Thread: review: create if not exists

Hello,

this patch introduces IF NOT EXISTS clause to CREATE (AGGREGATE | CAST |COLATION |DOMAIN |ROLE |SEQUENCE |SEARCH CONFIGURATION |SEARCH DICTIONARY | SEARCH PARSE | SEARCH TEMPLATE | TYPE). Implemented feature was discussed more times in spring and summer, and this patch was ready for commit in summer. Fabrízio reflected all reviewers comments. I primary checked a consistency of related patch.

* all new functionality (syntax) is well documented

* there are no any compilation warning related to implemented feature

* all new functionality is tested in regress tests

* new code fully respects PostgreSQL coding standards

* new code is almost mechanical - and enough documented

* new functionality has no impact on performance

* new functionality doesn't need a changes in pg_dump

This patch is ready for commit

Regards

Pavel Stehule
