Tom Lane d007a95055 Simple constraint exclusion. For now, only child tables of inheritance
scans are candidates for exclusion; this should be fixed eventually.

Tom Lane 29094193f5 Integrate autovacuum functionality into the backend. There's still a
few loose ends to be dealt with, but it seems to work.  Alvaro Herrera,
based on the contrib code by Matthew O'Connor.

Tom Lane d395aecffa Code review for escape-strings patch. Sync psql and plpgsql lexers
with main, avoid using a SQL-defined SQLSTATE for what is most definitely
not a SQL-compatible error condition, fix documentation omissions,
adhere to message style guidelines, don't use two GUC_REPORT variables
when one is sufficient.  Nothing done about pg_dump issues.

Bruce Momjian bb3cce4ec9 Add E'' syntax so eventually normal strings can treat backslashes
literally.

Add GUC variables:

        "escape_string_warning" - warn about backslashes in non-E strings
        "escape_string_syntax" - supports E'' syntax?
        "standard_compliant_strings" - treats backslashes literally in ''

Update code to use E'' when escapes are used.

Tom Lane 6f7fc0bade Cause initdb to create a third standard database "postgres", which
unlike template0 and template1 does not have any special status in
terms of backend functionality.  However, all external utilities such
as createuser and createdb now connect to "postgres" instead of
template1, and the documentation is changed to encourage people to use
"postgres" instead of template1 as a play area.  This should fix some
longstanding gotchas involving unexpected propagation of database
objects by createdb (when you used template1 without understanding
the implications), as well as ameliorating the problem that CREATE
DATABASE is unhappy if anyone else is connected to template1.
Patch by Dave Page, minor editing by Tom Lane.  All per recent
pghackers discussions.

Bruce Momjian 954f6bcffe Add GUC krb_server_hostname so the server hostname can be specified as

an entry in the keytab can be used.

Bruce Momjian 6c2ba14d8d This patch against 8.0.0beta1 source adds log_line_prefix options for
millisecond timestamps (%m) and remote host (%h). The milliseconds are
useful for QPS measurements.

Bruce Momjian 72c53ac3a7 Allow kerberos name and username case sensitivity to be specified from
postgresql.conf.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------


Here's an updated version of the patch, with the following changes:

1) No longer uses "service name" as "application version". It's instead
hardcoded as "postgres". It could be argued that this part should be
backpatched to 8.0, but it doesn't make a big difference until you can
start changing it with GUC / connection parameters. This change only
affects kerberos 5, not 4.

2) Now downcases kerberos usernames when the client is running on win32.

3) Adds guc option for "krb_caseins_users" to make the server ignore
case mismatch which is required by some KDCs such as Active Directory.
Off by default, per discussion with Tom. This change only affects
kerberos 5, not 4.

4) Updated so it doesn't conflict with the rendevouz/bonjour patch
already in ;-)

Tom Lane 14c7fba3f7 Rethink original decision to use AND/OR Expr nodes to represent bitmap
logic operations during planning.  Seems cleaner to create two new Path
node types, instead --- this avoids duplication of cost-estimation code.
Also, create an enable_bitmapscan GUC parameter to control use of bitmap
plans.

Neil Conway eb4b7a0b77 Change the default setting of "add_missing_from" to false. This has been
the long-term plan for this behavior for quite some time, but it is only
possible now that DELETE has a USING clause so that the user can join
other tables in a DELETE statement without relying on this behavior.

Tom Lane 8c85a34a3b Officially decouple FUNC_MAX_ARGS from INDEX_MAX_KEYS, and set the
former to 100 by default.  Clean up some of the less necessary
dependencies on FUNC_MAX_ARGS; however, the biggie (FunctionCallInfoData)
remains.

Bruce Momjian b1f57d88f5 Change Win32 O_SYNC method to O_DSYNC because that is what the method
currently does.  This is now the default Win32 wal sync method because
we perfer o_datasync to fsync.

Also, change Win32 fsync to a new wal sync method called
fsync_writethrough because that is the behavior of _commit, which is
what is used for fsync on Win32.

Backpatch to 8.0.X.

Neil Conway ff02d0a052 Make default_with_oids default to false -- user-created tables will now
no longer include OIDs, unless WITH OIDS is specified or the
default_with_oids configuration parameter is enabled. Update the docs
accordingly.

Tom Lane 5d5087363d Replace the BufMgrLock with separate locks on the lookup hashtable and
the freelist, plus per-buffer spinlocks that protect access to individual
shared buffer headers.  This requires abandoning a global freelist (since
the freelist is a global contention point), which shoots down ARC and 2Q
as well as plain LRU management.  Adopt a clock sweep algorithm instead.
Preliminary results show substantial improvement in multi-backend situations.

Tom Lane ea23ec82c2 Remove GUC USERLIMIT variable category, making the affected variables
plain SUSET instead.  Also delay processing of options received in
client connection request until after we know if the user is a superuser,
so that SUSET values can be set that way by legitimate superusers.
Per recent discussion.

Tom Lane 98e8b48053 Create 'default_tablespace' GUC variable that supplies a TABLESPACE
clause implicitly whenever one is not given explicitly.  Remove concept
of a schema having an associated tablespace, and simplify the rules for
selecting a default tablespace for a table or index.  It's now just
(a) explicit TABLESPACE clause; (b) default_tablespace if that's not an
empty string; (c) database's default.  This will allow pg_dump to use
SET commands instead of tablespace clauses to determine object locations
(but I didn't actually make it do so).  All per recent discussions.
