Previous commit modified the test case, but I didn't update cube.out
expected output file in previous commit because it was not needed by the
platforms I have easy access to. Buildfarm animal 'dugong', running
"Debian 4.0 icc 10.1.011 ia64", has now gone red because of that, so update
it now.
Also adjust cube_3.out. According to git history, it was added to support
64-bit MinGW. There is no such animal in the buildfarm, so I'm doing this
blindly, but it was added quite recently so maybe someone still cares.
If the lower left and upper right corners of a cube are the same, set a
flag in the cube header, and only store one copy of the coordinates. That
cuts the on-disk size into half for the common case that the cube datatype
is used to represent points rather than boxes.
The new format is backwards-compatible with the old one, so pg_upgrade
still works. However, to get the space savings, the data needs to be
rewritten. A simple VACUUM FULL or REINDEX is not enough, as the old
Datums will just be moved to the new heap/index as is. A pg_dump and
reload, or something similar like casting to text and back, will do the
trick.
This patch deliberately doesn't update all the alternative expected output
files, as I don't have access to machines that produce those outputs. I'm
not sure if they are still relevant, but if they are, the buildfarm will
tell us and produce the diff required to fix it. If none of the buildfarm
animals need them, they should be removed altogether.

REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY was broken for any matview
containing a column of a type without a default btree operator
class. It also did not produce results consistent with a non-
concurrent REFRESH or a normal view if any column was of a type
which allowed user-visible differences between values which
compared as equal according to the type's default btree opclass.
Concurrent matview refresh was modified to use the new operators
to solve these problems.
Documentation was added for record comparison, both for the
default btree operator class for record, and the newly added
operators. Regression tests now check for proper behavior both
for a matview with a box column and a matview containing a citext
column.

With the PGXS boilerplate in place, pg_xlogdump currently fails with an
ominous error message that certain targets cannot be built because
certain files do not exist. Remove that and instead throw a quick error

to diagnose that the statu quo.

This should have been done when the json functionality was added to
hstore in 9.3.0. To handle this correctly, the upgrade script therefore
uses conditional logic by using plpgsql in a DO statement to add the two
new functions and the new cast. If hstore_to_json_loose is detected as
already present and dependent on the hstore extension nothing is done.
This will require that the database be loaded with plpgsql.
People who have installed the earlier and spurious 1.1 version of hstore
will need to do:
ALTER EXTENSION hstore UPDATE;
to pick up the new functions properly.
Previously a one-dimensional empty array was returned, but its text

BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY
Per report from elein
Using the infrastructure provided by this patch, it's possible either
to wait for the startup of a dynamically-registered background worker,
or to poll the status of such a worker without waiting. In either
case, the current PID of the worker process can also be obtained.
As usual, worker_spi is updated to demonstrate the new functionality.
Patch by me. Review by Andres Freund.
The planner largely failed to consider the possibility that a
PlaceHolderVar's expression might contain a lateral reference to a Var
coming from somewhere outside the PHV's syntactic scope. We had a previous
report of a problem in this area, which I tried to fix in a quick-hack way
in commit 4da6439bd8, but Antonin Houska
pointed out that there were still some problems, and investigation turned
up other issues. This patch largely reverts that commit in favor of a more
thoroughly thought-through solution. The new theory is that a PHV's
ph_eval_at level cannot be higher than its original syntactic level. If it
contains lateral references, those don't change the ph_eval_at level, but
rather they create a lateral-reference requirement for the ph_eval_at join
relation. The code in joinpath.c needs to handle that.
Another issue is that createplan.c wasn't handling nested PlaceHolderVars
properly.
In passing, push knowledge of lateral-reference checks for join clauses
into join_clause_is_movable_to. This is mainly so that FDWs don't need
to deal with it.
This patch doesn't fix the original join-qual-placement problem reported by
Jeremy Evans (and indeed, one of the new regression test cases shows the
wrong answer because of that). But the PlaceHolderVar problems need to be
fixed before that issue can be addressed, so committing this separately
seems reasonable.
These modules used the YYPARSE_PARAM macro, which has been deprecated
by the bison folk since 1.875, and which they finally removed in 3.0.
Adjust the code to use the replacement facility, %parse-param, which
is a much better solution anyway since it allows specification of the
type of the extra parser parameter. We can thus get rid of a lot of
unsightly casting.
Back-patch to all active branches, since somebody might try to build

