For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created,

as those for inherited columns; that is, it's no longer allowed for a child
table to not have a check constraint matching one that exists on a parent.
This satisfies the principle of least surprise (rows selected from the parent
will always appear to meet its check constraints) and eliminates some
longstanding bogosity in pg_dump, which formerly had to guess about whether
check constraints were really inherited or not.
The implementation involves adding conislocal and coninhcount columns to
pg_constraint (paralleling attislocal and attinhcount in pg_attribute)
and refactoring various ALTER TABLE actions to be more like those for
columns.

a user-supplied TID is out of range for the relation. This is needed to
preserve compatibility with our pre-8.3 behavior, and it is sensible anyway
since if the query were implemented by brute force rather than optimized

never an error. Per gripe from Gurjeet Singh.

ordinary expressions. This probably doesn't catch every single case
where you might get "cache lookup failed for function 0" for use of a
shell operator, but it will catch most. Per bug #4120 from Pedro Gimeno.
This patch incidentally folds make_op_expr() into its sole remaining
caller --- the alternative was to give it yet more arguments, which
didn't seem an improvement.
output is not of the same type that's needed for the IN comparison (ie,
where the parser inserted an implicit coercion above the subselect result).
We should record the coerced expression, not just a raw Var referencing
the subselect output, as the quantity that needs to be unique-ified if
we choose to implement the IN as Unique followed by a plain join.
As of 8.3 this error was causing crashes, as seen in bug #4113 from Javier
Hernandez, because the executor was being told to hash or sort the raw
subselect output column using operators appropriate to the coerced type.
In prior versions there was no crash because the executor chose the
hash or sort operators for itself based on the column type it saw.
However, that's still not really right, because what's unique for one data
type might not be unique for another. In corner cases we could get multiple
outputs of a row that should appear only once, as demonstrated by the
regression test case included in this commit.
However, this patch doesn't apply cleanly to 8.2 or before, and the code
involved has shifted enough over time that I'm hesitant to try to back-patch.
Given the lack of complaints from the field about such corner cases, I think
the bug may not be important enough to risk breaking other things with a
back-patch.
UPDATE/SHARE couldn't occur as a subquery in a query with a non-SELECT
top-level operation. Symptoms included outright failure (as in report from
Mark Mielke) and silently neglecting to take the requested row locks.

is a regression from 8.2. I'm a bit hesitant to back-patch further given the
lack of field complaints.

place to prevent reusing relation OIDs before next checkpoint, and DROP
DATABASE. First, if a database was dropped, bgwriter would still try to unlink
the files that the rmtree() call by the DROP DATABASE command has already
deleted, or is just about to delete. Second, if a database is dropped, and
another database is created with the same OID, bgwriter would in the worst
case delete a relation in the new database that happened to get the same OID
as a dropped relation in the old database.
To fix these race conditions:
- make rmtree() ignore ENOENT errors. This fixes the 1st race condition.
- make ForgetDatabaseFsyncRequests forget unlink requests as well.
- force checkpoint on in dropdb on all platforms
Since ForgetDatabaseFsyncRequests() is asynchronous, the 2nd change isn't
enough on its own to fix the problem of dropping and creating a database with
same OID, but forcing a checkpoint on DROP DATABASE makes it sufficient.

representation of the plan tree. The latter display is still available for
those who really want it (see debug_print_plan), but uses for it are certainly
few and and far between. Per discussion.
This patch also removes the explain_pretty_print GUC, which is obsoleted
by the change.
we had several code paths where a physical tlist could be used for the input
to a Sort node, which is a dumb idea because any unneeded table columns will
increase the volume of data the sort has to push around.
(Unfortunately the easy-looking fix of calling disuse_physical_tlist during
make_sort_xxx doesn't work because in most cases we're already committed to
the current input tlist --- it's been marked with sort column numbers, or
we've built grouping column numbers using it, etc. The tlist has to be
selected properly at the calling level before we start constructing sort-col
information. This is easy enough to do, we were just failing to take the
point into consideration.)
Back-patch to 8.3. I believe the problem probably exists clear back to 7.4
when the physical tlist optimization was added, but I'm afraid to back-patch
further than 8.3 without a great deal more study than I want to put into it.
The code in this area has drifted a lot over time. The real-world importance
of these code paths is uncertain anyway --- I think in many cases we'd
probably prefer hash-based methods.

