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.

commands, and also CREATE TABLESPACE commands in pg_dumpall's case.

non-default settings for the postmaster's port number. The code to parse
command line options and postgresql.conf entries wasn't quite right about
whitespace or quotes, and it was coded in a not-very-readable way too.
Per bug #3969 from Itagaki Takahiro, though this is more extensive than his
proposed patch (which fixed only the whitespace problem).
This code has been broken since it was put in in 8.0, so patch all the way
back.
data structures and backend internal APIs. This solves problems we've seen
recently with inconsistent layout of pg_control between machines that have
32-bit time_t and those that have already migrated to 64-bit time_t. Also,
we can get out from under the problem that Windows' Unix-API emulation is not
consistent about the width of time_t.
There are a few remaining places where local time_t variables are used to hold
the current or recent result of time(NULL). I didn't bother changing these
since they do not affect any cross-module APIs and surely all platforms will
have 64-bit time_t before overflow becomes an actual risk. time_t should
be avoided for anything visible to extension modules, however.
to format properly for the actually needed column width, instead of having
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
table.
This is to avoid uselessly requiring superuser permissions to restore
the dump without errors. Pretty grotty, but no better alternative seems
available, at least not in the near term.
psql's \d commands and other uses of printQuery(). Previously we would pass
these strings through gettext() and then send them to the server as literals
in the SQL query. But the code was not set up to handle doubling of quotes in
the strings, causing failure if a translation attempted to use the wrong kind
of quote marks, as indeed is now the case for (at least) the French
translation of \dFp. Another hazard was that gettext() would translate to
whatever encoding was implied by the client's LC_CTYPE setting, which might be
different from the client_encoding setting, which would probably cause the
server to reject the query as mis-encoded. The new arrangement is to send the
untranslated ASCII strings to the server, and do the translations inside
printQuery() after the query results come back. Per report from Guillaume
Lelarge and subsequent discussion.
useful and confuses people who think it is the same as -U. (Eventually
we might want to re-introduce it as being an alias for -U, but that should
not happen until the switch has actually not been there for a few releases.)
Likewise in pg_dump and pg_restore. Per gripe from Robert Treat and
subsequent discussion.
PQconnectionNeedsPassword function that tells the right thing for whether to
prompt for a password, and improve PQconnectionUsedPassword so that it checks
whether the password used by the connection was actually supplied as a

that have default expressions different from their parent. First, if the
parent table's default expression has to be split out as a separate
ALTER TABLE command, we need a dependency constraint to ensure that the
child's command is given second. This is because the ALTER TABLE on the
parent will propagate to the child. (We can't prevent that by using ONLY on
the parent's command, since it's possible that other children exist that
should receive the inherited default.) Second, if the child has a NULL
default where the parent does not, we have to explicitly say DEFAULT NULL on
the child in order for this state to be preserved after reload. (The latter
actually doesn't work right because of a backend bug, but that is a separate
issue.)
Backpatch as far as 8.0. 7.x pg_dump has enough issues with altered tables
(due to lack of dependency analysis) that trying to fix this one doesn't seem
very productive.
only on the 'language' part of the locale name, ignoring the country code.
We may need to be smarter later when there are more built-in configurations,
but for now this is good enough and avoids having to bloat the table.
renumbering of encoding IDs done between 8.2 and 8.3 turns out to break 8.2
initdb and psql if they are run with an 8.3beta1 libpq.so. For the moment
we can rearrange the order of enum pg_enc to keep the same number for
everything except PG_JOHAB, which isn't a problem since there are no direct
references to it in the 8.2 programs anyway. (This does force initdb
unfortunately.)
Going forward, we want to fix things so that encoding IDs can be changed
without an ABI break, and this commit includes the changes needed to allow
libpq's encoding IDs to be treated as fully independent of the backend's.
The main issue is that libpq clients should not include pg_wchar.h or
otherwise assume they know the specific values of libpq's encoding IDs,
since they might encounter version skew between pg_wchar.h and the libpq.so
they are using. To fix, have libpq officially export functions needed for
encoding name<=>ID conversion and validity checking; it was doing this
anyway unofficially.
It's still the case that we can't renumber backend encoding IDs until the
next bump in libpq's major version number, since doing so will break the
8.2-era client programs. However the code is now prepared to avoid this
type of problem in future.
Note that initdb is no longer a libpq client: we just pull in the two
source files we need directly. The patch also fixes a few places that
were being sloppy about checking for an unrecognized encoding name.
databases with encodings that are incompatible with the server's LC_CTYPE
locale, when we can determine that (which we can on most modern platforms,
I believe). C/POSIX locale is compatible with all encodings, of course,
so there is still some usefulness to CREATE DATABASE's ENCODING option,
but this will insulate us against all sorts of recurring complaints
caused by mismatched settings.
I moved initdb's existing LC_CTYPE-to-encoding mapping knowledge into
a new src/port/ file so it could be shared by CREATE DATABASE.
duplicative -DFRONTEND flags from many Makefiles. We still need Makefile

