If expand_dbname is non-zero and dbname contains an = sign, it is taken as
a conninfo string in exactly the same way as if it had been passed to
PQconnectdb. This is equivalent to the way PQsetdbLogin() works, allowing
PQconnectdbParams() to be a complete alternative.
Also improve the way the new function is called from psql and replace a
previously missed call to PQsetdbLogin() in psql. Additionally use
PQconnectdbParams() for pg_dump and friends, and the bin/scripts
command line utilities such as vacuumdb, createdb, etc.
Finally, update the documentation for the new parameter, as well as the
nuances of precedence in cases where key words are repeated or duplicated
in the conninfo string.
the input values into a string. The two argument version also does the same
thing, but inserts delimiters between elements.

false positives during Hot Standby conflict processing. Simple
patch to enhance conflict processing, following previous discussions.
Controlled by parameter minimize_standby_conflicts = on | off, with
default off allows measurement of performance impact to see whether
it should be set on all the time.
In addition to everything built installed and tested by all, install and installcheck targets, these build HTML Docs,
build and test contrib, and test PLs and ECPG.
PQconnectStartParams. These are analogous to PQconnectdb and PQconnectStart
respectively. They differ from the legacy functions in that they accept
two NULL-terminated arrays, keywords and values, rather than conninfo
strings. This avoids the need to build the conninfo string in cases
where it might be inconvenient to do so. Includes documentation.
Also modify psql to utilize PQconnectdbParams rather than PQsetdbLogin.
This allows the new config parameter application_name to be set, which
in turn is displayed in the pg_stat_activity view and included in CSV
log entries. This will also ensure both new functions get regularly
exercised.

Joe Conway.
- Allow (ineffective) use of 'require' in plperl
If the required module is not already loaded then it dies.
So "use strict;" now works in plperl.
- Pre-load the feature module if perl >= 5.10.
So "use feature :5.10;" now works in plperl.
- Stored procedure subs are now given names.
The names are not visible in ordinary use, but they make
tools like Devel::NYTProf and Devel::Cover much more useful.
- Simplified and generalized the subroutine creation code.
Now one code path for generating sub source code, not four.
Can generate multiple 'use' statements with specific imports
(which handles plperl.use_strict currently and can easily
be extended to handle a plperl.use_feature=':5.12' in future).
- Disallows use of Safe version 2.20 which is broken for PL/Perl.

- Assorted minor optimizations by pre-growing data structures.

default of "plpgsql". This is more reasonable than it was when the DO patch
was written, because we have since decided that plpgsql should be installed
by default. Per discussion, having a parameter for this doesn't seem useful
enough to justify the risk of application breakage if the value is changed
unexpectedly.
and implement OVERLAY() for bit strings and bytea.
In passing also convert text OVERLAY() to a true built-in, instead of
relying on a SQL function.

woken by alarm we send SIGUSR1 to all backends requesting that they
check to see if they are blocking Startup process. If so, they throw
ERROR/FATAL as for other conflict resolutions. Deadlock stop gap
removed. max_standby_delay = -1 option removed to prevent deadlock.
Attributes can now have options, just as relations and tablespaces do, and
the reloptions code is used to parse, validate, and store them. For
simplicity and because these options are not performance critical, we store
them in a separate cache rather than the main relcache.
Thanks to Alex Hunsaker for the review.
PQescapeLiteral is similar to PQescapeStringConn, but it relieves the
caller of the need to know how large the output buffer should be, and
it provides the appropriate quoting (in addition to escaping special
characers within the string). PQescapeIdentifier provides similar
functionality for escaping identifiers.
Per recent discussion with Tom Lane.
quote_literal, quote_nullable, quote_ident,
encode_bytea, decode_bytea, looks_like_number,
encode_array_literal, encode_array_constructor.
Split SPI.xs into two - SPI.xs now contains only SPI functions. Remainder
are in new Util.xs.
Some more code and documentation cleanup along the way, as well as
adding some CVS markers to files missing them.
Original patch from Tim Bunce, with a little editing from me.
Modify the "Escaping Strings for Inclusion in SQL Commands" section
to use a <variablelist> as the preceding and following sections do,
and merge the "Escaping Binary Strings for Inclusion in SQL Commands"
section into it.
This changes only the formatting of these sections, not the content.
It is intended to lay the groundwork for a follow-on patch to add
some new escaping functions, but it makes sense to commit this first,
for clarity.
This is the last EXECUTE-like plpgsql statement that was missing
the capability of inserting parameter values via USING.
