The heuristic for when to dump a cast failed for a cast between table
rowtypes, as reported by Frédéric Rejol. Fix it by setting
the "dump" flag for such a type the same way as the flag is set for the
underlying table or base type. This won't result in the auto-generated
type appearing in the output, since setting its objType to DO_DUMMY_TYPE
unconditionally suppresses that. But it will result in dumpCast doing what
was intended.
Back-patch to 8.3. The 8.2 code is rather different in this area, and it
doesn't seem worth any risk to fix a corner case that nobody has stumbled
on before.
This view was being insufficiently careful about matching the FK constraint
to the depended-on primary or unique key constraint. That could result in
failure to show an FK constraint at all, or showing it multiple times, or
claiming that it depended on a different constraint than the one it really
does. Fix by joining via pg_depend to ensure that we find only the correct
dependency.
Back-patch, but don't bump catversion because we can't force initdb in back
branches. The next minor-version release notes should explain that if you
need to fix this in an existing installation, you can drop the
information_schema schema then re-create it by sourcing
$SHAREDIR/information_schema.sql in each database (as a superuser of
course).
This patch restores the pre-9.1 behavior that pl/perl functions returning
VOID ignore the result value of their last Perl statement. 9.1.0
unintentionally threw an error if the last statement returned a reference,
as reported by Amit Khandekar.
Also, make sure it works to return a string value for a composite type,
so long as the string meets the type's input format. We already allowed
the equivalent behavior for arrays, so it seems inconsistent to not allow
it for composites.
In addition, ensure we throw errors for attempts to return arrays or hashes
when the function's declared result type is not an array or composite type,
respectively. Pre-9.1 versions rather uselessly returned strings like
ARRAY(0x221a9a0) or HASH(0x221aa90), while 9.1.0 threw an error for the
hash case and returned a garbage value for the array case.
Also, clean up assorted grotty coding in Perl array conversion, including
use of a session-lifespan memory context to accumulate the array value
(resulting in session-lifespan memory leak on error), failure to apply the
declared typmod if any, and failure to detect some cases of non-rectangular
multi-dimensional arrays.

Relation rowtypes and automatically-generated array types do not need to
have their own extension membership dependency entries. If we create such
then it becomes more difficult to remove items from an extension, and it's
also harder for an extension upgrade script to make sure it duplicates the
dependencies created by the extension's regular installation script.
I changed the code in such a way that this happened in commit
988cccc620, I think because of worries about
the shell-type-replacement case; but that cure was worse than the disease.
It would only matter if one extension created a shell type that was
replaced with an auto-generated type in another extension, which seems
pretty far-fetched. Better to make this work unsurprisingly in normal
cases.
Report and patch by Robert Haas, comment adjustments by me.
We have seen one too many reports of people trying to use 9.1 extension
files in the old-fashioned way of sourcing them in psql. Not only does
that usually not work (due to failure to substitute for MODULE_PATHNAME
and/or @extschema@), but if it did work they'd get a collection of loose
objects not an extension. To prevent this, insert an \echo ... \quit
line that prints a suitable error message into each extension script file,
and teach commands/extension.c to ignore lines starting with \echo.
That should not only prevent any adverse consequences of loading a script
file the wrong way, but make it crystal clear to users that they need to
do it differently now.
Tom Lane, following an idea of Andrew Dunstan's. Back-patch into 9.1
... there is not going to be much value in this if we wait till 9.2.
The documentation neglected to explain its behavior in a script file
(it only ends execution of the script, not psql as a whole), and failed
to mention the long form \quit either.
This was broken in commit 53dbc27c62, which
introduced unlogged tables. Fortunately, as debugging tools go, this one
is pretty cheap, which is probably why it took nine months for someone to
notice, but it's not intended to be enabled by default, so revert.

