1934055cbe Please find a small patch to fix the brain damage "century" and
"millennium" date part implementation in postgresql, both in the code
and the documentation, so that it conforms to the official definition.
If you do not agree with the official definition, please send your
complaint to "pope@vatican.org". I'm not responsible for them;-)

With the previous version, the centuries and millenniums had a wrong
number and started the wrong year. Moreover century number 0, which does
not exist in reality, lasted 200 years. Also, millennium number 0 lasted
2000 years.

If you want postgresql to have it's own definition of "century" and
"millennium" that does not conform to the one of the society, just give
them another name. I would suggest "pgCENTURY" and "pgMILLENNIUM";-)

IMO, if someone may use the options, it means that postgresql is used for
historical data, so it make sense to have an historical definition. Also,
I just want to divide the year by 100 or 1000, I can do that quite easily.

OK, here is a patch that implements #1.  Here is sample output:

        test=> set client_min_messages = 'log';
        SET
        test=> set log_statement = 'mod';
        SET
        test=> select 1;
         ?column?
        ----------
                1
        (1 row)

        test=> update test set x=1;
        LOG:  statement: update test set x=1;
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> update test set x=1;
        LOG:  statement: update test set x=1;
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> copy test from '/tmp/x';
        LOG:  statement: copy test from '/tmp/x';
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> copy test to  '/tmp/x';
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> prepare xx as select 1;
        PREPARE
        test=> prepare xx as update x set y=1;
        LOG:  statement: prepare xx as update x set y=1;
        ERROR:  relation "x" does not exist
        test=> explain analyze select 1;;
                                             QUERY PLAN
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Result  (cost=0.00..0.01 rows=1 width=0) (actual time=0.006..0.007 rows=1 loops=1)
         Total runtime: 0.046 ms
        (2 rows)

        test=> explain analyze update test set x=1;
        LOG:  statement: explain analyze update test set x=1;
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> explain update test set x=1;
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist

It checks PREPARE and EXECUTE ANALYZE too.  The log_statement values are
'none', 'mod', 'ddl', and 'all'.  For 'all', it prints before the query
is parsed, and for ddl/mod, it does it right after parsing using the
node tag (or command tag for CREATE/ALTER/DROP), so any non-parse errors
will print after the log line.

375369acd1 Replace TupleTableSlot convention for whole-row variables and function
results with tuples as ordinary varlena Datums.  This commit does not
in itself do much for us, except eliminate the horrid memory leak
associated with evaluation of whole-row variables.  However, it lays the
groundwork for allowing composite types as table columns, and perhaps
some other useful features as well.  Per my proposal of a few days ago.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  In keeping with the recent discussion that there should be more
said about views, stored procedures, and triggers, in the tutorial, I
have added a bit of verbiage to that end.

2.  Some formatting changes to the datetime discussion, as well as
addition of a citation of a relevant book on calendars.

24614a9880 Upgrade ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN so that it can drop an OID column, and
remove separate implementation of ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS in favor
of doing a regular DROP.  Also, cause CREATE TABLE to account completely
correctly for the inheritance status of the OID column.  This fixes
problems with dropping OID columns that have dependencies, as noted by
Christopher Kings-Lynne, as well as making sure that you can't drop an
OID column that was inherited from a parent.
