This reduces unnecessary exposure of other headers through htup.h, which
is very widely included by many files.
I have chosen to move the function prototypes to the new file as well,
because that means htup.h no longer needs to include tupdesc.h. In
itself this doesn't have much effect in indirect inclusion of tupdesc.h
throughout the tree, because it's also required by execnodes.h; but it's
something to explore in the future, and it seemed best to do the htup.h
change now while I'm busy with it.
We allow non-superusers to create procedural languages (with restrictions)
and range datatypes. Previously, the automatically-created support
functions for these objects ended up owned by the creating user. This
represents a rather considerable security hazard, because the owning user
might be able to alter a support function's definition in such a way as to
crash the server, inject trojan-horse SQL code, or even execute arbitrary
C code directly. It appears that right now the only actually exploitable
problem is the infinite-recursion bug fixed in the previous patch for
CVE-2012-2655. However, it's not hard to imagine that future additions of
more ALTER FUNCTION capability might unintentionally open up new hazards.
To forestall future problems, cause these support functions to be owned by
the bootstrap superuser, not the user creating the parent object.
This allows loadable modules to get control at drop time, perhaps for the
purpose of performing additional security checks or to log the event.
The initial purpose of this code is to support sepgsql, but other
applications should be possible as well.

We don't normally allow quals to be pushed down into a view created
with the security_barrier option, but functions without side effects
are an exception: they're OK. This allows much better performance in
common cases, such as when using an equality operator (that might
even be indexable).
There is an outstanding issue here with the CREATE FUNCTION / ALTER
FUNCTION syntax: there's no way to use ALTER FUNCTION to unset the
leakproof flag. But I'm committing this as-is so that it doesn't
have to be rebased again; we can fix up the grammar in a future
commit.
KaiGai Kohei, with some wordsmithing by me.
This gets rid of an impressive amount of duplicative code, with only
minimal behavior changes. DROP FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER now requires object
ownership rather than superuser privileges, matching the documentation
we already have. We also eliminate the historical warning about dropping
a built-in function as unuseful. All operations are now performed in the
same order for all object types handled by dropcmds.c.
KaiGai Kohei, with minor revisions by me
A very long time ago, language names were specified as literals rather
than identifiers, so this code was added to do case-folding. But that
style has ben deprecated for many years so this isn't needed any more.
Language names will still be downcased when specified as unquoted
identifiers, but quoted identifiers or the old style using string
literals will be left as-is.
The original implementation simply did nothing when replacing an existing
object during CREATE EXTENSION. The folly of this was exposed by a report
from Marc Munro: if the existing object belongs to another extension, we
are left in an inconsistent state. We should insist that the object does
not belong to another extension, and then add it to the current extension
if not already a member.
This patch adds the server infrastructure to support extensions.
There is still one significant loose end, namely how to make it play nice
with pg_upgrade, so I am not yet committing the changes that would make
all the contrib modules depend on this feature.
In passing, fix a disturbingly large amount of breakage in
AlterObjectNamespace() and callers.

After a SQL object is created, we provide an opportunity for security
or logging plugins to get control; for example, a security label provider
could use this to assign an initial security label to newly created
objects. The basic infrastructure is (hopefully) reusable for other types
of events that might require similar treatment.

Thanks to KaiGai Kohei for the review.
This operates in the same way as other CREATE OR REPLACE commands, ie,
it replaces everything but the ownership and ACL lists of an existing
entry, and requires the caller to have owner privileges for that entry.
While modifying an existing language has some use in development scenarios,
in typical usage all the "replaced" values come from pg_pltemplate so there
will be no actual change in the language definition. The reason for adding
this is mainly to allow programs to ensure that a language exists without
triggering an error if it already does exist.
This commit just adds and documents the new option. A followon patch
will use it to clean up some unpleasant cases in pg_dump and pg_regress.
The purpose of this change is to eliminate the need for every caller
of SearchSysCache, SearchSysCacheCopy, SearchSysCacheExists,
GetSysCacheOid, and SearchSysCacheList to know the maximum number
of allowable keys for a syscache entry (currently 4). This will
make it far easier to increase the maximum number of keys in a
future release should we choose to do so, and it makes the code
shorter, too.

to create a function for it.
Procedural languages now have an additional entry point, namely a function
to execute an inline code block. This seemed a better design than trying
to hide the transient-ness of the code from the PL. As of this patch, only
plpgsql has an inline handler, but probably people will soon write handlers
for the other standard PLs.
In passing, remove the long-dead LANCOMPILER option of CREATE LANGUAGE.

distinction between the external API (parser.h) and declarations that only
need to be visible within the raw parser code (gramparse.h, which now is only
included by parser.c, gram.y, scan.l, and keywords.c). This is in preparation
for the upcoming change to a reentrant lexer, which will require referencing
YYSTYPE in the declarations of base_yylex and filtered_base_yylex, hence
gram.h will have to be included by gramparse.h. We don't want any more files
than absolutely necessary to depend on gram.h, so some cleanup is called for.
so that user-defined window functions are possible. For the moment you'll
have to write them in C, for lack of any interface to the WindowObject API
in the available PLs, but it's better than no support at all.
There was some debate about the best syntax for this. I ended up choosing
the "it's an attribute" position --- the other approach will inevitably be
more work, and the likely market for user-defined window functions is
probably too small to justify it.
and heap_deformtuple in favor of the newer functions heap_form_tuple et al
(which do the same things but use bool control flags instead of arbitrary
char values). Eliminate the former duplicate coding of these functions,
reducing the deprecated functions to mere wrappers around the newer ones.
We can't get rid of them entirely because add-on modules probably still
contain many instances of the old coding style.

