Peter Eisentraut c29c578908 Don't use SGML empty tags
For DocBook XML compatibility, don't use SGML empty tags (</>) anymore,
replace by the full tag name.  Add a warning option to catch future
occurrences.

Peter Eisentraut 3371e4d9b1 Change default of log_directory to 'log'
The previous default 'pg_log' might have indicated by its "pg_" prefix
that it is an internal system directory.  The new default is more in
line with the typical naming of directories with user-facing log files.
Together with the renaming of pg_clog and pg_xlog, this should clear up
that difference.

Tom Lane 8e91e12bc3 Allow contrib/file_fdw to read from a program, like COPY FROM PROGRAM.
This patch just exposes COPY's FROM PROGRAM option in contrib/file_fdw.
There don't seem to be any security issues with that that are any worse
than what already exist with file_fdw and COPY; as in the existing cases,
only superusers are allowed to control what gets executed.

A regression test case might be nice here, but choosing a 100% portable
command to run is hard.  (We haven't got a test for COPY FROM PROGRAM
itself, either.)

Andrew Dunstan 3b5e03dca2 Provide a FORCE NULL option to COPY in CSV mode.
This forces an input field containing the quoted null string to be
returned as a NULL. Without this option, only unquoted null strings
behave this way. This helps where some CSV producers insist on quoting
every field, whether or not it is needed. The option takes a list of
fields, and only applies to those columns. There is an equivalent
column-level option added to file_fdw.

Tom Lane 21734d2fb8 Support writable foreign tables.
This patch adds the core-system infrastructure needed to support updates
on foreign tables, and extends contrib/postgres_fdw to allow updates
against remote Postgres servers.  There's still a great deal of room for
improvement in optimization of remote updates, but at least there's basic
functionality there now.

The CREATE EXTENSION step does this automatically. Doing it again will
cause an error.

Tom Lane 86a3f2d492 Add FORCE_NOT_NULL support to the file_fdw foreign data wrapper.
This is implemented as a per-column boolean option, rather than trying
to match COPY's convention of a single option listing the column names.

Itagaki Takahiro 3cba8240a1 Add ENCODING option to COPY TO/FROM and file_fdw.
File encodings can be specified separately from client encoding.
If not specified, client encoding is used for backward compatibility.

Cases when the encoding doesn't match client encoding are slower
than matched cases because we don't have conversion procs for other
encodings. Performance improvement would be be a future work.

Original patch by Hitoshi Harada, and modified by me.

Tom Lane 7c5d0ae707 Add contrib/file_fdw foreign-data wrapper for reading files via COPY.
This is both very useful in its own right, and an important test case
for the core FDW support.

This commit includes a small refactoring of copy.c to expose its option
checking code as a separately callable function.  The original patch
submission duplicated hundreds of lines of that code, which seemed pretty
unmaintainable.
