friends. Avoid double translation of some messages, ensure other messages
are exposed for translation (and make them follow the style guidelines),
avoid unsafe passing of an unpredictable message text as a format string.
query texts only to the server log. This eliminates the issue of possible
leaking of security-sensitive data in other sessions' queries. Since the
log is presumed secure, we can now log the queries of all sessions involved
in the deadlock, whether or not they belong to the same user as the one
reporting the failure.
errdetail except the string goes only to the server log, replacing the normal
errdetail there. This provides a reasonably clean way of dealing with error
details that are too security-sensitive or too bulky to send to the client.
This commit just adds the infrastructure --- actual uses to follow.
except that it returns the string 'NULL', rather than a SQL null, when called
with a null argument. This is often a much more useful behavior for
constructing dynamic queries. Add more discussion to the documentation
about how to use these functions.

(if they'd be visible to the current user in pg_stat_activity).
This might look like it's subject to race conditions, but it's actually
pretty safe because at the time DeadLockReport() is constructing the
report, we haven't yet aborted our transaction and so we can expect that
everyone else involved in the deadlock is still blocked on some lock.
(There are corner cases where that might not be true, such as a statement
timeout triggering in another backend before we finish reporting; but at
worst we'd report a misleading activity string, so it seems acceptable
considering the usefulness of reporting the queries.)
Original patch by Itagaki Takahiro, heavily modified by me.
a new typedef TimeOffset to represent an intermediate time value. It's
either int64 or double as appropriate, and in most usages will be measured
in microseconds or seconds the same as Timestamp. We don't call it
Timestamp, though, since the value doesn't necessarily represent an absolute
time instant.

directly to all the member expressions, instead of the previous implementation
where the ARRAY[] constructor would infer a common element type and then we'd
coerce the finished array after the fact. This has a number of benefits,
one being that we can allow an empty ARRAY[] construct so long as its
element type is specified by such a cast.
Brendan Jurd, minor fixes by me.
dumps can be loaded into databases without the same tablespaces that the
source had. The option acts by suppressing all "SET default_tablespace"
commands, and also CREATE TABLESPACE commands in pg_dumpall's case.

ISO_8859-5 <-> MULE_INTERNAL conversion tables.
This was discovered when trying to convert a string containing those characters
from ISO_8859-5 to Windows-1251, because we use MULE_INTERNAL/KOI8R as an
intermediate encoding between those two.
While the missing "Yo" was just an omission in the conversion tables, there are
a few other characters like the "Numero" sign ("No" as a single character) that
exists in all the other cyrillic encodings (win1251, ISO_8859-5 and cp866), but
not in KOI8R. Added comments about that.
Patch by Sergey Burladyan. Back-patch to 7.4.
case where there is a match to the pattern overall but the user has specified
a parenthesized subexpression and that subexpression hasn't got a match.
An example is substring('foo' from 'foo(bar)?'). This should return NULL,
since (bar) isn't matched, but it was mistakenly returning the whole-pattern
match instead (ie, 'foo'). Per bug #4044 from Rui Martins.
This has been broken since the beginning; patch in all supported versions.
The old behavior was sufficiently inconsistent that it's impossible to believe
anyone is depending on it.
are declared to return set, and consist of just a single SELECT. We
can replace the FROM-item with a sub-SELECT and then optimize much as
if we were dealing with a view. Patch from Richard Rowell, cleaned up
by me.
errors in any commands, including in various clean targets that have so far
been handled inconsistently. make -i is available to ignore all errors in
a consistent and official way.
during a bitmap index scan. This cannot affect the query results
(since we're just dumping the TIDs into a bitmap) but it might offer
some advantage in locality of access to the index. Per Greg Stark.
value for a precision is negative, act as though precision weren't
specified at all, that is the whole .* part of the format spec should
be ignored. Our previous coding took it as .0 which is certainly
wrong. Per report from Kris Jurka and local testing.
Possibly this should be back-patched, but it would be good to get
some more testing first; in any case there are no known cases where
there's really a problem on the backend side.
support DTrace in the future.
Switch from using DTRACE_PROBEn macros to the dynamically generated macros.
Use "dtrace -h" to create a header file that contains the dynamically
generated macros to be used in the source code instead of the DTRACE_PROBEn
macros. A dummy header file is generated for builds without DTrace support.

oprofile shows that a nontrivial amount of time is being spent in
repeated calls to index_getprocinfo, which really only needs to be
called once. So do that, and inline _hash_datum2hashkey to make it
work.
linear search when checking child-transaction XIDs. This makes for an
important speedup in transactions that have large numbers of children,
as in a recent example from Craig Ringer. We can also get rid of an
ugly kluge that represented lists of TransactionIds as lists of OIDs.

bucket number, so as to ensure locality of access to the index during the
insertion step. Without this, building an index significantly larger than
available RAM takes a very long time because of thrashing. On the other
hand, sorting is just useless overhead when the index does fit in RAM.
We choose to sort when the initial index size exceeds effective_cache_size.
This is a revised version of work by Tom Raney and Shreya Bhargava.
deals with the queue, including locking etc, is all in sinvaladt.c. This means
that the struct definition of the queue, and the queue pointer, are now
internal "implementation details" inside sinvaladt.c.
Per my proposal dated 25-Jun-2007 and followup discussion.
two buckets at the start, we create a number of buckets appropriate for the
estimated size of the table. This avoids a lot of expensive bucket-split
actions during initial index build on an already-populated table.
This is one of the two core ideas of Tom Raney and Shreya Bhargava's patch
to reduce hash index build time. I'm committing it separately to make it
easier for people to test the effects of this separately from the effects
of their other core idea (pre-sorting the index entries by bucket number).
This accidentally failed to fail before 8.3, because the context we were
switching back to was long-lived anyway; but it sure looks risky as can be
now. Well spotted by Pavan Deolasee.
