Print the command tag if we get PGRES_COMMAND_OK, and throw an error for
other cases. Per gripe from Michael Paquier.
In passing, add an fflush(), just to be real sure the output appears
before we sleep.
On non-Windows systems, sys/time.h was pulled in by portability/instr_time.h,
which pulled in time.h. We certainly should include time.h directly, since
we're using time(2), but the indirect include masked the problem on most
platforms.

Counting newlines shows that quite a few recent patches have neglected
to update the output-lines count given to PageOutput(). Fortunately
it's not terribly critical that this be exact, since we long since
exceeded the height of most people's terminal windows. Still, maybe
we ought to think of a way to not have to maintain this manually anymore.
For getting the server's version in numeric form, use PQserverVersion().
It does the exact same parsing as dumputils.c's parse_version(), and has
been around in libpq for a long time. For the client's version, just use
the PG_VERSION_NUM constant.
We had two copies of this function in the backend and libpq, which was
already pretty bogus, but it turns out that we need it in some other
programs that don't use libpq (such as pg_test_fsync). So put it where
it probably should have been all along. The signal-mask-initialization
support in src/backend/libpq/pqsignal.c stays where it is, though, since
we only need that in the backend.
Even though this patch had no user-visible difference, better keep the code
in psqlscan.l sync with the backend lexer. And of course it's nice to shrink
the psql binary, too. Ecpg's version of the lexer doesn't have the error
rule, it doesn't try to avoid backing up, so it doesn't need to be modified.
As reminded by Tom Lane
A materialized view has a rule just like a view and a heap and
other physical properties like a table. The rule is only used to
populate the table, references in queries refer to the
materialized data.
This is a minimal implementation, but should still be useful in
many cases. Currently data is only populated "on demand" by the
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW and REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW statements.
It is expected that future releases will add incremental updates
with various timings, and that a more refined concept of defining
what is "fresh" data will be developed. At some point it may even
be possible to have queries use a materialized in place of
references to underlying tables, but that requires the other
above-mentioned features to be working first.

implement sepgsql still pending.
This includes backend "COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM '...'" syntax, and corresponding
psql \copy syntax. Like with reading/writing files, the backend version is
superuser-only, and in the psql version, the program is run in the client.
In the passing, the psql \copy STDIN/STDOUT syntax is subtly changed: if you
the stdin/stdout is quoted, it's now interpreted as a filename. For example,
"\copy foo from 'stdin'" now reads from a file called 'stdin', not from
standard input. Before this, there was no way to specify a filename called
stdin, stdout, pstdin or pstdout.
This creates a new function in pgport, wait_result_to_str(), which can
be used to convert the exit status of a process, as returned by wait(3),
to a human-readable string.

libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the
various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate
implementations of common routines. We avoid libpgport, because that's
intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better
to keep them separate.
The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc
and friends, which many frontend programs were already using.
At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions
for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can
also be used by the frontend cleanly. To do this, we change palloc() in
the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of
MemoryContextAlloc(). This was previously believed to cause loss of
performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres
so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the
previous one.
This lets us clean up some places that were already with
localized hacks.
Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by
Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of
that. libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.
When there are zero result rows, in expanded mode, "(No rows)" is
printed. So far, there was no way to turn this off. Now, when
tuples-only mode is turned on, nothing is printed in this case.
In the previous coding, psql's state variable saying that output should
go to a file was only reset after successful completion of a query
returning tuples. Thus for example,
regression=# select 1/0
regression-# \g somefile
ERROR: division by zero
regression=# select 1/2;
regression=#
... huh, I wonder where that output went. Even more oddly, the state
was not reset even if it's the file that's causing the failure:
regression=# select 1/2 \g /foo
/foo: Permission denied
regression=# select 1/2;
/foo: Permission denied
regression=# select 1/2;
/foo: Permission denied
This seems to me not to satisfy the principle of least surprise.
\g is certainly not documented in a way that suggests its effects are
at all persistent.
To fix, adjust the code so that the flag is reset at exit from SendQuery
no matter what happened.
Noted while reviewing the \gset patch, which had comparable issues.
Arguably this is a bug fix, but I'll refrain from back-patching for now.
This ensures that mapping of non-ascii prompts
to the correct code page occurs.

Backpatch to all live branches.
Remove extra line at bottom of table for new 'latex' mode border=3.
Also update 'latex'-longtable 'tableattr' docs to say
'whitespace-separated' instead of 'space'.
On second thought, "none" could mislead to think that you're connected a
database with that name. Duplicate the whole string, so that it can be
more easily translated. In back-branches, thought, just use an empty string
in place of the database name, to avoid adding a translatable string.
Commit 729205571e added privileges on data
types, but there were a number of oversights. The implementation of
default privileges for types missed a few places, and pg_dump was
utterly innocent of the whole concept. Per bug #7741 from Nathan Alden,
and subsequent wider investigation.
client encoding and the client encoding is not *safe* one. Such an
example is, file encoding is UTF-8 and client encoding SJIS. Patch

Numerous flex and bison make rules have appeared in the source tree
over time, and they are all virtually identical, so we can replace
them by pattern rules with some variables for customization.
Users of pgxs will also be able to benefit from this.
On some platforms these functions return NULL, rather than the more common
practice of returning a pointer to a zero-sized block of memory. Hack our
various wrapper functions to hide the difference by substituting a size
request of 1. This is probably not so important for the callers, who
should never touch the block anyway if they asked for size 0 --- but it's
important for the wrapper functions themselves, which mistakenly treated
the NULL result as an out-of-memory failure. This broke at least pg_dump
for the case of no user-defined aggregates, as per report from
Matthew Carrington.
Back-patch to 9.2 to fix the pg_dump issue. Given the lack of previous
complaints, it seems likely that there is no live bug in previous releases,
even though some of these functions were in place before that.
We had a number of variants on the theme of "malloc or die", with the
majority named like "pg_malloc", but by no means all. Standardize on the
names pg_malloc, pg_malloc0, pg_realloc, pg_strdup. Get rid of pg_calloc
entirely in favor of using pg_malloc0.
This is an essentially cosmetic change, so no back-patch. (I did find
a couple of places where psql and pg_dump were using plain malloc or
strdup instead of the pg_ versions, but they don't look significant
enough to bother back-patching.)
Formerly it would only show them for relkinds 'r' and 'f' (plain tables
and foreign tables). However, as of 9.2, views can also have reloptions,
namely security_barrier. The relkind restriction seems pointless and
not at all future-proof, so just print reloptions whenever there are any.
In passing, make some cosmetic improvements to the code that pulls the
"tableinfo" fields out of the PGresult.
Noted and patched by Dean Rasheed, with adjustment for all relkinds by me.
Only warn when connecting to a newer server, since connecting to older
servers works pretty well nowadays. Also update the documentation a
little about current psql/server compatibility expectations.
