It's missing in older versions too, but it doesn't seem worth
back-porting. All negative are just harmlessly treated as "no limit", and
tightening the check might even brake an application that relies on it.
encoding conversion functions. These are not can't-happen cases because
it's possible to create a conversion with the wrong conversion function
for the specified encoding pair. That would lead to an Assert crash in
an Assert-enabled build, or incorrect conversion otherwise, neither of
which is desirable. This would be a DOS issue if production databases
were customarily built with asserts enabled, but fortunately that's not so.
Per an observation by Heikki.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
to the documented API value. The previous code got it right as
it's implemented, but accepted too much/too little compared to
the API documentation.
Per comment from Zdenek Kotala.
refactor the relcache code that used to do that. This allows other callers
(particularly autovacuum) to do the same without necessarily having to open
and lock a table.
pages were marked as clean as well. The idea is to avoid defeating OS
readahead by skipping a page here and there, and also makes it less likely
that we miss an opportunity to advance relfrozenxid, for the sake of only
a few skipped pages.
case that the command is rewritten into another type of command. The old
behavior to return the command tag of the last executed command was
pretty surprising. In PL/pgSQL, for example, it meant that if a command
was rewritten to a utility statement, FOUND wasn't set at all.
Also, if linked against other versions than the default MSVCRT library
(for example the MSVC build which links against MSVCRT80), also update
the cache in the default MSVCRT at the same time.
This should fix the issues with setting LC_MESSAGES on the MSVC build.
Original patch from Hiroshi Inoue and Hiroshi Saito, much rewritten
by me.
be used instead of the normal exclusive lock, and make WAL redo functions
responsible for calling RestoreBkpBlocks(). They know better what kind of a
lock they need.
At the moment, this just moves things around with no functional change, but
makes the hot standby patch that's under review cleaner.
CREATE/ALTER/DROP USER MAPPING are now allowed either by the server owner or
by a user with USAGE privileges for his own user name. This is more or less
what the SQL standard wants anyway (plus "implementation-defined")
Hide information_schema.user_mapping_options.option_value, unless the current
user is the one associated with the user mapping, or is the server owner and
the mapping is for PUBLIC, or is a superuser. This is to protect passwords.
Also, fix a bug in information_schema._pg_foreign_servers, which hid servers
using wrappers where the current user did not have privileges on the wrapper.
The correct behavior is to hide servers where the current user has no
privileges on the server.

equally (in glibc: et_EE, sv_SE, tk_TM). It turns out that this was
already taken care of previously by select_1.out, which I had forgotten to
update for an unrelated change. But might as well avoid the issue
altogether.
array types for composite types. Although pg_dump understood it wasn't
supposed to dump these array types as separate objects, it must include
them in the dependency ordering analysis, and it was improperly assigning them
the same relatively-high sort priority as regular types. This resulted in
effectively moving composite types and tables up to that same high priority,
which broke any ordering requirements that weren't explicitly enforced by
dependencies. In particular user-defined operator classes, which should come
out before tables, failed to do so. Per report from Brendan Jurd.
In passing, also fix an ill-considered decision to give text search objects
the same sort priority as functions and operators --- the sort result looks
a lot nicer if different object types are kept separate. The recent
foreign-data patch had copied that decision, making the sort ordering even
messier :-(
