Magnus Hagander 413d34be4e Add configuration parameter ssl_renegotiation_limit to control
how often we do SSL session key renegotiation. Can be set to
0 to disable renegotiation completely, which is required if
a broken SSL library is used (broken patches to CVE-2009-3555
a known cause) or when using a client library that can't do
renegotiation.

Tom Lane 11b5847058 Add an OR REPLACE option to CREATE LANGUAGE.
This operates in the same way as other CREATE OR REPLACE commands, ie,
it replaces everything but the ownership and ACL lists of an existing
entry, and requires the caller to have owner privileges for that entry.

While modifying an existing language has some use in development scenarios,
in typical usage all the "replaced" values come from pg_pltemplate so there
will be no actual change in the language definition.  The reason for adding
this is mainly to allow programs to ensure that a language exists without
triggering an error if it already does exist.

This commit just adds and documents the new option.  A followon patch
will use it to clean up some unpleasant cases in pg_dump and pg_regress.

Tom Lane 750ff8bdf7 Tweak description of payload parameter. 2010-02-17 00:57:06 +00:00
Tom Lane d1e027221d Replace the pg_listener-based LISTEN/NOTIFY mechanism with an in-memory queue.
In addition, add support for a "payload" string to be passed along with
each notify event.

This implementation should be significantly more efficient than the old one,
and is also more compatible with Hot Standby usage.  There is not yet any
facility for HS slaves to receive notifications generated on the master,
although such a thing is possible in future.
