Commit 0eea8047bf introduced some overly
optimistic assumptions about what could be in a local struct variable's
initializer. (This might in fact be valid code according to C99, but I've
got at least one pre-C99 compiler that falls over on those nonconstant
address expressions.) There is no reason whatsoever for main()'s workspace
to not be static, so revert long_options[] to a static and make the
DumpOptions struct static as well.
Most pg_dump.c global variables, which were passed down individually to
dumping routines, are now grouped as members of the new DumpOptions
struct, which is used as a local variable and passed down into routines
that need it. This helps future development efforts; in particular it
is said to enable a mode in which a parallel pg_dump run can output
multiple streams, and have them restored in parallel.
Also take the opportunity to clean up the pg_dump header files somewhat,
to avoid circularity.

Building on the updatable security-barrier views work, add the
ability to define policies on tables to limit the set of rows
which are returned from a query and which are allowed to be added
to a table. Expressions defined by the policy for filtering are
added to the security barrier quals of the query, while expressions
defined to check records being added to a table are added to the
with-check options of the query.
New top-level commands are CREATE/ALTER/DROP POLICY and are
controlled by the table owner. Row Security is able to be enabled
and disabled by the owner on a per-table basis using
ALTER TABLE .. ENABLE/DISABLE ROW SECURITY.
Per discussion, ROW SECURITY is disabled on tables by default and
must be enabled for policies on the table to be used. If no
policies exist on a table with ROW SECURITY enabled, a default-deny
policy is used and no records will be visible.
By default, row security is applied at all times except for the
table owner and the superuser. A new GUC, row_security, is added
which can be set to ON, OFF, or FORCE. When set to FORCE, row
security will be applied even for the table owner and superusers.
When set to OFF, row security will be disabled when allowed and an
error will be thrown if the user does not have rights to bypass row
security.
Per discussion, pg_dump sets row_security = OFF by default to ensure
that exports and backups will have all data in the table or will
error if there are insufficient privileges to bypass row security.
A new option has been added to pg_dump, --enable-row-security, to
ask pg_dump to export with row security enabled.
A new role capability, BYPASSRLS, which can only be set by the
superuser, is added to allow other users to be able to bypass row
security using row_security = OFF.
Many thanks to the various individuals who have helped with the
design, particularly Robert Haas for his feedback.

This option makes pg_dump, pg_dumpall and pg_restore inject an IF EXISTS
clause to each DROP command they emit. (In pg_dumpall, the clause is
not added to individual objects drops, but rather to the CREATE DATABASE
commands, as well as CREATE ROLE and CREATE TABLESPACE.)
This allows for a better user dump experience when using --clean in case
some objects do not already exist. Per bug #7873 by Dave Rolsky.

We already did this for -t (--table) in 9.3, but missed the other similar
options. For consistency, allow all of them to be specified multiple times.
Unfortunately it's too late to sneak this into 9.3, so commit to master
only.
New infrastructure is added which creates a set number of workers
(threads on Windows, forked processes on Unix). Jobs are then
handed out to these workers by the master process as needed.
pg_restore is adjusted to use this new infrastructure in place of the
old setup which created a new worker for each step on the fly. Parallel
dumps acquire a snapshot clone in order to stay consistent, if
available.
The parallel option is selected by the -j / --jobs command line
parameter of pg_dump.

On top of the previous support in pg_dump, add support to specify
multiple tables (by using the -t option multiple times) to
pg_restore, clsuterdb, reindexdb and vacuumdb.

The initial implementation of pg_dump's --section option supposed that the
existing --schema-only and --data-only options could be made equivalent to
--section settings. This is wrong, though, due to dubious but long since
set-in-stone decisions about where to dump SEQUENCE SET items, as seen in
bug report from Martin Pitt. (And I'm not totally convinced there weren't
other bugs, either.) Undo that coupling and instead drive --section
filtering off current-section state tracked as we scan through the TOC
list to call _tocEntryRequired().
To make sure those decisions don't shift around and hopefully save a few
cycles, run _tocEntryRequired() only once per TOC entry and save the result
in a new TOC field. This required minor rejiggering of ACL handling but
also allows a far cleaner implementation of inhibit_data_for_failed_table.
Also, to ensure that pg_dump and pg_restore have the same behavior with
respect to the --section switches, add _tocEntryRequired() filtering to
WriteToc() and WriteDataChunks(), rather than trying to implement section
filtering in an entirely orthogonal way in dumpDumpableObject(). This
required adjusting the handling of the special ENCODING and STDSTRINGS
items, but they were pretty weird before anyway.
Minor other code review for the patch, too.
This was for demonstration only, and now it was creating compiler
warnings from zlib without an obvious fix (see also
d923125b77), let's just remove it. The
"directory" format is presumably similar enough anyway.
Parallel pg_dump wants to have multiple ArchiveHandle objects, and
therefore multiple PGconns, in play at the same time. This should
be just about the end of the refactoring that we need in order to
make that workable.
Instead, everything that needs the Archive object now gets it as a
parameter. This is necessary infrastructure for parallel pg_dump,
but is also amply justified by the ugliness of the current code
(though a lot more than this is needed to fix that problem).
Valid values are --pre-data, data and post-data. The option can be
given more than once. --schema-only is equivalent to
--section=pre-data --section=post-data. --data-only is equivalent
to --section=data.

Since this is a corner case behavioral change, I'm going to be conservative

the server version check is now always enforced. Relax the version check to
allow a server that is of pg_dump's own major version but a later minor
version; this is the only case that -i was at all safe to use in.
pg_restore already enforced only a very weak version check, so this is
really just a documentation change for it.

hosting product, on both shared and dedicated machines. We currently
offer Oracle and MySQL, and it would be a nice middle-ground.
However, as shipped, PostgreSQL lacks the following features we need
that MySQL has:
1. The ability to listen only on a particular IP address. Each
hosting customer has their own IP address, on which all of their
servers (http, ftp, real media, etc.) run.
2. The ability to place the Unix-domain socket in a mode 700 directory.
This allows us to automatically create an empty database, with an
empty DBA password, for new or upgrading customers without having
to interactively set a DBA password and communicate it to (or from)
the customer. This in turn cuts down our install and upgrade times.
3. The ability to connect to the Unix-domain socket from within a
change-rooted environment. We run CGI programs chrooted to the
user's home directory, which is another reason why we need to be
able to specify where the Unix-domain socket is, instead of /tmp.
4. The ability to, if run as root, open a pid file in /var/run as
root, and then setuid to the desired user. (mysqld -u can almost
do this; I had to patch it, too).
The patch below fixes problem 1-3. I plan to address #4, also, but
haven't done so yet. These diffs are big enough that they should give
the PG development team something to think about in the meantime :-)
Also, I'm about to leave for 2 weeks' vacation, so I thought I'd get
out what I have, which works (for the problems it tackles), now.
With these changes, we can set up and run PostgreSQL with scripts the
same way we can with apache or proftpd or mysql.
In summary, this patch makes the following enhancements:
1. Adds an environment variable PGUNIXSOCKET, analogous to MYSQL_UNIX_PORT,
and command line options -k --unix-socket to the relevant programs.
2. Adds a -h option to postmaster to set the hostname or IP address to
listen on instead of the default INADDR_ANY.
3. Extends some library interfaces to support the above.
4. Fixes a few memory leaks in PQconnectdb().
The default behavior is unchanged from stock 7.0.2; if you don't use
any of these new features, they don't change the operation.
