This reverts commit a06e41de of 2011-01-26.
Per discussion, this behavior is not wanted, as it would need to change if
we ever made composite types support DEFAULT.

paragraphs, per suggestion from Dan Birken.

In the case where the initial call of systable_getnext_ordered() returned
NULL, this function would nonetheless call it again.  That's undefined
behavior that only by chance failed to not give visibly incorrect results.
Put an if-test around the final loop to prevent that, and in passing
improve some comments.  No back-patch since there's no actual failure.

Per report from YAMAMOTO Takashi.

Synchronize pg_config.h.in with configure.in (someone must have
forgotten to run autoheader or autoreconf), and clean up some spurious
change in configure introduced by the last commit there.

It is redundant, given the error context.

Jan Urbański

Use the built-in TypeError, not SPIError, for errors having to do with
argument counts or types.  Use SPIError, not simply plpy.Error, for
errors in PLy_spi_execute_plan.  Finally, do not set a Python
exception if PyArg_ParseTuple failed, as it already sets the correct
exception.

Jan Urbański

The temporarily broken plpython_unicode test shows a case where this
is used.

Do remaining fix-ups on the expected files at the same time.

Older versions of GCC appear to report these with the current standard
option set, newer versions need -Wformat-security.

sections, rather than just calling it "/contrib/module_name".

Also update pg_test_fsync build instructions now that it is in /contrib.

non-durable items, per Robert Haas.

Noah Misch, slightly revised.

The previous coding prevented ALTER TABLE .. ADD COLUMN from being used
with a non-NULL default in situations where the table's rowtype was being
used elsewhere.  But this is a completely arbitrary restriction since
you could do the same operation in multiple steps (add the column, add
the default, update the table).

Inspired by a patch from Noah Misch, though I didn't use his code.

always 8k writes, per suggestion from Tom.  Also adjust open_sync output
layout.

The latter is the correct name of the operation to change the data type
of a column.

Noah Misch

We used to do that on pg_listener, but pg_listener is no more.

Also add a bit more documentation for ShareRowExclusive mode.

Noah Misch

There isn't any need to track this state on a table-wide basis, and trying
to do so introduces undesirable semantic fuzziness.  Move the flag to
pg_index, where it clearly describes just a single index and can be
immutable after index creation.

This feature allows a unique or pkey constraint to be created using an
already-existing unique index.  While the constraint isn't very
functionally different from the bare index, it's nice to be able to do that
for documentation purposes.  The main advantage over just issuing a plain
ALTER TABLE ADD UNIQUE/PRIMARY KEY is that the index can be created with
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY, so that there is not a long interval where the
table is locked against updates.

On the way, refactor some of the code in DefineIndex() and index_create()
so that we don't have to pass through those functions in order to create
the index constraint's catalog entries.  Also, in parse_utilcmd.c, pass
around the ParseState pointer in struct CreateStmtContext to save on
notation, and add error location pointers to some error reports that didn't
have one before.

it is 8k as expected.

This option was recently introduced, but the documentation in help.c
was not updated.

This way errors from fetching tuples are correctly reported as errors
in the SPI call.  While at it, avoid palloc(0).

Jan Urbański

Instead of checking whether the arglist is NULL and then if its length
is 0, do it in one step, and outside of the try/catch block.

In passing, change exclusion in the build to follow the
same pattern as other always-excluded modules.

This is still pretty rough - among other things, the documentation
needs work, and the messages need a visit from the style police -
but this gets the basic framework in place.

While doing this, also move base backup options into
a struct instead of increasing the number of parameters
to multiple functions for each new option.
