The original coding had three separate booleans representing partial aggregation behavior, which was confusing, unreadable, and error-prone, not least because the booleans weren't always listed in the same order. It was also inadequate for the allegedly-desirable future extension to support intermediate partial aggregation, because we'd need separate markers for serialization and deserialization in such a case. Merge these bools into an enum "AggSplit" to provide symbolic names for the supported operating modes (and document what those are). By assigning the values of the enum constants carefully, we can treat AggSplit values as options bitmasks so that tests of what to do aren't noticeably more expensive than before. While at it, get rid of Aggref.aggoutputtype. That's not needed since commit 59a3795c2 got rid of setrefs.c's special-purpose Aggref comparison code, and it likewise seemed more confusing than helpful. Assorted comment cleanup as well (there's still more that I want to do in that line). catversion bump for change in Aggref node contents. Should be the last one for partial-aggregation changes.

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: http://www.postgresql.org/download 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.
