value of MAX_TIME_PRECISION in floating-point-timestamp-storage case
from 13 to 10, which is as much as time_out is actually willing to print.
(The alternative of increasing the number of digits we are willing to
print looks risky; we might find ourselves printing roundoff garbage.)
that's selecting into a RECORD variable returns zero rows, make it
assign an all-nulls row to the RECORD; this is consistent with what
happens when the SELECT INTO target is not a RECORD. In support of
this, tweak the SPI code so that a valid tuple descriptor is returned
even when a SPI select returns no rows.

results due to doing arithmetic on uninitialized values. Add some
documentation about the AT TIME ZONE construct. Update some other
date/time documentation that seemed out of date for 7.3.
database access outside a transaction; revert bogus performance improvement
in SIBackendInit(); improve comments; add documentation (this part courtesy
Neil Conway).
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:
