Similarly rename the version in mbprint.c, not because this affects anything
but just to keep the two copies in exact sync. There was some discussion of
having only one copy in src/port/ instead, but this function is so small
and unlikely to change that that seems like overkill.
Slightly editorialized version of a patch by Joseph Adams. (The bug-fix
aspect of his patch was applied separately, and back-patched.)
The implicitly created sequence was created as owned by the current user,
who could be different from the table owner, eg if current user is a
superuser or some member of the table's owning role. This caused sanity
checks in the SEQUENCE OWNED BY code to spit up. Although possibly we
don't need those sanity checks, the safest fix seems to be to make sure
the implicit sequence is assigned the same owner role as the table has.
(We still do all permissions checks as the current user, however.)
Per report from Josh Berkus.
Back-patch to 9.0. The bug goes back to the invention of SEQUENCE OWNED BY
in 8.2, but the fix requires an API change for DefineRelation(), which seems
to have potential for breaking third-party code if done in a minor release.
Given the lack of prior complaints, it's probably not worth fixing in the
stable branches.
_outPlannedStmt is only debug support, so the omission there was not very
serious, but the omission in _copyPlannedStmt is a real bug. The consequence
would be that a copied plan tree would never be marked as a transient plan,
so that we would forget we ought to replan it after some not-yet-ready index
becomes ready for use. This might explain some past complaints about indexes
created with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY not being used right away. Problem
spotted by Yeb Havinga.
Back-patch to 8.3, where the field was added.

The coercion with a CoerceViaIO node. The result is similar to the coercion

Backpatch to 9.0. The issue is present in 8.4 as well, but the coerce param
hook infrastructure this patch relies on was introduced in 9.0. Given the
lack of user reports and harmlessness of the bug, it's not worth attempting
a different fix just for 8.4.

explain two different reports we've seen of corrupted lockfile contents,

new server from starting if the old one crashes. Per suggestion from

Back-patch to all supported versions.
This is appropriate for the same reasons we already do it in
LockSharedObject(): things might have changed while we were waiting

in particular, propagate a fix in the test to see whether a UTF8 character has

5-or-more-byte UTF8 sequences are not supported by Postgres nor seen anywhere

Adams.

used by array_agg(), string_agg(), and similar aggregate functions that use
"internal" as their transition datatype. The previous coding thought this
took *no* extra space, since "internal" is pass-by-value; but actually these
aggregates typically consume a great deal of space. Per bug #5608 from
Itagaki Takahiro, and fix suggestion from Hitoshi Harada.
Back-patch to 8.4, where array_agg was introduced.
This allows us to reliably remove all leftover temporary relation
files on cluster startup without reference to system catalogs or WAL;
therefore, we no longer include temporary relations in XLOG_XACT_COMMIT

Since these changes require including a backend ID in each
SharedInvalSmgrMsg, the size of the SharedInvalidationMessage.id
field has been reduced from two bytes to one, and the maximum number
of connections has been reduced from INT_MAX / 4 to 2^23-1. It would
be possible to remove these restrictions by increasing the size of
SharedInvalidationMessage by 4 bytes, but right now that doesn't seem
like a good trade-off.

path that specifies useTemp, but there is no active temp schema in the
current session. (This can happen if the path was saved during a transaction
that created a temp schema and was later rolled back.) For existing callers
it's sufficient to ignore the useTemp flag in this case, though we might
later want to offer an option to create a fresh temp schema. So far as I can
tell this is just an Assert failure: in a non-assert build, the code would
push a zero onto the new search path, which is useless but not very harmful.

corresponding code in pg_dump and pg_dumpall so that all three programs
handle this in a consistent, straightforward fashion.
Back-patch to 9.0, but no further. Although this is certainly a bug, it's
possible that people have scripts that will be broken by the added error
check, so it seems better not to change the behavior in stable branches.
and the editor's cursor will be initially placed on that line. In \e the
lines are counted with respect to the query buffer, while in \ef they are
counted with line 1 = first line of function body. These choices are useful
for positioning the cursor on the line of a previously-reported error.
To avoid assumptions about what switch the user's editor takes for this
purpose, invent a new psql variable EDITOR_LINENUMBER_SWITCH with (at
present) no default value.
One incompatibility from previous behavior is that "\e 1234" will now
take "1234" as a line number not a file name. There are at least two
ways to select a numerically-named file if you really want to.

better handling of NULL elements within the arrays. The third parameter
is a string that should be used to represent a NULL element, or should
be translated into a NULL element, respectively. If the third parameter
is NULL it behaves the same as the two-parameter form.
There are two incompatible changes in the behavior of the two-parameter form
of string_to_array. First, it will return an empty (zero-element) array
rather than NULL when the input string is of zero length. Second, if the
field separator is NULL, the function splits the string into individual
characters, rather than returning NULL as before. These two changes make
this form fully compatible with the behavior of the new three-parameter form.

expressions. We need to deal with this when handling subscripts in an array
assignment, and also when catching an exception. In an Assert-enabled build
these omissions led to Assert failures, but I think in a normal build the
only consequence would be short-term memory leakage; which may explain why
this wasn't reported from the field long ago.
Back-patch to all supported versions. 7.4 doesn't have exceptions, but
otherwise these bugs go all the way back.

can be caught in the same places that could catch an ordinary RAISE ERROR
in the same location. The previous coding insisted on throwing the error
from the block containing the active exception handler; which is arguably
more surprising, and definitely unlike Oracle's behavior.
Not back-patching, since this is a pretty obscure corner case. The risk
of breaking somebody's code in a minor version update seems to outweigh
any possible benefit.

Eventually we should also allow functional dependency on a UNIQUE constraint

Without this patch, constraints inherited by children of a parent
table which itself has multiple inheritance parents can end up with
the wrong coninhcount. After dropping the constraint, the children
end up with a leftover copy of the constraint that is not dumped
and cannot be dropped. There is a similar problem with ALTER TABLE
.. ADD COLUMN, but that looks significantly more difficult to
resolve, so I'm committing this fix separately.
Back-patch to 8.4, which is the first release that has coninhcount.

While this hack arguably has some benefit in terms of making PL/pgsql's
line numbering match the programmer's expectations, it also makes
PL/pgsql inconsistent with the remaining PLs, making it difficult for
clients to reliably determine where the error actually is. On balance,
it seems better to be consistent.

from "clang". The VERR changes make an assignment unconditional, which is
probably easier to read/understand anyway, and one can hardly argue that
it's worth shaving cycles off the case of reporting another error when
one has already been detected. The INSIST change limits where that macro
can be used, but not in a way that creates a problem for any existing call.
