also love to get this committed and address changes as incremental
patches ;-), so if there are no objections, please apply.
Below I'll give a synopsis of the changes. More detailed descriptions
are now in a new doc directory under contrib/dblink. There is also a new
dblink.test.sql file which will give a pretty good overview of the
functions and their use.

already fixed by You. However there were a few left and attached patch
should fix the rest of them.
I used StringInfo only in 2 places and both of them are inside debug
ifdefs. Only performance penalty will come from using strlen() like all
the other code does.
I also modified some of the already patched parts by changing
snprintf(buf, 2 * BUFSIZE, ... style lines to
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), ... where buf is an array.

function, connectby(), which can serve as a reference implementation for
the changes made in the last few days -- namely the ability of a
function to return an entire tuplestore, and the ability of a function
to make use of the query provided "expected" tuple description.
Description:
connectby(text relname, text keyid_fld, text parent_keyid_fld,
text start_with, int max_depth [, text branch_delim])
- returns keyid, parent_keyid, level, and an optional branch string
- requires anonymous composite type syntax in the FROM clause. See
the instructions in the documentation below.

(overlaying low byte of page size) and add HEAP_HASOID bit to t_infomask,
per earlier discussion. Simplify scheme for overlaying fields in tuple
header (no need for cmax to live in more than one place). Don't try to
clear infomask status bits in tqual.c --- not safe to do it there. Don't
try to force output table of a SELECT INTO to have OIDs, either. Get rid
of unnecessarily complex three-state scheme for TupleDesc.tdhasoids, which
has already caused one recent failure. Improve documentation.
diffs to 7.3-devel and may not be applicable to 7.2. I have included a
change covered by a previous bugfix patch I submitted (the problem with
-.1 not being accepted by cube_in). It does not include a fix for the
potential buffer overrun issue I reported for cube_yyerror in
cubeparse.y.

the same way normal tuple access operations do --- viz, using the
tupmacs.h macros att_addlength and att_align. This makes the world
safe for arrays of cstrings or intervals, and should make it much
easier to write array-type-polymorphic functions; as examples see

more work on the 'cstring' pseudo-type, but I'm going to commit the bulk
of the changes now before the tree starts shifting under me ...
snprintf() in contrib/. I didn't touch the places where pointer
arithmatic was being used, or other areas where the fix wasn't
trivial. I would think that few, if any, of the usages of sprintf()
were actually exploitable, but it's probably better to be paranoid...

composite type capability makes it possible to create a system view
based on a table function in a way that is hopefully palatable to
everyone. The attached patch takes advantage of this, moving
show_all_settings() from contrib/tablefunc into the backend (renamed
all_settings(). It is defined as a builtin returning type RECORD. During
initdb a system view is created to expose the same information presently
available through SHOW ALL. For example:
test=# select * from pg_settings where name like '%debug%';
name | setting
-----------------------+---------
debug_assertions | on
debug_pretty_print | off
debug_print_parse | off
debug_print_plan | off
debug_print_query | off
debug_print_rewritten | off
wal_debug | 0
(7 rows)
Additionally during initdb two rules are created which make it possible
to change settings by updating the system view -- a "virtual table" as
Tom put it. Here's an example:

1. Reworked patch from Andrey Oktyabrski (ano@spider.ru) with
functions: icount, sort, sort_asc, uniq, idx, subarray
operations: #, +, -, |, &
FUNCTIONS:
int icount(int[]) - the number of elements in intarray
int[] sort(int[], 'asc' | 'desc') - sort intarray
int[] sort(int[]) - sort in ascending order
int[] sort_asc(int[]),sort_desc(int[]) - shortcuts for sort
int[] uniq(int[]) - returns unique elements
int idx(int[], int item) - returns index of first intarray matching element
to item, or '0' if matching failed.
int[] subarray(int[],int START [, int LEN]) - returns part of intarray
starting from element number START (from 1)
and length LEN.
OPERATIONS:
int[] && int[] - overlap - returns TRUE if arrays has at least one common elements.
int[] @ int[] - contains - returns TRUE if left array contains right array
int[] ~ int[] - contained - returns TRUE if left array is contained in right array
# int[] - return the number of elements in array
int[] + int - push element to array ( add to end of array)
int[] + int[] - merge of arrays (right array added to the end of left one)
int[] - int - remove entries matched by right argument from array
int[] - int[] - remove left array from right
int[] | int - returns intarray - union of arguments
int[] | int[] - returns intarray as a union of two arrays
int[] & int[] - returns intersection of arrays

