realistic estimate of startup cost to be made, per recent pgsql-performance
discussion. In passing, fix a couple of bugs that had crept into

namely that \r, \n, \t, \b, \f, \v are dumped as those two-character
representations rather than a backslash and the literal control character.
I had made it do the other to save some code, but this was ill-advised,
because dump files in which these characters appear literally are prone to
newline mangling. Fortunately, doing it the old way should only cost a few
more lines of code, and not slow down the copy loop materially.

constraint status of copied indexes (bug #3774), as well as various other
small bugs such as failure to pstrdup when needed. Allow INCLUDING INDEXES
indexes to be merged with identical declared indexes (perhaps not real useful,
but the code is there and having it not apply to LIKE indexes seems pretty
unorthogonal). Avoid useless work in generateClonedIndexStmt(). Undo some
poorly chosen API changes, and put a couple of routines in modules that seem
to be better places for them.
but no database changes have been made since the last CommandCounterIncrement.
This should result in a significant improvement in the number of "commands"
that can typically be performed within a transaction before hitting the 2^32
CommandId size limit. In particular this buys back (and more) the possible
adverse consequences of my previous patch to fix plan caching behavior.
The implementation requires tracking whether the current CommandCounter
value has been "used" to mark any tuples. CommandCounter values stored into
snapshots are presumed not to be used for this purpose. This requires some
small executor changes, since the executor used to conflate the curcid of
the snapshot it was using with the command ID to mark output tuples with.
Separating these concepts allows some small simplifications in executor APIs.
Something for the TODO list: look into having CommandCounterIncrement not do
AcceptInvalidationMessages. It seems fairly bogus to be doing it there,
but exactly where to do it instead isn't clear, and I'm disinclined to mess
with asynchronous behavior during late beta.

had been absorbed. Per report from Chris Wood.
This patch has an unpleasant side effect of causing the number of
CommandCounterIncrement()s done by a typical plpgsql function to
approximately double. Amelioration of the consequences of that
will be undertaken in a separate patch.
reloading of operator class information on each use of LookupOpclassInfo.
Had this been in place a year ago, it would have helped me find a bug
in the then-new 'operator family' code. Now that we have a build farm
member testing CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS on a regular basis, it seems worth
expending a little bit of effort here.
inappropriately generic-sounding names. This is more or less free since
we already forced initdb for the next beta, and it may prevent confusion or
name conflicts (particularly at the C-global-symbol level) down the road.
Per my proposal yesterday.
by short-circuiting schema search path and ambiguous-operator resolution
computations. Remarkably, this buys as much as 45% speedup of repetitive
simple queries that involve operators that are not an exact match to the
input datatypes. It should be marginally faster even for exact-match
cases, though I've not had success in proving an improvement in benchmark
tests. Per report from Guillame Smet and subsequent discussion.
to a UNION, CASE, or related construct are of the same domain type. The
main part of this routine smashes domains to their base types, which seems
necessary because the logic involves TypeCategory() and IsPreferredType(),
neither of which work usefully on domains. However, we can add a first
pass that just detects whether all the inputs are exactly the same type,
and if so accept that without question (so long as it's not UNKNOWN).
Per recent gripe from Dean Rasheed.
In passing, remove some tests for InvalidOid, which have clearly been dead
code for quite some time now, because getBaseType() would fail on that input.
Also, clarify the manual's not-very-precise description of the existing

This probably fixes bugs reported by Thomas Haegi.
clauselist_selectivity skip some analysis that's useless when there's only
one clause in the given list. Actually this can win even for not-so-simple
queries, because we also apply clauselist_selectivity to sublists such as the
quals matching an index; which are likely to have only a single entry even
when the total query is quite complicated.

basically useless for such setups.)
where rtoffset == 0. In that case there is no need to change Var nodes,
and since filling in unset opfuncid fields is always safe, scribbling on the
input tree to that extent is not objectionable. This brings the cost of this
operation back down to what it was in 8.2 for simple queries. Per
investigation of performance gripe from Guillaume Smet.
where the EquivalenceClass machinery is unable to deduce anything more from a
simple "var = const" qual clause. There are probably some more cases where

