Thread: Bug #552: src/backend/catalog/README

Holger Krug (hkrug@rationalizer.com) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
src/backend/catalog/README

Long Description
src/backend/catalog/README:

tuples are in fact present.  That is, only the variable-length
portions of a catalog tuple are assumed to be permitted to be
>>>non-NULL<<<.  For example, if you set pg_type.typdelim to be NULL, a
piece of code will likely perform "typetup->typdelim" (or, worse,

Should be `NULL' in all places !!

Sample Code
