The basic capability is done, but a number of supporting capabilities
remain. These are the ones I hope to have done for 7.3:
- PL/pgSQL table function support: not started, but I may get help with this.
- anonymous composite types: patch submitted
- stand-alone composite types: proposal submitted
- implicit stand-alone composite types on CREATE FUNCTION: proposal submitted
- Move show_all_settings() from contrib/tablefunc to the backend and create a system view using the same method as
Neil'spg_locks view.
Additional refinements (streaming vs tuplestore, rescan pushed from
planner to executor, etc) will be 7.4 items.
Additionally on my personal TODO for 7.3 are:
- modify contrib/dblink to take advantage of table function and new composite type capabilities
- submit string manipulation functions discussed with Thomas a few weeks ago --> replace(), to_hex(), extract_tok()
