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.

predictable manner; in particular that if you say ORDER BY output-column-ref,
it will in fact sort by that specific column even if there are multiple
syntactic matches. An example is
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

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.

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

worker processes exiting and dropping gmon.out files, allowing them to make

anyone will care about those profiles anyway. Limit the damage by forcing all
autovac workers to dump in one subdirectory, PGDATA/gprof/avworker/.

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

This doubles the planning workload for mergejoins while not actually

if either of the input relations can legally be joined to any other rels using
join clauses. This avoids uselessly (and expensively) considering a lot of
really stupid join paths when there is a join restriction with a large
footprint, that is, lots of relations inside its LHS or RHS. My patch of
15-Feb-2007 had been causing the code to consider joining *every* combination
of rels inside such a group, which is exponentially bad :-(. With this
behavior, clauseless bushy joins will be done if necessary, but they'll be
put off as long as possible. Per report from Jakub Ouhrabka.
Backpatch to 8.2. We might someday want to backpatch to 8.1 as well, but 8.1

neglected to test whether an outer join's join-condition actually refers to
the lower outer join it is looking at. (The comment correctly described what
was supposed to happen, but the code didn't do it...) This often resulted in
adding an unnecessary constraint on the join order of the two outer joins,
which was bad enough. However, it also seems to expose a performance
problem in an older patch (from 15-Feb): once we've decided that there is a
join ordering constraint, we will start trying clauseless joins between every
combination of rels within the constraint, which pointlessly eats up lots of
time and space if there are numerous rels below the outer join. That probably
needs to be revisited :-(. Per gripe from Jakub Ouhrabka.

then-delete on the current cursor row. The basic fix is that nodeTidscan.c
has to apply heap_get_latest_tid() to the current-scan-TID obtained from the
cursor query; this ensures we get the latest row version to work with.
However, since that only works if the query plan is a TID scan, we also have
to hack the planner to make sure only that type of plan will be selected.
(Formerly, the planner might decide to apply a seqscan if the table is very
small. This change is probably a Good Thing anyway, since it's hard to see
how a seqscan could really win.) That means the execQual.c code to support
CurrentOfExpr as a regular expression type is dead code, so replace it with
just an elog(). Also, add regression tests covering these cases. Note
that the added tests expose the fact that re-fetching an updated row
misbehaves if the cursor used FOR UPDATE. That's an independent bug that
should be fixed later. Per report from Dharmendra Goyal.

least it works...), but it seems that will take query infrastructure that
doesn't exist today. (Hm, I wonder if there's anything in or near SQL2003

categories, as per discussion. asciiword (formerly lword) is still
ASCII-letters-only, and numword (formerly word) is still the most general
mixed-alpha-and-digits case. But word (formerly nlword) is now
any-group-of-letters-with-at-least-one-non-ASCII, rather than all-non-ASCII as
before. This is no worse than before for parsing mixed Russian/English text,
which seems to have been the design center for the original coding; and it
should simplify matters for parsing most European languages. In particular
it will not be necessary for any language to accept strings containing digits
as being regular "words". The hyphenated-word categories are adjusted
similarly.

This removes the direct dependency on shell32.dll and user32.dll, which
eats a lot of "desktop heap" for each backend that's started. The
desktop heap is a very limited resource, causing backends to no
longer start once it's been exhausted.
We still have indirect depdendencies on user32.dll through third party
libraries, but those can't easily be removed.

miscomputation of required palloc size. The crash could only occur if the
input contained lexemes both with and without positions, which is probably not
common in practice. The miscomputation would definitely result in wasted
space. Also fix some inconsistent coding around alignment of strings and

mixed with/without position data and a machine that's picky about alignment.

renumbering of encoding IDs done between 8.2 and 8.3 turns out to break 8.2
initdb and psql if they are run with an 8.3beta1 libpq.so. For the moment
we can rearrange the order of enum pg_enc to keep the same number for
everything except PG_JOHAB, which isn't a problem since there are no direct
references to it in the 8.2 programs anyway. (This does force initdb
unfortunately.)
Going forward, we want to fix things so that encoding IDs can be changed
without an ABI break, and this commit includes the changes needed to allow
libpq's encoding IDs to be treated as fully independent of the backend's.
The main issue is that libpq clients should not include pg_wchar.h or
otherwise assume they know the specific values of libpq's encoding IDs,
since they might encounter version skew between pg_wchar.h and the libpq.so
they are using. To fix, have libpq officially export functions needed for
encoding name<=>ID conversion and validity checking; it was doing this
anyway unofficially.
It's still the case that we can't renumber backend encoding IDs until the
next bump in libpq's major version number, since doing so will break the
8.2-era client programs. However the code is now prepared to avoid this
type of problem in future.
Note that initdb is no longer a libpq client: we just pull in the two
source files we need directly. The patch also fixes a few places that
were being sloppy about checking for an unrecognized encoding name.
it affects. The original coding neglected tablespace entirely (causing
the indexes to move to the database's default tablespace) and for an index
belonging to a UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY constraint, it would actually try to
assign the parent table's reloptions to the index :-(. Per bug #3672 and
subsequent investigation.
8.0 and 8.1 did not have reloptions, but the tablespace bug is present.
used to perform MIN(foo) or MAX(foo), since we want to discard null rows in
the indexscan anyway. (This would probably fall out for free if we were

Fortunately, very little added code is needed.) Per a discussion with

XLogWrite is executed when we have a very stale local copy of RedoRecPtr.
The potential for useless checkpoint is very much worse in 8.3 because of
the walwriter process (which never does XLogInsert), so while this behavior
was intentional, it needs to be changed. Per report from Itagaki Takahiro.
on pg_global even to superusers, and replace it with checks in various
other places to complain about invalid uses of pg_global. This ends
up being a bit more code but it allows a more specific error message
to be given, and it un-breaks pg_tablespace_size() on pg_global.

Otherwise, if an immutable function were to return a TOAST pointer (an

a relation as a reason to invalidate a plan when the relation changes. This
handles scenarios such as dropping/recreating a sequence that is referenced by
nextval('seq') in a cached plan. Rather than teach plancache.c all about
digging through plan trees to find regclass Consts, we charge the planner's
setrefs.c with making a list of the relation OIDs on which each plan depends.
That way the list can be built cheaply during a plan tree traversal that has
to happen anyway. Per bug #3662 and subsequent discussion.

eval_const_expressions simplifies this to just "WHERE false", but we have
already done pull_up_IN_clauses so the IN join will be done, or at least
planned, anyway. The trouble case comes when the sub-SELECT is itself a join
and we decide to implement the IN by unique-ifying the sub-SELECT outputs:
with no remaining reference to the output Vars in WHERE, we won't have
propagated the Vars up to the upper join point, leading to "variable not found
in subplan target lists" error. Fix by adding an extra scan of in_info_list
and forcing all Vars mentioned therein to be propagated up to the IN join
point. Per bug report from Miroslav Sulc.
compiler --- at least on ARM, it does. I suspect that the varvarlena patch
has been creating larger-than-intended toast pointers all along on ARM,
but it wasn't exposed until the latest tweak added some Asserts that
calculated the expected size in a different way. We could probably have
fixed this by adding __attribute__((packed)) as is done for ItemPointerData,
but struct varattrib_pointer isn't really all that useful anyway, so it
seems cleanest to just get rid of it and have only struct varattrib_1b_e.

explicitly. This means a TOAST pointer takes 18 bytes instead of 17 --- still
smaller than in 8.2 --- which seems a good tradeoff to ensure we won't have
painted ourselves into a corner if we want to support multiple types of TOAST
