Peter Eisentraut c0d4d5473a Make the world somewhat safe for (not from) DELETE FROM pg_shadow;
Assign the fixed user id 1 to the user created by initdb.
A stand-alone backend will always set the user id to 1.
(Consequently, the name of that user is no longer important.)

In stand-alone mode, the user id 1 will have implicit superuser
status, to allow repairs even if there are no users defined.

Print a warning message when starting in stand-alone mode when no
users are defined.

Disallow dropping the current user and session user.

Granting/revoking superuser status also grants/revokes usecatupd.
(Previously, it would never grant it back.  This could lead to "deadlocks".)

CREATE USER and CREATE GROUP will start allocating user ids at 100
(unless explicitly specified), to prevent accidental creation of a
superuser (plus some room for future extensions).

Bruce Momjian 1834987fb6 I've attached the fixed version of the patch below. After the
discussion on pgsql-hackers (especially the frightening memory dump in
<12273.999562219@sss.pgh.pa.us>), we decided that it is best not to
use identifiers from an untrusted source at all.  Therefore, all
claims of the suitability of PQescapeString() for identifiers have
been removed.

Bruce Momjian bd9b32803b Here is my much-promised patch to let people add UNIQUE constraints after
table creation time.  Big deal you say - but this patch is the basis of the
next thing which is adding PRIMARY KEYs after table creation time.  (Which
is currently impossible without twiddling catalogs)

Rundown
-------

* I have made the makeObjectName function of analyze.c non-static, and
exported it in analyze.h

* I have included analyze.h and defrem.h into command.c, to support
makingObjectNames and creating indices

* I removed the 'case CONSTR_PRIMARY' clause so that it properly fails and
says you can't add primary keys, rather than just doing nothing and
reporting nothing!!!

* I have modified the docs.

Algorithm
---------

* If name specified is null, search for a new valid constraint name.  I'm
not sure if I should "lock" my generated name somehow tho - should I open
the relation before doing this step?

* Open relation in access exclusive mode

* Check that the constraint does not already exist

* Define the new index

* Warn if they're doubling up on an existing index

Tom Lane 17c03b30b0 Revert treatment of NOTIFY in rules to its pre-7.1 behavior: notify will
occur unconditionally, even if the rule should otherwise execute
conditionally.  This is more useful than giving an error, even though it's
not truly the correct behavior.  Per today's pghackers discussion.

See attached revised patch. (I'm sure the configure.in stuff can be done
right/better, I'm just not enough of a autoconf guru to know what to
change it to.)

Bruce Momjian 2a34134b6c - new to_char(interval, text)
- new millisecond (ms) and microsecond (us) support
 - more robus parsing from string - used is separator checking for
   non-exact formats like to_date('2001-9-1', 'YYYY-MM-DD')
 - SGML docs are included

Tom Lane 6c91eef7b7 Fix handling of pg_type.typdefault per bug report from Dave Blasby.
If there's anyone out there who's actually using datatype-defined
default values, this will be an incompatible change in behavior ...
but the old behavior was so broken that I doubt anyone was using it.
