b09c248bdd Fix PGXS conventions so that extensions can be built against Postgres
installations whose pg_config program does not appear first in the PATH.
Per gripe from Eddie Stanley and subsequent discussions with Fabien Coelho
and others.

90d76525c5 Add resetStringInfo(), which clears the content of a StringInfo, and
fixup various places in the tree that were clearing a StringInfo by hand.
Making this function a part of the API simplifies client code slightly,
and avoids needlessly peeking inside the StringInfo interface.

3f50ba27cf Create infrastructure for 'MinimalTuple' representation of in-memory
tuples with less header overhead than a regular HeapTuple, per my
recent proposal.  Teach TupleTableSlot code how to deal with these.
As proof of concept, change tuplestore.c to store MinimalTuples instead
of HeapTuples.  Future patches will expand the concept to other places
where it is useful.

0d9742f99a Attached is a patch that replaces a bunch of places where StringInfos
are unnecessarily allocated on the heap rather than the stack. If the
StringInfo doesn't outlive the stack frame in which it is created,
there is no need to allocate it on the heap via makeStringInfo() --
stack allocation is faster.  While it's not a big deal unless the
code is in a critical path, I don't see a reason not to save a few
cycles -- using stack allocation is not less readable.

I also cleaned up a bit of code along the way: moved variable
declarations into a more tightly-enclosing scope where possible,
fixed some pointless copying of strings in dblink, etc.

8e5a10d46c This patch makes the error message strings throughout the backend
more compliant with the error message style guide. In particular,
errdetail should begin with a capital letter and end with a period,
whereas errmsg should not. I also fixed a few related issues in
passing, such as fixing the repeated misspelling of "lexeme" in
contrib/tsearch2 (per Tom's suggestion).

e92a88272e Modify hash_search() API to prevent future occurrences of the error
spotted by Qingqing Zhou.  The HASH_ENTER action now automatically
fails with elog(ERROR) on out-of-memory --- which incidentally lets
us eliminate duplicate error checks in quite a bunch of places.  If
you really need the old return-NULL-on-out-of-memory behavior, you
can ask for HASH_ENTER_NULL.  But there is now an Assert in that path
checking that you aren't hoping to get that behavior in a palloc-based
hash table.
Along the way, remove the old HASH_FIND_SAVE/HASH_REMOVE_SAVED actions,
which were not being used anywhere anymore, and were surely too ugly
and unsafe to want to see revived again.

b2c4071299 Redesign query-snapshot timing so that volatile functions in READ COMMITTED
mode see a fresh snapshot for each command in the function, rather than
using the latest interactive command's snapshot.  Also, suppress fresh
snapshots as well as CommandCounterIncrement inside STABLE and IMMUTABLE
functions, instead using the snapshot taken for the most closely nested
regular query.  (This behavior is only sane for read-only functions, so
the patch also enforces that such functions contain only SELECT commands.)
As per my proposal of 6-Sep-2004; I note that I floated essentially the
same proposal on 19-Jun-2002, but that discussion tailed off without any
action.  Since 8.0 seems like the right place to be taking possibly
nontrivial backwards compatibility hits, let's get it done now.

375369acd1 Replace TupleTableSlot convention for whole-row variables and function
results with tuples as ordinary varlena Datums.  This commit does not
in itself do much for us, except eliminate the horrid memory leak
associated with evaluation of whole-row variables.  However, it lays the
groundwork for allowing composite types as table columns, and perhaps
some other useful features as well.  Per my proposal of a few days ago.

54f7338fa1 This patch implements holdable cursors, following the proposal
(materialization into a tuple store) discussed on pgsql-hackers earlier.
I've updated the documentation and the regression tests.

Notes on the implementation:

- I needed to change the tuple store API slightly -- it assumes that it
won't be used to hold data across transaction boundaries, so the temp
files that it uses for on-disk storage are automatically reclaimed at
end-of-transaction. I added a flag to tuplestore_begin_heap() to control
this behavior. Is changing the tuple store API in this fashion OK?