has_language_privilege, has_schema_privilege to let SQL queries test
all the new privilege types in 7.3. Also, add functions pg_table_is_visible,
pg_type_is_visible, pg_function_is_visible, pg_operator_is_visible,
pg_opclass_is_visible to test whether objects contained in schemas are
visible in the current search path. Do some minor cleanup to centralize
accesses to pg_database, as well.

I believe that patch also intended to remove contrib/ltree/patch.72
code review by Tom Lane. Remaining issues: functions that take or
return tuple types are likely to break if one drops (or adds!)
a column in the table defining the type. Need to think about what
to do here.
Along the way: some code review for recent COPY changes; mark system
columns attnotnull = true where appropriate, per discussion a month ago.
three functions which exercise the tablefunc API.
show_all_settings()
- returns the same information as SHOW ALL, but as a query result
normal_rand(int numvals, float8 mean, float8 stddev, int seed)
- returns a set of normally distributed float8 values
- This routine implements Algorithm P (Polar method for normal
deviates) from Knuth's _The_Art_of_Computer_Programming_, Volume 2,
3rd ed., pages 122-126. Knuth cites his source as "The polar
method", G. E. P. Box, M. E. Muller, and G. Marsaglia,
_Annals_Math,_Stat._ 29 (1958), 610-611.
crosstabN(text sql)
- returns a set of row_name plus N category value columns
- crosstab2(), crosstab3(), and crosstab4() are defined for you,
but you can create additional crosstab functions per directions
in the README.

documentation (xindex.sgml should be rewritten), need to teach pg_dump
about it, need to update contrib modules that currently build pg_opclass
entries by hand. Original patch by Bill Studenmund, grammar adjustments
and general update for 7.3 by Tom Lane.
bitmap, if present).
Per Tom Lane's suggestion the information whether a tuple has an oid
or not is carried in the tuple descriptor. For debugging reasons
tdhasoid is of type char, not bool. There are predefined values for
WITHOID, WITHOUTOID and UNDEFOID.
This patch has been generated against a cvs snapshot from last week
and I don't expect it to apply cleanly to current sources. While I
post it here for public review, I'm working on a new version against a
current snapshot. (There's been heavy activity recently; hope to
catch up some day ...)
This is a long patch; if it is too hard to swallow, I can provide it
in smaller pieces:
Part 1: Accessor macros
Part 2: tdhasoid in TupDesc
Part 3: Regression test
Part 4: Parameter withoid to heap_addheader
Part 5: Eliminate t_oid from HeapTupleHeader
Part 2 is the most hairy part because of changes in the executor and
even in the parser; the other parts are straightforward.
Up to part 4 the patched postmaster stays binary compatible to
databases created with an unpatched version. Part 5 is small (100
lines) and finally breaks compatibility.

Now includes the following new fields:
integer/float date/time storage
maximum length of names (+1; they must also include a null termination)
maximum number of function arguments
maximum length of locale name
Copy this directory to contrib/dbsize in your PostgreSQL source tree.
Then just run make; make install. Finally, load the functions into any
database using dbsize.sql.
When computing the size of a table, it does not include TOAST or index
disk space.
Fixed bug with '=' operator for gist__int_ops and
define '=' operator for gist__intbig_ops opclass.
Now '=' operator is consistent with standard 'array' type.
Thanks Achilleus Mantzios for bug report and suggestion.