In passing, fix a problem that was exposed by this change:
reconsider_outer_join_clause and friends were passing the wrong relids to
build_implied_join_equality, resulting in RestrictInfos with the wrong
required_relids. This mistake was masked in typical cases since the bogus
RestrictInfos would never have escaped from the EquivalenceClass machinery,
but I think there might be corner cases involving "broken" ECs where there
would have been a visible failure even without the new optimization. In any
case the code was certainly not operating as intended.

at hand already. We'll still treat opfuncid as a cache rather than a
guaranteed-valid value, but this change saves one more syscache lookup
in the normal code path.
OpExpr and related nodes. We're going to have to set the opfuncid of
such nodes eventually (if we haven't already), so we might as well
exploit the opportunity to cache the function OID. Buys back some
of the extra planner overhead noted by Guillaume Smet, though I still
need to fool with equivclass.c to really respond to that.

Allow tag and entity names that follow XML rules. Provide for hexadecimal

GetMemoryChunkSpace, not just the palloc request size. This brings the
allocatedMemory counter close enough to reality (as measured by
MemoryContextStats printouts) that I think we can get rid of the arbitrary
factor-of-2 adjustment that was put into the code initially. Given the
sensitivity of GIN build to work memory size, not using as much of work
memory as we're allowed to seems a pretty bad idea.

we re-use the relfilenode, then crash, then replay the deletion and

the no-WAL-logging optimizations that have recently been added.

even in code paths where we don't pay any subsequent attention to the typmod
value. This seems needed in view of the fact that 8.3's generalized typmod
support will accept a lot of bogus syntax, such as "timestamp(foo)" or
"record(int, 42)" --- if we allow such things to pass without comment,
users will get confused. Per a recent example from Greg Stark.
To implement this in a way that's not very vulnerable to future
bugs-of-omission, refactor the API of parse_type.c's TypeName lookup routines
so that typmod validation is folded into the base lookup operation. Callers
can still choose not to receive the encoded typmod, but we'll check the
decoration anyway if it's present.

out that it's actually quite likely that a string that is an extension of
the given prefix will sort as larger than the "greater" string our previous
code created. To provide some defense against that, do the comparisons
against a modified string instead of just the bare prefix. We tack on
"Z", "z", "y", or "9", whichever is seen as largest in the current locale.

Backpatch as far as 7.4; AFAICT 7.3 does not have the issue, because it doesn't

it will in fact sort by that specific column even if there are multiple

SELECT random() AS a, random() AS b FROM ... ORDER BY b, a;
While the use-case for this might be a bit debatable, it worked as expected
in earlier releases, so we should preserve the behavior for 8.3. Per my
recent proposal.
While at it, fix convert_subquery_pathkeys() to handle RelabelType stripping
in both directions; it needs this for the same reasons make_sort_from_pathkeys
does.
to be able to discard top-level RelabelType nodes on *both* sides of the
equivalence-class-to-target-list comparison, since make_pathkey_from_sortinfo
might either add or remove a RelabelType. Also fix the latter to do the
removal case cleanly. Per example from Peter.
make_greater_string() try harder to generate a string that's actually greater
than its input string. Before we just assumed that making a string that was
memcmp-greater was enough, but it is easy to generate examples where this is
not so when the locale is not C. Instead, loop until the relevant comparison
function agrees that the generated string is greater than the input.
Unfortunately this is probably not enough to guarantee that the generated
string is greater than all extensions of the input, so we cannot relax the
restriction to C locale for the LIKE/regex index optimization. But it should
at least improve the odds of getting a useful selectivity estimate in
prefix_selectivity(). Per example from Guillaume Smet.
Backpatch to 8.1, mainly because that's what the complainant is using...
negated-match operators. patternsel had been using the supplied operator as
though it were a positive-match operator, and thus obtaining a wrong result,
which was even more wrong after the caller subtracted it from 1. Seems
cleanest to give patternsel an explicit "negate" argument so that it knows
what's going on. Also install the same factorization scheme for pattern
join selectivity estimators; even though they are just stubs at the
moment, this may keep someone from making the same type of mistake when
they get filled out. Per report from Greg Mullane.
Backpatch to 8.2 --- previous releases do not show the problem because
patternsel() doesn't actually use the operator directly.
Add some more xml_init() calls that might not be necessary, but seem like a
good idea to avoid possible problems like we saw in xmlelement().

