Hi.
Rebase because of
https://git.postgresql.org/cgit/postgresql.git/commit/?id=a4639d64e2199885f8e995395b6fe874cb7228bf
I also simplified the code a little bit, polished the comments, and
merged 3 patches into one, no major changes.
Below is the commit message:
Subject: [PATCH v14 1/1] Whole-row fixes for DROP COLUMN, SET COLUMN DATA TYPE
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN should remove indexes or constraints contain whole-row
references, just like non-whole-row column.
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN should fail if a trigger WHEN clause or row-level
security policy contains a whole-row reference. To do this, record a dependency
between the relation and the trigger or policy in
RememberWholeRowDependentForRebuilding; performMultipleDeletions then handles
the deletion checks.
ALTER COLUMN SET DATA TYPE fundamentally changes the table’s record type; At
present, we cannot compare records that contain columns of dissimilar types, see
function record_eq. As a result, ALTER COLUMN SET DATA TYPE does not work for
whole-row reference objects (such as constraints and indexes), and must
therefore raise an error.
