index AM, not a row for each opclass name.  This allows pg_opclass to show
directly whether an AM supports an opclass, and furthermore makes it possible
to store additional information about an opclass that might be AM-dependent.
pg_opclass and pg_amop now store "lossy" and "haskeytype" information that we
previously expected the user to remember to provide in CREATE INDEX commands.
Lossiness is no longer an index-level property, but is associated with the
use of a particular operator in a particular index opclass.

pg_amop and pg_amproc entries.  I find this reduces backend launch time by

Thanks for your feedback (and patience).  Enclosed is my third
attempt at a patch to 7.1.2 to support Array.

[I think I've solved the mangled patch problem.  Hotmail seems to
try to format the text file, so gzipping it should solve this
problem.]

In this patch I've incorporated Barry's feedback.  Specifically:

1)  OIDs are no longer hard-coded into Array.java.  In order to
    support this change I added a getOID(String) method to Field.java
    which receives a PostgreSQL field type and returns a value from
    java.sql.Types.  I couldn't get away from using OIDs altogether
    because the JDBC spec for Array specifies that some methods return
    a ResultSet.  This requires I construct Field objects,
    which means I need OIDs.  At least this approach doesn't hard
    code these values.  A Hashtable cache has been added to Field
    so that an SQL lookup isn't necessary (following the model already
    in Field.java).

2)  Rewired the base formatting code in ResultSet.java to use 'to'
    methods, which are then exposed as static methods in ResultSet.
    These methods are used in Array to format the data without
    duplications in the code.

3)  Artifact call to first() in ResultSet.getArray() removed.

Attached is the patch requested by Tom Lane (see below). It
includes two changes in the JDBC driver:

1) When connected to a backend >= 7.2: use obj_description() and
col_description() instead of direct access to pg_description.

2) In DatabaseMetaData.getTables()/getColumns()/getProcedures():
when there is no comment on the object, return null in the
REMARKS column of the ResultSet, instead of the default string
"no remarks".

Change 2 first appeared as a side-effect of change 1, but it is
actually more compliant with the JDBC spec: "String object
containing an explanatory comment on the table/column/procedure,
which may be null". The default string "no remarks" was strictly
speaking incorrect, as it could not be distinguished from a real
user comment "no remarks". So I removed the default string
completely.

Change 2 might break existing code that doesn't follow the JDBC
spec and isn't prepared to handle a null in the REMARKS column
of getTables()/getColumns()/getProcedures.

Patch tested with jdbc2 against both a 7.1 and a CVS tip
backend. I did not have a jdbc1 environment to build and test
with, but since the touched code is identical in jdbc1 and jdbc2
I don't foresee any problems.

23 years agosum() on int2 and int4 columns now uses an int8, not numeric, accumulator

sum() on int2 and int4 columns now uses an int8, not numeric, accumulator
for speed reasons; its result type also changes to int8.  avg() on these
datatypes now accumulates the running sum in int8 for speed; but we still
deliver the final result as numeric, so that fractional accuracy is
preserved.

count() now counts and returns in int8, not int4.  I am a little nervous
about this possibly breaking users' code, but there didn't seem to be
a strong sentiment for avoiding the problem.  If we get complaints during
beta, we can change count back to int4 and add a "count8" aggregate.
For that matter, users can do it for themselves with a simple CREATE
AGGREGATE command; the int4inc function is still present, so no C hacking
is needed.

comparison, instead of piggybacking on int4 aggregates.
