Subject: Add an implicit cast from varchar to regclass, so that existing code
X-Git-Tag: REL8_1_0BETA4~11
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ef3b7cd3282a50b382b0ae76f8b6fe541d52b857;p=postgresql

Add an implicit cast from varchar to regclass, so that existing code
of the form nextval('foo'::varchar) doesn't break.  Per gripe from
Jean-Pierre Pelletier.  Initdb forced :-(