- in order to store executor results in a tuple store, I added a new
CommandDest. This works well for the most part, with one exception: the
current DestFunction API doesn't provide enough information to allow the
Executor to store results into an arbitrary tuple store (where the
particular tuple store to use is chosen by the call site of
ExecutorRun). To workaround this, I've temporarily hacked up a solution
that works, but is not ideal: since the receiveTuple DestFunction is
passed the portal name, we can use that to lookup the Portal data
structure for the cursor and then use that to get at the tuple store the
Portal is using. This unnecessarily ties the Portal code with the
tupleReceiver code, but it works...

The proper fix for this is probably to change the DestFunction API --
Tom suggested passing the full QueryDesc to the receiveTuple function.
In that case, callers of ExecutorRun could "subclass" QueryDesc to add
any additional fields that their particular CommandDest needed to get
access to. This approach would work, but I'd like to think about it for
a little bit longer before deciding which route to go. In the mean time,
the code works fine, so I don't think a fix is urgent.

- (semi-related) I added a NO SCROLL keyword to DECLARE CURSOR, and
adjusted the behavior of SCROLL in accordance with the discussion on
-hackers.

- (unrelated) Cleaned up some SGML markup in sql.sgml, copy.sgml

64d0b8b05f Attached is an update to contrib/tablefunc. It implements a new hashed
version of crosstab. This fixes a major deficiency in real-world use of
the original version. Easiest to undestand with an illustration:

Data:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
select * from cth;
  id | rowid |        rowdt        |   attribute    |      val
----+-------+---------------------+----------------+---------------
   1 | test1 | 2003-03-01 00:00:00 | temperature    | 42
   2 | test1 | 2003-03-01 00:00:00 | test_result    | PASS
   3 | test1 | 2003-03-01 00:00:00 | volts          | 2.6987
   4 | test2 | 2003-03-02 00:00:00 | temperature    | 53
   5 | test2 | 2003-03-02 00:00:00 | test_result    | FAIL
   6 | test2 | 2003-03-02 00:00:00 | test_startdate | 01 March 2003
   7 | test2 | 2003-03-02 00:00:00 | volts          | 3.1234
(7 rows)

Original crosstab:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT * FROM crosstab(
   'SELECT rowid, attribute, val FROM cth ORDER BY 1,2',4)
AS c(rowid text, temperature text, test_result text, test_startdate
text, volts text);
  rowid | temperature | test_result | test_startdate | volts
-------+-------------+-------------+----------------+--------
  test1 | 42          | PASS        | 2.6987         |
  test2 | 53          | FAIL        | 01 March 2003  | 3.1234
(2 rows)

Hashed crosstab:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT * FROM crosstab(
   'SELECT rowid, attribute, val FROM cth ORDER BY 1',
   'SELECT DISTINCT attribute FROM cth ORDER BY 1')
AS c(rowid text, temperature int4, test_result text, test_startdate
timestamp, volts float8);
  rowid | temperature | test_result |   test_startdate    | volts
-------+-------------+-------------+---------------------+--------
  test1 |          42 | PASS        |                     | 2.6987
  test2 |          53 | FAIL        | 2003-03-01 00:00:00 | 3.1234
(2 rows)

Notice that the original crosstab slides data over to the left in the
result tuple when it encounters missing data. In order to work around
this you have to be make your source sql do all sorts of contortions
(cartesian join of distinct rowid with distinct attribute; left join
that back to the real source data). The new version avoids this by
building a hash table using a second distinct attribute query.

The new version also allows for "extra" columns (see the README) and
allows the result columns to be coerced into differing datatypes if they
are suitable (as shown above).

In testing a "real-world" data set (69 distinct rowid's, 27 distinct
categories/attributes, multiple missing data points) I saw about a
5-fold improvement in execution time (from about 2200 ms old, to 440 ms
new).

I left the original version intact because: 1) BC, 2) it is probably
slightly faster if you know that you have no missing attributes.

README and regression test adjustments included. If there are no
objections, please apply.

aa60eecc37 Revise tuplestore and nodeMaterial so that we don't have to read the
entire contents of the subplan into the tuplestore before we can return
any tuples.  Instead, the tuplestore holds what we've already read, and
we fetch additional rows from the subplan as needed.  Random access to
the previously-read rows works with the tuplestore, and doesn't affect
the state of the partially-read subplan.  This is a step towards fixing
the problems with cursors over complex queries --- we don't want to
stick in Materialize nodes if they'll prevent quick startup for a cursor.
