Peter Eisentraut dd13ad9d39 Fix use of cursor sensitivity terminology Documentation and comments in code and tests have been using the terms sensitive/insensitive cursor incorrectly relative to the SQL standard. (Cursor sensitivity is only relevant for changes made in the same transaction as the cursor, not for concurrent changes in other sessions.) Moreover, some of the behavior of PostgreSQL is incorrect according to the SQL standard, confusing the issue further. (WHERE CURRENT OF changes are not visible in insensitive cursors, but they should be.) This change corrects the terminology and removes the claim that sensitive cursors are supported. It also adds a test case that checks the insensitive behavior in a "correct" way, using a change command not using WHERE CURRENT OF. Finally, it adds the ASENSITIVE cursor option to select the default asensitive behavior, per SQL standard. There are no changes to cursor behavior in this patch.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
