that overlap an outer join's min_righthand but aren't fully contained in it,
to support joining within the RHS after having performed an outer join that
can commute with this one. Aside from the direct fix in make_join_rel(),
fix has_join_restriction() and GEQO's desirable_join() to consider this
possibility. Per report from Ian Harding.
currently have any better strategy for this query than re-running the
sub-select over and over; it seems unlikely that doing so 10000 times
is a more useful test than doing it a few dozen times.
entries for the victim database go away sooner rather than later. We already
did the equivalent thing at the per-relation level, not sure why it's not
been done for whole databases. With this change, pgstat_vacuum_tabstat
should usually not find anything to do; though we still need it as a backstop
in case DROPDB or TABPURGE messages get lost under load.
< * Merge xmin/xmax/cmin/cmax back into three header fields

< Before subtransactions, there used to be only three fields needed to
< store these four values. This was possible because only the current
< transaction looks at the cmin/cmax values. If the current transaction
< created and expired the row the fields stored where xmin (same as
< xmax), cmin, cmax, and if the transaction was expiring a row from a
< another transaction, the fields stored were xmin (cmin was not
< needed), xmax, and cmax. Such a system worked because a transaction
< could only see rows from another completed transaction. However,
< subtransactions can see rows from outer transactions, and once the
< subtransaction completes, the outer transaction continues, requiring
< the storage of all four fields. With subtransactions, an outer
< transaction can create a row, a subtransaction expire it, and when the
< subtransaction completes, the outer transaction still has to have
< proper visibility of the row's cmin, for example, for cursors.

< One possible solution is to create a phantom cid which represents a

> * -Merge xmin/xmax/cmin/cmax back into three header fields
keeping private state in each backend that has inserted and deleted the same
tuple during its current top-level transaction. This is sufficient since
there is no need to be able to determine the cmin/cmax from any other
transaction. This gets us back down to 23-byte headers, removing a penalty
paid in 8.0 to support subtransactions. Patch by Heikki Linnakangas, with
minor revisions by moi, following a design hashed out awhile back on the
pghackers list.

get away with not (re)initializing a local variable if the variable is marked
"isconst" and not "isnull". Unfortunately it makes this decision after having
already freed the old value, meaning that something like
for i in 1..10 loop
declare c constant text := 'hi there';
leads to subsequent accesses to freed memory, and hence probably crashes.
(In particular, this is why Asif Ali Rehman's bug leads to crash and not
just an unexpectedly-NULL value for SQLERRM: SQLERRM is marked CONSTANT
and so triggers this error.)
The whole thing seems wrong on its face anyway: CONSTANT means that you can't
change the variable inside the block, not that the initializer expression is
guaranteed not to change value across successive block entries. Hence,
remove the "optimization" instead of trying to fix it.
DECLARE section needs to know about it. Formerly, everyplace besides DECLARE
that created variables needed to do "plpgsql_add_initdatums(NULL)" to prevent
those variables from being sucked up as part of a subsequent DECLARE block.
This is obviously error-prone, and in fact the SQLSTATE/SQLERRM patch had
failed to do it for those two variables, leading to the bug recently exhibited
by Asif Ali Rehman: a DECLARE within an exception handler tried to reinitialize
SQLERRM.
Although the SQLSTATE/SQLERRM patch isn't in any pre-8.1 branches, and so
I can't point to a demonstrable failure there, it seems wise to back-patch
this into the older branches anyway, just to keep the logic similar to HEAD.
For win32 in general, this makes it possible to run the regression tests
as an admin user by using the same restricted token method that's used
by pg_ctl and initdb.
For vc++, it adds building of pg_regress.exe, adds a resultmap, and
fixes how it runs the install.

will overwrite the buffer by one byte.
Also add some strlcpy() to eliminate some weird memory handling.