yesterday's proposal to pghackers. Also remove unnecessary parameters
to heap_beginscan, heap_rescan. I modified pg_proc.h to reflect the
new numbers of parameters for the AM interface routines, but did not
force an initdb because nothing actually looks at those fields.
per pghackers discussion. Add some more typsanity tests, and clean
up some problems exposed thereby (broken or missing array types for
some built-in types). Also, clean up loose ends from unknownin/out
patch.
postgres command line utilites e.g. supports -U, -p, -h, -?, -v, password
prompt and has a "test mode". In test mode, no large objects are removed,
just reported.

objections.
Major changes:
- removed cursor wrap around input sql to allow for remote
execution of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
- dblink now returns a resource id instead of a real pointer
- added several utility functions
I'm still hoping to add explicit cursor open/fetch/close support before
7.3 is released, but I need a bit more time on that.
On a somewhat unrelated topic, I never got any feedback on the
unknownin/out patch and the mb_substring patch. Is there anything else I
need to do to get those applied?

an 'opclass owner' column in pg_opclass. Nothing is done with it at
present, but since there are plans to invent a CREATE OPERATOR CLASS
command soon, we'll probably want DROP OPERATOR CLASS too, which
suggests that a notion of ownership would be a good idea.
sequence functions how to cope with qualified names. Same code is
also used for int4notin, currtid_byrelname, pgstattuple. Also,
move TOAST tables into special pg_toast namespace.

Sorry Bruce, I was unclear. I have attached patch to Readme.tsearch
Also, It'd be worth to mention in Changes to point users of tsearch
about importang upgrade notices.

o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going
to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will
see below.
o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by
client_min_messages to NOTICE.
o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc.
to always go to the client.
o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE.
Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various
behaviors we need for these messages.
Regression passed.
CVS. It fix english stemmer's problem with ending words like
'technology'.
We have found one more bug in english stemmer. The bug is with
'irregular' english words like 'skies' -> 'sky'. Please, apply attached
cumulative patch to 7.2.1 and current CVS instead previous one.
Thank to Thomas T. Thai <tom@minnesota.com> for hard testing. This kind
of bug has significance only for dump/reload database and viewing, but
searching/indexing works right.

malloc()'s. This isn't too serious (because oid2name is a short-lived
utility, so the memory will soon be returned to the OS on process
termination), but I still think it's poor style.
This patch changes oid2name so that it allocates memory on the stack
where possible and free()s the remaining heap-allocated memory. The
patch also fixes a typo a comment and adds 'const' qualifiers to a few
'char *' function parameters.

The tarball can be rolled into contrib -- now that I think of it I don't
know why I never did that.
Never imagined this would have anything to do with that TODO item,
though.
I figured oid2name accomplished that.

At some point it was casted to (uint32*) so I wanted to be sure its ok.

I learned the hard way that
#if UNDEFINED_1 == UNDEFINED_2
#error "gcc is idiot"
#endif
prints "gcc is idiot" ...
Affected are MD5/SHA1 in internal library, and also HMAC-MD5/HMAC-SHA1/
crypt-md5 which use them. Blowfish is ok, also Rijndael on at
least x86.
Big thanks to Daniel Holtzman who send me a build log which
contained warning:

Yes, gcc is that helpful...

We have enough copies of this code that I'm thinking it ought to be
moved into libpq, but that's a task for another day.
Converted pgcrypto one too.
* Changed default randomness source to libc random()
That way pgcrypto does not have any external dependencies
and should work everywhere.
* Re-enabled pgcrypto build in contrib/makefile
* contrib/README update - there is more stuff than
only 'hash functions'
* Noted the libc random fact in README.pgcrypto

salt generation code. He also urged using better random source
and making possible to choose using bcrypt and xdes rounds more
easily. So, here's patch:
* For all salt generation, use Solar Designer's own code. This
is mostly due fact that his code is more fit for get_random_bytes()
style interface.
* New function: gen_salt(type, rounds). This lets specify iteration
count for algorithm.
* random.c: px_get_random_bytes() function.
Supported randomness soure: /dev/urandom, OpenSSL PRNG, libc random()
Default: /dev/urandom.
* Draft description of C API for pgcrypto functions.
New files: API, crypt-gensalt.c, random.c
