interrogating the current xlog insertion point and for easily extracting
WAL filenames from the hex WAL locations displayed by pg_stop_backup

list, when some of the child rels have been excluded by constraint
exclusion. This doesn't save a huge amount of time but it'll save some,
and it makes the EXPLAIN output look saner. We already did the
equivalent thing in set_append_rel_pathlist(), but not here.
contradictory WHERE-clauses applied to a relation. This makes the
GUC variable constraint_exclusion rather inappropriately named,
but I've refrained for the moment from renaming it.
Per example from Martin Lesser.
This doesn't matter too much for ordinary NOTs, since prepqual.c does
its best to get rid of those, but it helps with IS NOT TRUE clauses
which the rule rewriter likes to insert. Per example from Martin Lesser.
that's shorter-lived than the expression state being evaluated in it really
doesn't work :-( --- we end up with fn_extra caches getting deleted while
still in use. Rather than abandon the notion of caching expression state
across domain_in calls altogether, I chose to make domain_in a bit cozier
with ExprContext. All we really need for evaluating variable-free
expressions is an ExprContext, not an EState, so I invented the notion of a
"standalone" ExprContext. domain_in can prevent resource leakages by doing
a ReScanExprContext on this rather than having to free it entirely; so we
can make the ExprContext have the same lifespan (and particularly the same
per_query memory context) as the expression state structs.
the DROP pass rather than the ADD_CONSTR pass. On examining the code I
think this was just an oversight rather than intentional, and it seems
to satisfy the principle of least surprise better than the alternative
solution that was discussed. Add an example to the ref page showing how
to do ALTER TYPE and update the default in one command. Per gripe from
Markus Bertheau that that wasn't possible.
check). This isn't supported by pg_regress since the recent rewrite
into C. While we could add char classes to pg_regress.c's code, it's
not really needed at the moment: thanks to Andrew's patch to make
pg_regress always accept the 'standard' comparison file, we can just
drop the version check.
temporary context that can be reset when advancing to the next sublist.
This is faster and more thorough at recovering space than the previous
method; moreover it will do the right thing if something in the sublist
tries to register an expression context callback.
(e.g. "INSERT ... VALUES (...), (...), ...") and elsewhere as allowed
by the spec. (e.g. similar to a FROM clause subselect). initdb required.
