Tom Lane da83b1ea10 Avoid depending on post-UPDATE row order in float4/float8 tests.
While heapam reproduces the insertion order of rows well, updates
can move rows to varying places depending on autovacuum activity.
In most regression tests we've guarded against getting variable
results due to that, but float4.sql and float8.sql had escaped
notice so far because they update tables that are too small for
autovacuum to pay attention to.

With increasing interest in non-heap table AMs, it seems worth
allowing for update behaviors that are not like heapam's.  Hence,
add ORDER BY to stabilize the results in case the updates put
the rows in a different order.  (We'll continue to assume that a
seqscan will reproduce original insertion order, though.  Removing
that assumption would require vastly-more-invasive test changes.)

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
