* Code review for ON COMMIT patch. Make the actual on-commit action happenTom Lane2002-11-11
| | | | | | | | | before commit, not after :-( --- the original coding is not only unsafe if an error occurs while it's processing, but it generates an invalid sequence of WAL entries. Resurrect 7.2 logic for deleting items when no longer needed. Use an enum instead of random macros. Editorialize on names used for routines and constants. Teach backend/nodes routines about new field in CreateTable struct. Add a regression test.

* This patch makes a minor cleanup to the implementation of PERFORM inBruce Momjian2002-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | PL/PgSQL. Previously, it had been bundled together with the assign statement implementation, for some reason that wasn't clear to me (they certainly don't share any code with one another). So I separated them and made PERFORM a statement like any other. No changes in functionality. Along the way, I added some regression tests for PERFORM, added a bunch more SGML tags to the PL/PgSQL docs, and removed an obsolete comment relating to the implementation of RETURN NEXT. Neil Conway

* I'm using libpgtcl with PostgreSQL-7.2.3. There is a discrepancy betweenBruce Momjian2002-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | the documentation and behavior of "pg_result $res -oid" when $res is not from an INSERT. The documentation says it should return an empty string, but in fact it returns 0. I think it used to return an empty string around PostgreSQL-7.1.3 when PQoidStatus() was used, but now it uses PQoidValue() which returns InvalidOid, 0 in this case. Assuming the current behavior is desired, here is a patch to the documentation doc/src/sgml/libpgtcl.sgml to match what really happens: ljb