corrupted. (Neither is very important if SIGTERM is used to shut down the
whole database cluster together, but there's a problem if someone tries to
SIGTERM individual backends.) To do this, introduce new infrastructure
macros PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP/PG_END_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP that take care
of transiently pushing an on_shmem_exit cleanup hook. Also use this method
for createdb cleanup --- that wasn't a shared-memory-corruption problem,
but SIGTERM abort of createdb could leave orphaned files lying around.
Backpatch as far as 8.2. The shmem corruption cases don't exist in 8.1,
and the createdb usage doesn't seem important enough to risk backpatching
further.
it is trying to build a relcache entry for. This is an oversight in my 8.2
patch that tried to ensure we always took a lock on a relation before trying
to build its relcache entry. The implication is that if someone committed a
reindex of a critical system index at about the same time that some other
backend were starting up without a valid pg_internal.init file, the second one
might PANIC due to not seeing any valid version of the index's pg_class row.
Improbable case, but definitely not impossible.

discussion. The main immediate benefit of this is that we no longer need
8.3's ugly hack of requiring @@@ rather than @@ to test weight-using tsquery

other queries better than is done now, by detecting at runtime whether the
index match is exact or not.
Tom Lane, after an idea of Heikki's, and with some help from Teodor.
no particular need to do get_op_opfamily_properties() while building an
indexscan plan. Postpone that lookup until executor start. This simplifies
createplan.c a lot more than it complicates nodeIndexscan.c, and makes things
more uniform since we already had to do it that way for RowCompare
expressions. Should be a bit faster too, at least for plans that aren't
re-used many times, since we avoid palloc'ing and perhaps copying the
intermediate list data structure.
instead of plan time. Extend the amgettuple API so that the index AM returns
a boolean indicating whether the indexquals need to be rechecked, and make
that rechecking happen in nodeIndexscan.c (currently the only place where
it's expected to be needed; other callers of index_getnext are just erroring
out for now). For the moment, GIN and GIST have stub logic that just always
sets the recheck flag to TRUE --- I'm hoping to get Teodor to handle pushing
that control down to the opclass consistent() functions. The planner no
longer pays any attention to amopreqcheck, and that catalog column will go
away in due course.
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.

systable_endscan_ordered that have API similar to systable_beginscan etc
(in particular, the passed-in scankeys have heap not index attnums),
but guarantee ordered output, unlike the existing functions. For the moment
these are just very thin wrappers around index_beginscan/index_getnext/etc.
Someday they might need to get smarter; but for now this is just a code
refactoring exercise to reduce the number of direct callers of index_getnext,
in preparation for changing that function's API.
In passing, remove index_getnext_indexitem, which has been dead code for
quite some time, and will have even less use than that in the presence
of run-time-lossy indexes.
input functions that include garbage bytes in their results. Provide a
compile-time option RANDOMIZE_ALLOCATED_MEMORY to make palloc fill returned
blocks with variable contents. This option also makes the parser perform
conversions of literal constants twice and compare the results, emitting a
WARNING if they don't match. (This is the code I used to catch the input
function bugs fixed in the previous commit.) For the moment, I've set it
to be activated automatically by --enable-cassert.
results to contain uninitialized, unpredictable values. While this was okay
as far as the datatypes themselves were concerned, it's a problem for the
parser because occurrences of the "same" literal might not be recognized as
equal by datumIsEqual (and hence not by equal()). It seems sufficient to fix
this in the input functions since the only critical use of equal() is in the
parser's comparisons of ORDER BY and DISTINCT expressions.
Per a trouble report from Marc Cousin.
Patch all the way back. Interestingly, array_in did not have the bug before
8.2, which may explain why the issue went unnoticed for so long.
indexscan always occurs in one call, and the results are returned in a
TIDBitmap instead of a limited-size array of TIDs. This should improve
speed a little by reducing AM entry/exit overhead, and it is necessary
infrastructure if we are ever to support bitmap indexes.
In an only slightly related change, add support for TIDBitmaps to preserve
(somewhat lossily) the knowledge that particular TIDs reported by an index
need to have their quals rechecked when the heap is visited. This facility
is not really used yet; we'll need to extend the forced-recheck feature to
plain indexscans before it's useful, and that hasn't been coded yet.
The intent is to use it to clean up 8.3's horrid @@@ kluge for text search
with weighted queries. There might be other uses in future, but that one
alone is sufficient reason.

modules are built. Foremost, it creates a solid distinction between these two
types of targets based on what had already been implemented and duplicated in
ad hoc ways before. Specifically,
- Dynamically loadable modules no longer get a soname. The numbers previously
set in the makefiles were dummy numbers anyway, and the presence of a soname
upset a few packaging tools, so it is nicer not to have one.
- The cumbersome detour taken on installation (build a libfoo.so.0.0.0 and
then override the rule to install foo.so instead) is removed.
- Lots of duplicated code simplified.
data. This makes for a significant speedup at the cost that the results
now vary between little-endian and big-endian machines; which forces us
to add explicit ORDER BYs in a couple of regression tests to preserve
machine-independent comparison results. Also, force initdb by bumping
catversion, since the contents of hash indexes will change (at least on
big-endian machines).

