== Submission review ==

* Is the patch in context diff format?

    Yes.

* Does it apply cleanly to the current CVS HEAD?

    Yes.

    patch -p1 < ../xpath_exists-3.patch 
    patching file doc/src/sgml/func.sgml
    Hunk #1 succeeded at 8642 (offset 16 lines).
    patching file src/backend/utils/adt/xml.c
    patching file src/include/catalog/pg_proc.h
    Hunk #1 succeeded at 4391 (offset 6 lines).
    patching file src/include/utils/xml.h
    patching file src/test/regress/expected/xml.out
    patching file src/test/regress/sql/xml.sql

* Does it include reasonable tests, necessary doc patches, etc?

    Tests:

        As this is new functionality, it doesn't really need to test
        much for interactions with other parts of the system.

        I'm not really an XML expert, so I'd like to punt as to
        whether it tests enough functionality.

        Minor quibble with the regression tests: should we be using
        dollar quotes in things like this?  Doubled-up quote marks:

        SELECT xpath_exists('//town[text() = 
''Cwmbran'']','<towns><town>Bidford-on-Avon</town><town>Cwmbran</town><town>Bristol</town></towns>'::xml);

        Dollar quote:

        SELECT xpath_exists($$//town[text() = 
'Cwmbran']$$,'<towns><town>Bidford-on-Avon</town><town>Cwmbran</town><town>Bristol</town></towns>'::xml);


    Doc patches: Good up to cross-Atlantic differences in spelling
    (speciali[sz]ed), e.g.

== Usability review ==  

Read what the patch is supposed to do, and consider:

* Does the patch actually implement that? 

    Yes.

* Do we want that? 

    Yes.

* Do we already have it? 

    Not really.  There are kludges to accomplish these things, but
    they're available mostly in the sense that a general-purpose
    language allows you to write code to do anything a Turing machine
    can do.

* Does it follow SQL spec, or the community-agreed behavior? 

    Yes.

* Does it include pg_dump support (if applicable)?

    Not applicable.

* Are there dangers? 

    Not that I can see.

* Have all the bases been covered?

    To the extent of my XML knowledge, yes.

== Feature test ==

Apply the patch, compile it and test:

* Does the feature work as advertised?

    Yes.

* Are there corner cases the author has failed to consider?

    Not that I've found.  See above re: XML and my vast ignorance of
    same.

* Are there any assertion failures or crashes?

    No.

== Performance review ==

* Does the patch slow down simple tests? 

    No.

* If it claims to improve performance, does it?

    No such claim made.  The kludges needed to reproduce the
    functionality would certainly consume an enormous number of
    developer hours, though.

* Does it slow down other things?

    Not that I've found.  There might be some minuscule slowing down
    of the code to the existence of more code paths, but we're a long,
    long way from having that be something other than noise.

== Coding review ==

Read the changes to the code in detail and consider:

* Does it follow the project 
[http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/source.html coding 
guidelines]? 

    Yes.

* Are there portability issues? 

    Not that I can see.

* Will it work on Windows/BSD etc? 

    Should do.

* Are the comments sufficient and accurate?

    Yes.

* Does it do what it says, correctly?

    Yes, subject to, etc.

* Does it produce compiler warnings?

    No.

* Can you make it crash?

    No.

== Architecture review ==

Consider the changes to the code in the context of the project as a whole:

* Is everything done in a way that fits together coherently with other 
features/modules? 

    Yes.

* Are there interdependencies that can cause problems?

    Not that I've found.

Cheers,
David.
