Tom Lane 90f8b4be5b Prevent multicolumn expansion of "foo.*" in an UPDATE source expression.
Because we use transformTargetList() for UPDATE as well as SELECT
tlists, the code accidentally tried to expand a "*" reference into
several columns.  This is nonsensical, because the UPDATE syntax
provides exactly one target column to put the value into.  The
immediate result was that transformUpdateTargetList() got confused
and reported "UPDATE target count mismatch --- internal error".
It seems better to treat such a reference as a plain whole-row
variable, as it would be in other contexts.  (This could produce
useful results when the target column is of composite type.)

Fix by tweaking transformTargetList() to perform *-expansion only
conditionally, depending on its exprKind parameter.

Back-patch to 9.3.  The problem exists further back, but a fix would be
much more invasive before that, because transformTargetList() wasn't
told what kind of list it was working on.  Doesn't seem worth the
trouble given the lack of field reports.  (I only noticed it because
I was checking the code while trying to improve the documentation about
how we handle "foo.*".)

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.