transform_null_equals is only supposed to affect "foo = NULL" expressions
given directly by the user, not the internal "foo = NULL" expression
generated from CASE-WHEN.
This fixes bug #6242, reported by Sergey. Backpatch to all supported
branches.
In oder to exit on SIGTERM when in non-walsender code,
such as do_pg_stop_backup(), we need to set the interrupt
variables that are used there, and not just the walsender
local ones.
A similar problem for pgstattuple() was fixed in April of 2010 by commit
33065ef8bc, but pgstatindex() seems to have
been overlooked.
Back-patch all the way, as with that commit, though not to 7.4 through
8.1, since those are now EOL.
CREATE EXTENSION needs to transiently set search_path, as well as
client_min_messages and log_min_messages. We were doing this by the
expedient of saving the current string value of each variable, doing a
SET LOCAL, and then doing another SET LOCAL with the previous value at
the end of the command. This is a bit expensive though, and it also fails
badly if there is anything funny about the existing search_path value,
as seen in a recent report from Roger Niederland. Fortunately, there's a
much better way, which is to piggyback on the GUC infrastructure previously
developed for functions with SET options. We just open a new GUC nesting
level, do our assignments with GUC_ACTION_SAVE, and then close the nesting
level when done. This automatically restores the prior settings without a
re-parsing pass, so (in principle anyway) there can't be an error. And
guc.c still takes care of cleanup in event of an error abort.
The CREATE EXTENSION code for this was modeled on some much older code in
ri_triggers.c, which I also changed to use the better method, even though
there wasn't really much risk of failure there. Also improve the comments
in guc.c to reflect this additional usage.
This oversight meant that on Windows, the pg_settings view would not
display source file or line number information for values coming from
postgresql.conf, unless the backend had received a SIGHUP since starting.
In passing, also make the error detection in read_nondefault_variables a
tad more thorough, and fix it to not lose precision on float GUCs (these
changes are already in HEAD as of my previous commit).
Thus, an object referenced in a default expression could be dropped while
the function remained present. This was unaccountably missed in the
original patch to add default parameters for functions. Reported by
Pavel Stehule.
If an indexable operator for a non-collatable indexed datatype has a
collatable right-hand input type, any OpExpr for it will be marked with a
nonzero inputcollid (since having one collatable input is sufficient to
make that happen). However, an index on a non-collatable column certainly
doesn't have any collation. This caused us to fail to match such operators
to their indexes, because indxpath.c required an exact match of index
collation and clause collation. It seems correct to allow a match when the
index is collation-less regardless of the clause's inputcollid: an operator
with both noncollatable and collatable inputs could perhaps depend on the
collation of the collatable input, but it could hardly expect the index for
the noncollatable input to have that same collation.
Per bug #6232 from Pierre Ducroquet. His example is specifically about
"hstore ? text" but the problem seems quite generic.
In commit c1d9579dd8, I changed things so
that the output of the Agg node that feeds the window functions would not
list any ungrouped Vars directly. Formerly, for example, the Agg tlist
might have included both "x" and "sum(x)", which is not really valid if
"x" isn't a grouping column. If we then had a window function ordering on
something like "sum(x) + 1", prepare_sort_from_pathkeys would find no exact
match for this in the Agg tlist, and would conclude that it must recompute
the expression. But it would break the expression down to just the Var
"x", which it would find in the tlist, and then rebuild the ORDER BY
expression using a reference to the subplan's "x" output. Now, after the
above-referenced changes, "x" isn't in the Agg tlist if it's not a grouping
column, so that prepare_sort_from_pathkeys fails with "could not find
pathkey item to sort", as reported by Bricklen Anderson.
The fix is to not break down Aggrefs into their component parts, but just
treat them as irreducible expressions to be sought in the subplan tlist.
This is definitely OK for the use with respect to window functions in
grouping_planner, since it just built the tlist being used on the same
basis. AFAICT it is safe for other uses too; most of the other call sites
couldn't encounter Aggrefs anyway.
pg_dump has historically understood -Z with no -F switch to mean that
it should emit a gzip-compressed version of its plain text output.
This got broken through a misunderstanding in the 9.1 patch that added
directory output format. Restore the former behavior.
Per complaint from Roger Niederland and diagnosis by Adrian Klaver.
This mode still exists for backwards compatibility, making
sslmode=require the same as sslmode=verify-ca when the file is present,
but not causing an error when it isn't.
Per bug 6189, reported by Srinivas Aji
We were mapping "Central America Standard Time" to "CST6CDT", which seems
entirely wrong, because according to the Olson timezone database noplace
in Central America observes daylight savings time on any regular basis ---
and certainly not according to the USA DST rules that are implied by
"CST6CDT". (Mexico is an exception, but they can be disregarded since
they have a separate timezone name in Windows.) So, map this zone name to
plain "CST6", which will provide a fixed UTC offset.
As written, this patch will also result in mapping "Central America
Daylight Time" to CST6. I considered hacking things so that would still
map to CST6CDT, but it seems it would confuse win32tzlist.pl to put those
two names in separate entries. Since there's little evidence that any
such zone name is used in the wild, much less that CST6CDT would be a good
match for it, I'm not too worried about what we do with it.
Per complaint from Pratik Chirania.
Per bug #6205, reported by Abel Abraham Camarillo Ojeda. This isn't a
particularly elegant fix, but I'm trying to minimize the chances of
causing yet another round of breakage.
Adjust regression tests to exercise this case.
The standardized errno code for "no such locale" failures is ENOENT, which
we were just reporting at face value, viz "No such file or directory".
Per gripe from Thom Brown, this might confuse users, so add an errdetail
message to clarify what it means. Also, report newlocale() failures as
ERRCODE_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE rather than using
errcode_for_file_access(), since newlocale()'s errno values aren't
necessarily tied directly to file access failures.
As observed by Heikki, we need not conflict on heap page locks during an
insert; heap page locks are only aggregated tuple locks, they don't imply
locking "gaps" as index page locks do. So we can avoid some unnecessary
conflicts, and also do the SSI check while not holding exclusive lock on
the target buffer.

This oversight led to a massive memory leak --- upwards of 10KB per tuple
--- during creation-time verification of an exclusion constraint based on a
GIST index. In most other scenarios it'd just be a leak of 10KB that would
be recovered at end of query, so not too significant; though perhaps the
leak would be noticeable in a situation where a GIST index was being used
in a nestloop inner indexscan. In any case, it's a real leak of long
standing, so patch all supported branches. Per report from Harald Fuchs.
