Tom Lane 100a8ca2c2 Reject bogus output from uuid_create(3).
When using the BSD UUID functions, contrib/uuid-ossp expects
uuid_create() to produce a version-1 UUID.  FreeBSD still does so,
but in recent NetBSD releases that function produces a version-4
(random) UUID instead.  That's not acceptable for our purposes:
if the user wanted v4 she would have asked for v4, not v1.
Hence, check the version digit and complain if it's not '1'.

Also drop the documentation's claim that the NetBSD implementation
is usable.  It might be, depending on which OS version you're using,
but we're not going to get into that kind of detail.

(Maybe someday we should ditch all these external libraries
and just write our own UUID code, but today is not that day.)

Nazir Bilal Yavuz, with cosmetic adjustments and docs by me.
Backpatch to all supported versions.

Doc fixes for MERGE statement
In commit 3d895bc846 I introduced a bogus semicolon mid-statement by
careless cut-n-paste; move it.  This had already been reported by Justin
Pryzby.

Also, change the styling a bit by avoiding names in CamelCase.  This is
more consistent with the style we use elsewhere.

Backpatch to 15.

David Rowley 6ce4c4d831 Doc: clarify partitioned table limitations
Improve documentation regarding the limitations of unique and primary key
constraints on partitioned tables.  The existing documentation didn't make
it clear that the constraint columns had to be present in the partition
key as bare columns.  The reader could be led to believe that it was ok to
include the constraint columns as part of a function call's parameters or
as part of an expression.  Additionally, the documentation didn't mention
anything about the fact that we disallow unique and primary key
constraints if the partition keys contain *any* function calls or
expressions, regardless of if the constraint columns appear as columns
elsewhere in the partition key.

The confusion here was highlighted by a report on the general mailing list
by James Vanns.

On fast machines, it's possible for applications such as pgbench
to issue connection requests so quickly that the postmaster's

failures (with not-very-helpful error messages).  Most modern OSes
allow the queue size to be increased, so document how to do that.

Tom Lane cc7e0feba5 In extensions, don't replace objects not belonging to the extension.
Previously, if an extension script did CREATE OR REPLACE and there was
an existing object not belonging to the extension, it would overwrite
the object and adopt it into the extension.  This is problematic, first
because the overwrite is probably unintentional, and second because we
didn't change the object's ownership.  Thus a hostile user could create
an object in advance of an expected CREATE EXTENSION command, and would
then have ownership rights on an extension object, which could be
modified for trojan-horse-type attacks.

Hence, forbid CREATE OR REPLACE of an existing object unless it already
belongs to the extension.  (Note that we've always forbidden replacing
an object that belongs to some other extension; only the behavior for
previously-free-standing objects changes here.)

For the same reason, also fail CREATE IF NOT EXISTS when there is
an existing object that doesn't belong to the extension.

Our thanks to Sven Klemm for reporting this problem.

Tom Lane c034b629cc Change type "char"'s I/O format for non-ASCII characters.
Previously, a byte with the high bit set was just transmitted
as-is by charin() and charout().  This is problematic if the
database encoding is multibyte, because the result of charout()
won't be validly encoded, which breaks various stuff that
expects all text strings to be validly encoded.  We've
previously decided to enforce encoding validity rather than try
to individually harden each place that might have a problem with
such strings, so it's time to do something about "char".

To fix, represent high-bit-set characters as \ooo (backslash
and three octal digits), following the ancient "escape" format
for bytea.  charin() will continue to accept the old way as well,
though that is only reachable in single-byte encodings.

Add some test cases just so there is coverage for this code.
We'll otherwise leave this question undocumented as it was before,
because we don't really want to encourage end-user use of "char".

For the moment, back-patch into v15 so that this change appears
in 15beta3.  If there's not great pushback we should consider
absorbing this change into the older branches.

... when it applies to partitioned relations.  This is almost the
opposite of 0c06534bd6, which removed references to "partition" in
favour of "child".
