached to the same message with the Earth Distance patches.
Recent changes include changing the subscript in one place I forgot
in the previous bugfix patch. A couple of added regression tests, which
should help catch this mistake if it reappears.
I also put in a limit of 100 dimensions in cube_large and cube_in to
prevent making it easy to create very large cubes. Changing one define
in cubedata.h will raise the limit if some needs more dimensions.

Please, apply attached patch, it solves the problem.

Attached is a diff -c format proposal to fix this. I've also attached a short
test script. Seems to work OK and passes all regression tests.

Here's a breakdown of how I understand plpgsql's "Special word rules" -- I
think it illustrates the behavior reasonably well. New functions added by this
patch are plpgsql_parse_tripwordtype and plpgsql_parse_dblwordrowtype:

No one commented on the choice of name, so the attached patch changes
the name of split(text,text,int) to split_part(text,text,int) per
Hannu's recommendation above. This can be applied without an initdb if
current beta testers are advised to run:

   update pg_proc set proname = 'split_part' where proname = 'split';

in the case they want to use this function. Regression and doc fix is
also included in the patch.

The attached patch fixes the infinite recursion bug in
contrib/tablefunc/tablefunc.c:connectby found by Masaru Sugawara.

test=# SELECT * FROM connectby('connectby_tree', 'keyid',
'parent_keyid', '2', 4, '~') AS t(keyid int, parent_keyid int, level
int, branch text);

      2 |              |     0 | 2
      4 |            2 |     1 | 2~4
      6 |            4 |     2 | 2~4~6

ERROR:  infinite recursion detected

I implemented it by checking the branch string for repeated keys
(whether or not the branch is returned). The performance hit was pretty
minimal -- about 1% for a moderately complex test case (220000 record
table, 9 level tree with 3800 members).

Ok, the following patch should solve this concern.  It also tries to
connect as little times as possible (the previous one would connect one
time per table plus one per database; this one connects two times per
database).

Alvaro Herrera

for contrib/intarray.

The cause was that the library uses its own function to construct a new
array, new_intArrayType, and that function did not set the new array
struct attribute elemtype.

test suite to contrib/tablefunc.

that are explicitly JOINed are not considered dependencies unless they
are actually used in the query: mere presence in the joinaliasvars
list of a JOIN RTE doesn't count as being used.  The patch touches
a number of files because I needed to generalize the API of
query_tree_walker to support an additional flag bit, but the changes
are otherwise quite small.

  - Properly drop tables in jdbc regression tests with cascade for 7.3
  - problem with Statement.execute() and executeUpdate() not clearing binds
  - problem with ResultSet not correctly handling default encoding
  - changes to correctly support show transaction isolation level in 7.3
  - changed DatabaseMetaDataTest to handle differences in FK names in 7.3
  - better fix for dynamically checking server NAME data length
  (With the fixes above the jdbc regression tests pass on jdbc2 and jdbc3
   against both a 7.2 and 7.3 server)
