Nathan Bossart 1de0a711db refint: Fix segfault in check_foreign_key().
When an UPDATE statement triggers check_foreign_key() with the
action set to "cascade", it generates more UPDATE statements to
modify the key values in referencing relations.  If a new key value
is NULL, SPI_getvalue() returns a NULL pointer, which is
subsequently passed to quote_literal_cstr(), causing a segfault.
To fix, skip quoting when a new key value is NULL and insert an
unquoted NULL keyword instead.

Oversight in commit 260e97733b.  While the refint documentation
recommends marking primary key columns NOT NULL, the aforementioned
scenario accidentally worked on platforms where snprintf()
substitutes "(null)" for NULL pointers.  Note that for
character-type columns, the old code quoted "(null)" as a string
literal, so this didn't always produce correct results.  But it
still seems better to fix this than to reject cases that previously
worked.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
