On second thought, "none" could mislead to think that you're connected a
database with that name. Duplicate the whole string, so that it can be
more easily translated. In back-branches, thought, just use an empty string
in place of the database name, to avoid adding a translatable string.
Previously, the -1 option was silently ignored.
Also, emit an error if -1 is used in a context where it won't be
respected, to avoid user confusion.
Original patch by Fabien COELHO, but this version is quite different
from the original submission.
They don't actually do anything yet; that will get fixed in a
follow-on commit. But this gets the basic infrastructure in place,
including CREATE/ALTER/DROP EVENT TRIGGER; support for COMMENT,
SECURITY LABEL, and ALTER EXTENSION .. ADD/DROP EVENT TRIGGER;
pg_dump and psql support; and documentation for the anticipated
initial feature set.
Dimitri Fontaine, with review and a bunch of additional hacking by me.
Thom Brown extensively reviewed earlier versions of this patch set,
but there's not a whole lot of that code left in this commit, as it
turns out.
Before, some places didn't document the short options (-? and -V),
some documented both, some documented nothing, and they were listed in
various orders. Now this is hopefully more consistent and complete.
Add new psql settings and command-line options to support setting the
field and record separators for unaligned output to a zero byte, for
easier interfacing with other shell tools.

This can be used to set (or unset) environment variables that will
affect programs called by psql (such as the PAGER), probably most
usefully in a .psqlrc file.

This adds the "auto" option to the \x command, which switches to the
expanded mode when the normal output would be wider than the screen.

Instead of displaying comments on an arbitrary subset of the object
types which support them, make \dd display comments on exactly those
object types which don't have their own backlash commands. We now
regard the display of comments as properly the job of the relevant
backslash command (though many of them do so only in verbose mode)
rather than something that \dd should be responsible for. However,
a handful of object types have no backlash command, so make \dd
give information about those.
Josh Kupershmidt
\dc and \dD now accept a "+" option, which will cause the comments to
be displayed. Along the way, correct a few oversights in the previous
commit in this area, 3b17efdfdd - namely,
(1) when \dL+ is used, make description still be the last column, for
consistency with what we've done elsewhere; and (2) document the
difference between \dC and \dC+.
Josh Kupershmidt, with a couple of doc changes by me.
The output of \dL (list languages) is fairly narrow, so we just always
display the comment. \dC (list casts) can get fairly wide, so we only
display comments if the new \dC+ option is specified.

\ir is short for "include relative"; when used from a script, the
supplied pathname will be interpreted relative to the input file,
rather than to the current working directory.

cleanup by me.
- collowner field
- CREATE COLLATION
- ALTER COLLATION
- DROP COLLATION
- COMMENT ON COLLATION
- integration with extensions
- pg_dump support for the above
- dependency management
- psql tab completion
- psql \dO command
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.

Foreign tables are a core component of SQL/MED. This commit does
not provide a working SQL/MED infrastructure, because foreign tables
cannot yet be queried. Support for foreign table scans will need to
be added in a future patch. However, this patch creates the necessary
system catalog structure, syntax support, and support for ancillary
operations such as COMMENT and SECURITY LABEL.

The previous wording might have suggested that \du only showed login roles
and \dg only group roles, but that is no longer the case.

and the editor's cursor will be initially placed on that line. In \e the
lines are counted with respect to the query buffer, while in \ef they are
counted with line 1 = first line of function body. These choices are useful
for positioning the cursor on the line of a previously-reported error.
To avoid assumptions about what switch the user's editor takes for this
purpose, invent a new psql variable EDITOR_LINENUMBER_SWITCH with (at
present) no default value.
One incompatibility from previous behavior is that "\e 1234" will now
take "1234" as a line number not a file name. There are at least two
ways to select a numerically-named file if you really want to.

Depending on which spec you read, field widths and precisions in %s may be
counted either in bytes or characters. Our code was assuming bytes, which
is wrong at least for glibc's implementation, and in any case libc might
have a different idea of the prevailing encoding than we do. Hence, for
portable results we must avoid using anything more complex than just "%s"
unless the string to be printed is known to be all-ASCII.
This patch fixes the cases I could find, including the psql formatting
failure reported by Hernan Gonzalez. In HEAD only, I also added comments
to some places where it appears safe to continue using "%.*s".
the privileges that will be applied to subsequently-created objects.
Such adjustments are always per owning role, and can be restricted to objects
created in particular schemas too. A notable benefit is that users can
override the traditional default privilege settings, eg, the PUBLIC EXECUTE
privilege traditionally granted by default for functions.

Instead of requiring translators to translate the entire SQL command
synopses, change create_help.pl to only require them to translate the
placeholders, and paste those into the synopsis using a printf mechanism.
Make some small updates to the markup to make it easier to parse.
Note: This causes msgmerge of gettext 0.17 to segfault. You will need
the patch from https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27474 to make it work.
msgmerge usually only runs on babel.postgresql.org, however.

Since this touches most lines of the help output, also change the mix of
puts and printf calls to printf everywhere, for easier code editing and
reviewing.
This doesn't do any remote or external things yet, but it gives modules
like plproxy and dblink a standardized and future-proof system for
managing their connection information.

a hard-wired assumption about the longest command name length. Also make it
respond to the current screen width. In passing, const-ify the constant

so anything that's broken is probably my fault.
Documentation is nonexistent as yet, but let's land the patch so we can
get some portability testing done.

eliminates, IMHO, a surprise in that you can now connect to PostgreSQL
on a differnt machine from the one where you started your session. This
should help people who use psql as an administrative tool.

Currently, while \e saves a single statement as one entry, interactive
statements are saved one line at a time. Ideally all statements
would be saved like \e does.

find myself typing a command and then wanting to get the syntax for it.
So I do a ctrl-a and add a \h: but psql does not recognize the command,
because I have stuff attached to it (e.g. "alter table foobar"), so I
have to scroll over and delete everything except the name of the command
itself. This patch gives \h three chances to match: if nothing matches
the complete string (current behavior), it tries to match the first two
words (e.g. "ALTER TABLE"). If that fails, it tries to match the first
word (e.g. "DELETE").

Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...
There are various things left to do: contrib dbsize and oid2name modules
need work, and so does the documentation. Also someone should think about
COMMENT ON TABLESPACE and maybe RENAME TABLESPACE. Also initlocation is
dead, it just doesn't know it yet.

conversion of basic ASCII letters. Remove all uses of strcasecmp and
strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp;
remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower. These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion. I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent. Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.

* Add schema, cast, and conversion backslash commands to psql
I had to create a new publically available function,
pg_conversion_is_visible, as it seemed to be missing from the catalogs.
This required me to do no small amount of hacking around in namespace.c

See developer's guide how to make use of it in programs and how to add

psql sources have been almost fully prepared and an incomplete German
translation has been provided. In the backend, only elog() calls are
currently translatable, and the provided German translation file is more
of a placeholder.
