pointed out by Barry Lind: UPDATE bigintcol = 10000000000 fails because
the constant is initially taken as float8.  We really need a better way,
but it's not gonna happen for 7.3.

Also, remove int4reltime() function, which is redundant with the
existing binary-compatibility coercion path from int4 to reltime,
and probably has been unreachable code for a long while.

type for runtime constraint checks, instead of misusing the parse-time
Constraint node for the purpose.  Fix some damage introduced into type
coercion logic; in particular ensure that a coerced expression tree will
read out the correct result type when inspected (patch had broken some
RelabelType cases).  Enforce domain NOT NULL constraints against columns
that are omitted from an INSERT.

you try to use the tupdesc to build a tuple.

plpgsql RETURN NEXT to verify that returned values match the expected

to false provides more SQL-spec-compliant behavior than we had before.
I am not sure that setting it false is actually a good idea yet; there
is a lot of client-side code that will probably be broken by turning
autocommit off.  But it's a start.

Loosely based on a patch by David Van Wie.

I've attached a patch which should fix these problems.

diffs to 7.3-devel and may not be applicable to 7.2. I have included a
change covered by a previous bugfix patch I submitted (the problem with
-.1 not being accepted by cube_in). It does not include a fix for the
potential buffer overrun issue I reported for cube_yyerror in
cubeparse.y.

connections by the superuser only.

This patch replaces the last patch I sent a couple of days ago.

It closes a connection that has not been authorised by a superuser if it would
leave less than the GUC variable ReservedBackends
(superuser_reserved_connections in postgres.conf) backend process slots free
in the SISeg. This differs to the first patch which only reserved the last
ReservedBackends slots in the procState array. This has made the free slot
test more expensive due to the use of a lock.

After thinking about a comment on the first patch I've also made it a fatal
error if the number of reserved slots is not less than the maximum number of
connections.
