hashjoin's hashFunc() so that it does the right thing with pass-by-value
data types (the old code would always return 0 for int2 or char values,
which would work but would slow things down a lot). Extend opr_sanity
regress test to catch more kinds of errors.
function is found in prosrc field of pg_proc, not proname. This allows
multiple aliases of a built-in to all be implemented as direct builtins,
without needing a level of indirection through an SQL function. Replace
existing SQL alias functions with builtin entries accordingly.
Save a few K by not storing string names of builtin functions in fmgr's
internal table (if you really want 'em, get 'em from pg_proc...).
Update opr_sanity with a few more cross-checks.
I would like some feedback on what the hash function for the int8 hash
function
in the ./backend/access/hash/hashfunc.c should return.
Also, could someone (maybe Tomas Lockhart?) look-over the patch and make
sure
the system table entries are correct? I've tried to research them as
much as I
could, but some of them are still not clear to me.
Thanks,

and pg_operator. The lone error in pg_operator was reported as a bug
by Michael Reifenberger; the multiple errors in pg_proc would only have
been noticed if one invoked the functions by name rather than using
operator syntax. I guess few people do that.
a field was labelled as a primary key, the system automatically
created a unique index on the field. This patch extends it so
that the index has the indisprimary field set. You can pull a list
of primary keys with the followiing select.
SELECT pg_class.relname, pg_attribute.attname
FROM pg_class, pg_attribute, pg_index
WHERE pg_class.oid = pg_attribute.attrelid AND
pg_class.oid = pg_index.indrelid AND
pg_index.indkey[0] = pg_attribute.attnum AND
pg_index.indisunique = 't';
There is nothing in this patch that modifies the template database to
set the indisprimary attribute for system tables. Should they be
changed or should we only be concerned with user tables?

Fix one usage of substr() which mapped to the "Oracle compatibility" funcs
rather than the more recent (and closer to SQL92) function in varlena.c.
Add more DESC() entries for conversion functions.
oprlsortop and oprrsortop links. There's still a bug involving
conflicting definitions for point @ path, but I'm not taking
responsibility for deciding which one is right...
for against a just updated CVS tree. It contains
Partial new rewrite system that handles subselects, view
aggregate columns, insert into select from view, updates
with set col = view-value and select rules restriction to
view definition.
Updates for rule/view backparsing utility functions to
handle subselects correct.
New system views pg_tables and pg_indexes (where you can
see the complete index definition in the latter one).
Enabling array references on query parameters.
Bugfix for functional index.
Little changes to system views pg_rules and pg_views.
The rule system isn't a release-stopper any longer.
But another stopper is that I don't know if the latest
changes to PL/pgSQL (not already in CVS) made it compile on
AIX. Still wait for some response from Dave.
