incorrect implementation of argument reordering, arbitrary limit of output
size for sprintf and fprintf, willingness to access more bytes than "%.Ns"
specification allows, wrong formatting of LONGLONG_MIN, various field-padding
bugs and omissions. I believe it now accurately implements a subset of
the Single Unix Spec requirements (remaining unimplemented features are
documented, too). Bruce Momjian and Tom Lane.

than owned by nobody. This results in cleaner display of language ACLs,
since the backend's aclchk.c uses the same convention. AFAICS there is
no practical difference but it's nice to avoid emitting SET SESSION
AUTHORIZATION; also this will make it easier to transition pg_dump to
some future version in which we may include an explicit ownership column
in pg_language. Per gripe from David Begley.
Map them to a single day, so '30 hours' is 'AM'.
Have to_char(interval) and to_char(time) use "HH", "HH12" as 12-hour
intervals, rather than bypass and print the full interval hours. This
is neeeded because to_char(time) is mapped to interval in this function.
Intervals should use "HH24", and document suggestion.
Allow "D" format specifiers for interval/time.
if we already have a stronger lock due to the index's table being the
update target table of the query. Same optimization I applied earlier
at the table level. There doesn't seem to be much interest in the more
radical idea of not locking indexes at all, so do what we can ...
relation if it's already been locked by execMain.c as either a result
relation or a FOR UPDATE/SHARE relation. This avoids an extra trip to
the shared lock manager state. Per my suggestion yesterday.

child plan nodes until we have acquired lock on the relation to scan.
The relative order of initialization of plan nodes isn't real important in
other cases, but it's critical here because one is supposed to lock a
relation before its indexes, not vice versa. The original coding was at
least vulnerable to deadlock against DROP INDEX, and perhaps worse things.

Also add a retry for Unixen returning EINTR, which hasn't been reported
as an issue but at least theoretically could be. Patch by Qingqing Zhou,
some minor adjustments by me.
#2075: consider an index redundant if any of its index conditions were already
used, rather than if all of them were. Also, make the selectivity comparison
a bit fuzzy, so that very small differences in estimated selectivities don't
skew the results.

it's worth probing the outer relation for emptiness before building the
hash table. To wit, if we're rescanning a join previously performed,
remember whether we found it nonempty the previous time, and don't bother
with the probe if it was nonempty. This buys back the performance lost
in examples like Mario Weilguni's.
one child or the other had a problem: they did not leave the node in a
state that ExecReScanHashJoin would understand. In particular it would
tend to fail to reset the child plans when needed. Per report from
Mario Weilguni.
ScalarArrayOpExpr when possible, that is, whenever there is an array type
for the values of the expression list. This completes the project I've
been working on to improve the speed of index searches with long IN lists,
as per discussion back in mid-October.
I did not force initdb, but until you do one you will see failures in the
"rules" regression test, because some of the standard system views use IN
and their compiled formats have changed.
