PostgreSQL support for bulk alter table

Reported by Michał Łomnicki | February 5th, 2011 @ 07:55 PM

Bulk alter table allows to do multiple schema changes using one statement. This is both atomic and more efficient than traditional method.

@@@sql
ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN verified_at TIMESTAMP;
ALTER TABLE users ALTER COLUMN failed_logins SET DEFAULT 0;

@@@sql
ALTER TABLE users ADD COLUMN verified_at TIMESTAMP, ALTER COLUMN failed_logins SET DEFAULT 0;

The patch is based on recently commited MySQL bulk alter table.
Unlinke MySQL, PostgreSQL doesn't support adding/removing indexes inside ALTER TABLE so that feature was disabled for PostgreSQLAdapter.