assuming that evaluation of its input expressions won't change the state of
libxml. This requires refactoring xml_init() to not call xmlInitParser(),
since now not all of its callers want that. I also tweaked things to avoid
repeated execution of one-time-only tests inside xml_init(), though this is
mostly for clarity rather than in hopes of saving any noticeable amount of
runtime. Per report from Sheikh Amjad and subsequent discussion.
In passing, fix a couple of inadequately schema-qualified queries.
foreign keys, one more time. Insist on matching up all three triggers before
we create a constraint; this will avoid creation of duplicate constraints
in scenarios where a broken FK constraint was repaired by re-adding the
constraint without removing the old partial trigger set. Basically, this will
work nicely in all cases where the FK was actually functioning correctly in
the database that was dumped. It will fail to restore an FK in just one case
where we theoretically could restore it: where we find the referenced table's
triggers and not the referencing table's trigger. However, in such a scenario
it's likely that the user doesn't even realize he still has an FK at all
(since the more-likely-to-fail cases aren't enforced), and we'd probably not
accomplish much except to cause the reload to fail because the data doesn't
meet the FK constraint. Also make the NOTICE logging still more verbose, by
adding detail about which of the triggers were found. This seems about all
we can do without solving the problem of getting the user's attention at
session end.
commands into proper foreign-key constraints. Believe the constraint name
given in the trigger arguments in preference to the trigger name --- to judge
from Olivier Prenant's example, pg_dump must at some time have used the
autogenerated trigger name there, though AFAICT no current release branch tip
does. Improve the emitted NOTICEs to provide more detail (PK table's name and
column names). Handle the case where pg_dump forgot to provide the FROM table
(a bug that never did get fixed in 7.0.x apparently). This commit doesn't
do anything about the question of what to do with incomplete trigger groups.
enabled) and autovacuum is on. Since there will be a steady stream of autovac
worker processes exiting and dropping gmon.out files, allowing them to make
separate subdirectories results in serious bloat; and it seems unlikely that
anyone will care about those profiles anyway. Limit the damage by forcing all
autovac workers to dump in one subdirectory, PGDATA/gprof/avworker/.
Per report from Jrg Beyer and subsequent discussion.
trigger definitions into regular foreign key constraints. This seems
necessary given that some people evidently never did get around to
running adddepend on their schemas, and without some sort of hack the
old definitions will no longer work. Per report from Olivier Prenant
and subsequent investigation.
RelabelType nodes when the sort key is binary-compatible with the sort
operator rather than having exactly its input type. We did this correctly
for index columns but not sort keys, leading to failure to notice that
a varchar index matches an ORDER BY request. This requires a bit more work
in make_sort_from_pathkeys, but not anyplace else that I can find.
Per bug report and subsequent discussion.
Instead put in a test to drop a NULL default at the last moment before
storing the catalog entry. This changes the behavior in a couple of ways:
* Specifying DEFAULT NULL when creating an inheritance child table will
successfully suppress inheritance of any default expression from the
parent's column, where formerly it failed to do so.
* Specifying DEFAULT NULL for a column of a domain type will correctly
override any default belonging to the domain; likewise for a sub-domain.
The latter change happens because by the time the clause is checked,
it won't be a simple null Const but a CoerceToDomain expression.
Personally I think this should be back-patched, but there doesn't seem to
be consensus for that on pgsql-hackers, so refraining.