to convince ourselves that that doesn't degrade the quality of the hashing.

algorithm. This is a good deal slower than our old roundoff-error-prone
code for long inputs, so we keep the old code for use in the transcendental
functions, where everything is approximate anyway. Also create a
user-accessible function div(numeric, numeric) to provide access to the
exact result of trunc(x/y) --- since the regular numeric / operator will
round off its result, simply computing that expression in SQL doesn't
reliably give the desired answer. This fixes bug #3387 and various related
corner cases, and improves the usefulness of PG for high-precision integer
arithmetic.
classed all as "dead"; also get it to count DEAD item pointers as dead rows,
instead of ignoring them as before. Also improve matters so that tuples
previously inserted or deleted by our own transaction are handled nicely:
the stats collector's live-tuple and dead-tuple counts will end up correct
after our transaction ends, regardless of whether we end in commit or abort.
While there's more work that could be done to improve the counting of in-doubt
tuples in both VACUUM and ANALYZE, this commit is enough to alleviate some
known bad behaviors in 8.3; and the other stuff that's been discussed seems
like research projects anyway.

responsible for copying the query string into the new Portal. Such copying
is unnecessary in the common code path through exec_simple_query, and in
this case it can be enormously expensive because the string might contain
a large number of individual commands; we were copying the entire, long
string for each command, resulting in O(N^2) behavior for N commands.
(This is the cause of bug #4079.) A second problem with it is that
PortalDefineQuery really can't risk error, because if it elog's before
having set up the Portal, we will leak the plancache refcount that the
caller is trying to hand off to the portal. So go back to the design in
which the caller is responsible for making sure everything is copied into
the portal if necessary.
that is commands that have out-of-line parameters but the plan is prepared
assuming that the parameter values are constants. This is needed for the
plpgsql EXECUTE USING patch, but will probably have use elsewhere.
This commit includes the SPI functions and documentation, but no callers
nor regression tests. The upcoming EXECUTE USING patch will provide
regression-test coverage. I thought committing this separately made
sense since it's logically a distinct feature.
eval_const_expressions needs to be passed the PlannerInfo ("root") structure,
because in some cases we want it to substitute values for Param nodes.
(So "constant" is not so constant as all that ...) This mistake partially
disabled optimization of unnamed extended-Query statements in 8.3: in
particular the LIKE-to-indexscan optimization would never be applied if the
LIKE pattern was passed as a parameter, and constraint exclusion depending
on a parameter value didn't work either.

key files that are similar to the one for the postmaster's data directory
permissions check. (I chose to standardize on that one since it's the most
heavily used and presumably best-wordsmithed by now.) Also eliminate explicit
tests on file ownership in these places, since the ensuing read attempt must
fail anyway if it's wrong, and there seems no value in issuing the same error
message for distinct problems. (But I left in the explicit ownership test in
postmaster.c, since it had its own error message anyway.) Also be more
specific in the documentation's descriptions of these checks. Per a gripe
from Kevin Hunter.
The places that did, eg,
(statbuf.st_mode & S_IFMT) == S_IFDIR
were correct, but there is no good reason not to use S_ISDIR() instead,
especially when that's what the other 90% of our code does. The places
that did, eg,
(statbuf.st_mode & S_IFDIR)
were flat out *wrong* and would fail in various platform-specific ways,
eg a symlink could be mistaken for a regular file on most Unixen.
The actual impact of this is probably small, since the problem cases
seem to always involve symlinks or sockets, which are unlikely to be
found in the directories that PG code might be scanning. But it's
clearly trouble waiting to happen, so patch all the way back anyway.
(There seem to be no occurrences of the mistake in 7.4.)

optimize_minmax_aggregates succeeds. So we might as well apply the
optimization in any case.
I'll leave 8.3 as it was, since this version is a tad more invasive
than my earlier patch.
the query result must be exactly one row (since we don't do this when there's
any GROUP BY). Therefore any ORDER BY or DISTINCT attached to the query is
useless and can be dropped. Aside from saving useless cycles, this protects
us against problems with matching the hacked-up tlist entries to sort clauses,
as seen in a bug report from Taiki Yamaguchi. We might need to work harder
if we ever try to optimize grouped queries with this approach, but this
solution will do for now.