* adds a few missing words to some commands (like adding GIN as a valid
index type or OWNED BY for ALTER SEQUENCE,...)
* support for ALTER TABLE foo ENABLE/DISABLE REPLICA TRIGGER/RULE
* autocomplete CREATE DATABASE foo TEMPLATE (mostly done to prevent
conflicts with the TEMPLATE keyword for text search)
* support for ALTER/CREATE/DROP TEXT SEARCH as well as COMMENT ON TEXT
SEARCH and the corresponding psql backslash commands.
This proved a little more difficult than expected due to the fact that
words_after_create[] is used for two purposes - one is to provide a list
of words that follow immediatly after CREATE (or DROP) and the other
purpose is to use it for autocompleting anywhere in the statement if the
word in that struct is found with a query.
Since TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION|DICTIONARY|TEMPLATE|PARSER results in 3
words instead of one (as all the other words in that list are) I added a
flag to the struct to tell create_command_generator() to skip that entry
for autocompleting immediatly after CREATE which feels like a dirty
hack (but that holds true for a lot of code in tab-complete.c).

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.
read from the temp file didn't match the file length reported by ftello(),
the wrong variable's value was printed, and so the message made no sense.
Clean up a couple other coding infelicities while at it.
init options of the template as top-level options in the syntax. This also
makes ALTER a bit easier to use, since options can be replaced individually.
I also made these statements verify that the tmplinit method will accept
the new settings before they get stored; in the original coding you didn't
find out about mistakes until the dictionary got invoked.
Under the hood, init methods now get options as a List of DefElem instead
of a raw text string --- that lets tsearch use existing options-pushing code
instead of duplicating functionality.

named pg_toast_temp_nnn, alongside the pg_temp_nnn schemas used for the temp
tables themselves. This allows low-level code such as the relcache to
recognize that these tables are indeed temporary, which enables various
optimizations such as not WAL-logging changes and using local rather than
shared buffers for access. Aside from obvious performance benefits, this
provides a solution to bug #3483, in which other backends unexpectedly held
open file references to temporary tables. The scheme preserves the property
that TOAST tables are not in any schema that's normally in the search path,
so they don't conflict with user table names.
initdb forced because of changes in system view definitions.
literally, whether quoted or not. Since we allow $ as a character within
identifiers, this behavior is useful, whereas the previous behavior of
treating it as the regexp ending anchor was nearly useless given that the
pattern is automatically anchored anyway. This affects the arguments of
psql's \d commands as well as pg_dump's -n and -t switches. Per discussion.

we might be able to localize that error message, but not until this

extensive enough that the unnecessary quoting is becoming a bit of an eyesore.
To do this, add knowledge of the keyword category to keywords.c's table.
(Someday we might be able to generate keywords.c's table and the keyword lists
in gram.y from a common source.) For the moment, lie about WITH's status in
the table so it will still get quoted --- this is because of the expectation
that WITH will become reserved when the SQL recursive-queries patch gets done.
I didn't force initdb because this affects nothing on-disk; but note that a
few regression tests have changed expected output.

and views (but not system catalogs, nor sequences or toast tables). Get rid
of the hardwired convention that a type's array type is named exactly "_type",
instead using a new column pg_type.typarray to provide the linkage. (It still
will be named "_type", though, except in odd corner cases such as
maximum-length type names.)
Along the way, make tracking of owner and schema dependencies for types more
uniform: a type directly created by the user has these dependencies, while a
table rowtype or auto-generated array type does not have them, but depends on
its parent object instead.

we can complete "TABLE". The previous coding only looked for "CREATE TEMP".
Note that I didn't add TEMPORARY to the list of suggested completions
after we've seen "CREATE", since TEMP is equivalent and more concise. But
if the user has already manually typed TEMPORARY, we may as well
complete TABLE for them.
RESET SESSION, RESET PLANS, and RESET TEMP are now DISCARD ALL,
DISCARD PLANS, and DISCARD TEMP, respectively. This is to avoid
confusion with the pre-existing RESET variants: the DISCARD
commands are not actually similar to RESET. Patch from Marko