certain highly-loaded headers such as rel.h and relscan.h, instead using just
relcache.h, heapam.h or genam.h, which are more lightweight and thus cause less
unnecessary dependencies.
inclusions in src/include/catalog/*.h files. The main idea here is to push
function declarations for src/backend/catalog/*.c files into separate headers,
rather than sticking them into the corresponding catalog definition file as
has been done in the past. This commit only carries out that idea fully for
pg_proc, pg_type and pg_conversion, but that's enough for the moment ---
if pg_list.h ever becomes unsafe for frontend code to include, we'll need
to work a bit more.

strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text,
cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and
two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of
existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed.
Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one
function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used
to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin,
and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via
memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though).
This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory
leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach
text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few
places where it was easy, but much more could be done.

There are still some loose ends: I didn't do anything about the SET FROM
CURRENT idea yet, and it's not real clear whether we are happy with the
interaction of SET LOCAL with function-local settings. The documentation
is a bit spartan, too.
A DBA is allowed to create a language in his database if it's marked
"tmpldbacreate" in pg_pltemplate. The factory default is that this is set
for all standard trusted languages, but of course a superuser may adjust
the settings. In service of this, add the long-foreseen owner column to
pg_language; renaming, dropping, and altering owner of a PL now follow
normal ownership rules instead of being superuser-only.
Jeremy Drake, with some editorialization by Tom Lane.
columns procost and prorows, to allow simple user adjustment of the estimated
cost of a function call, as well as control of the estimated number of rows
returned by a set-returning function. We might eventually wish to extend this
to allow function-specific estimation routines, but there seems to be
consensus that we should try a simple constant estimate first. In particular
this provides a relatively simple way to control the order in which different
WHERE clauses are applied in a plan node, which is a Good Thing in view of the
fact that the recent EquivalenceClass planner rewrite made that much less
predictable than before.

as per my recent proposal. For now the template data is hard-wired in
proclang.c --- this should be replaced later by a new shared system
catalog, but we don't want to force initdb during 8.1 beta. This change
lets us cleanly load existing dump files even if they contain outright
wrong information about a PL's support functions, such as a wrong path
to the shared library or a missing validator function. Also, we can
revert the recent kluges to make pg_dump dump PL support functions that
are stored in pg_catalog.
While at it, I removed the code in pg_regress that replaced $libdir
with a hardcoded path for temporary installations. This is no longer
needed given our support for relocatable installations.

indexes. Extend the macros in include/catalog/*.h to carry the info
about hand-assigned OIDs, and adjust the genbki script and bootstrap
code to make the relations actually get those OIDs. Remove the small
number of RelOid_pg_foo macros that we had in favor of a complete
set named like the catname.h and indexing.h macros. Next phase will
get rid of internal use of names for looking up catalogs and indexes;
but this completes the changes forcing an initdb, so it looks like a
good place to commit.
Along the way, I made the shared relations (pg_database etc) not be
'bootstrap' relations any more, so as to reduce the number of hardwired
entries and simplify changing those relations in future. I'm not
sure whether they ever really needed to be handled as bootstrap
relations, but it seems to work fine to not do so now.

hardwired lists of index names for each catalog, use the relcache's
mechanism for caching lists of OIDs of indexes of any table. This
reduces the common case of updating system catalog indexes to a single
line, makes it much easier to add a new system index (in fact, you
can now do so on-the-fly if you want to), and as a nice side benefit
improves performance a little. Per recent pghackers discussion.

Per Tom Lane's suggestion the information whether a tuple has an oid

tdhasoid is of type char, not bool. There are predefined values for

This patch has been generated against a cvs snapshot from last week
and I don't expect it to apply cleanly to current sources. While I
post it here for public review, I'm working on a new version against a
current snapshot. (There's been heavy activity recently; hope to
catch up some day ...)
This is a long patch; if it is too hard to swallow, I can provide it
in smaller pieces:
Part 1: Accessor macros
Part 2: tdhasoid in TupDesc
Part 3: Regression test
Part 4: Parameter withoid to heap_addheader
Part 5: Eliminate t_oid from HeapTupleHeader
Part 2 is the most hairy part because of changes in the executor and
even in the parser; the other parts are straightforward.
Up to part 4 the patched postmaster stays binary compatible to
databases created with an unpatched version. Part 5 is small (100
lines) and finally breaks compatibility.

pg_relcheck is gone; CHECK, UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY, and FOREIGN KEY

exists, and RESTRICT/CASCADE options work on most kinds of DROP;
however, pg_depend is not yet very well populated with dependencies.
(Most of the ones that are present at this point just replace formerly
hardwired associations, such as the implicit drop of a relation's pg_type
entry when the relation is dropped.) Need to add more logic to create
dependency entries, improve pg_dump to dump constraints in place of
indexes and triggers, and add some regression tests.

'NoLock' to do no lock processing). Ensure that all relations are locked
with some appropriate lock level before being examined --- this ensures
that relevant shared-inval messages have been processed and should prevent
problems caused by concurrent VACUUM. Fix several bugs having to do with
mismatched increment/decrement of relation ref count and mismatched
heap_open/close (which amounts to the same thing). A bogus ref count on
a relation doesn't matter much *unless* a SI Inval message happens to
arrive at the wrong time, which is probably why we got away with this
sloppiness for so long. Repair missing grab of AccessExclusiveLock in
DROP TABLE, ALTER/RENAME TABLE, etc, as noted by Hiroshi.