Pg_Upgrade cannot write the command string to the log file and then call
system() to write to the same file without causing occasional file-share
errors on Windows. So instead, write the command string to the log file
after system(), in those cases.
Backpatch to 9.3.
Tuples belonging to uncommitted transactions should not be
counted as dead.
This is arguably a bug fix that should be back-patched, but
as no one ever noticed until it came time to try to get rid
of SnapshotNow, I'm only doing this in master for now.
Since pg_upgrade -j on Windows uses threads, calling umask()
before/after opening a file via fopen_priv() is no longer possible, so
set umask() as we enter the thread-creating loop, and reset it on exit.
Also adjust internal fopen_priv() calls to just use fopen().
Backpatch to 9.3beta.
This fixes the problem of passing the wrong function pointer when doing
parallel copy/link operations on Windows.

This controls the target transaction rate to certain tps, rather than
maximum. Patch contributed by Fabien COELHO, reviewed by Greg Smith,
and slight editing by me.
Per discussion, it's desirable to eliminate all remaining uses of
SnapshotNow, because it has unpleasant semantics: race conditions
can result in seeing multiple versions of a concurrently updated
row, or none at all. By using GetActiveSnapshot() here, callers
will see exactly those rows that would have been visible if the
invoking query had scanned the table using, for example, a SELECT
statement.
This is slightly different from the old behavior, because commits
that happen concurrently with the scan will not affect the results.
In REPEATABLE READ or SERIALIZABLE modes, where transaction
snapshots are used, commits that have happened since the start of
the transaction will also not affect the results. It is hoped
that this minor incompatibility will be thought an improvement,
or at least no worse than what we did before.
Per discussion on pgsql-hackers, these aren't really needed. Interim
versions of the background worker patch had the worker starting with
signals already unblocked, which would have made this necessary.
But the final version does not, so we don't really need it; and it
doesn't work well with the new facility for starting dynamic background
workers, so just rip it out.
Also per discussion on pgsql-hackers, back-patch this change to 9.3.
It's best to get the API break out of the way before we do an
official release of this facility, to avoid more pain for extension
authors later.
Previously, these functions took a HeapTupleHeader, but upcoming
patches for logical replication will introduce new a new snapshot
type under which the tuple's TID will be used to lookup (CMIN, CMAX)
for visibility determination purposes. This makes that information
available. Code churn is minimal since HeapTupleSatisfiesVisibility
took the HeapTuple anyway, and deferenced it before calling the
satisfies function.
Independently of logical replication, this allows t_tableOid and
t_self to be cross-checked via assertions in tqual.c. This seems
like a useful way to make sure that all callers are setting these
values properly, which has been previously put forward as
desirable.

This allows us to specify the target relation with several expressions,
'relname', 'schemaname.relname' and OID in all pgstattuple functions.
pgstatindex() and pg_relpages() could not accept OID as the argument
so far.
Per discussion on -hackers, we decided to keep two types of interfaces,
with regclass-type and TEXT-type argument, for each pgstattuple
function because of the backward-compatibility issue. The functions
which have TEXT-type argument will be deprecated in the future release.

There is a new API, RegisterDynamicBackgroundWorker, which allows
an ordinary user backend to register a new background writer during
normal running. This means that it's no longer necessary for all
background workers to be registered during processing of
shared_preload_libraries, although the option of registering workers
at that time remains available.
When a background worker exits and will not be restarted, the
slot previously used by that background worker is automatically
released and becomes available for reuse. Slots used by background
workers that are configured for automatic restart can't (yet) be
released without shutting down the system.
This commit adds a new source file, bgworker.c, and moves some
of the existing control logic for background workers there.
Previously, there was little enough logic that it made sense to
keep everything in postmaster.c, but not any more.
This commit also makes the worker_spi contrib module into an
extension and adds a new function, worker_spi_launch, which can
be used to demonstrate the new facility.
This prevents the client from gobbling up too much memory when the
number of large objects to be removed is very large.
