upcoming window-functions patch. First, tuplestore_trim is now an
exported function that must be explicitly invoked by callers at
appropriate times, rather than something that tuplestore tries to do
behind the scenes. Second, a read pointer that is marked as allowing
backward scan no longer prevents truncation. This means that a read pointer
marked as having BACKWARD but not REWIND capability can only safely read
backwards as far as the oldest other read pointer. (The expected use pattern
for this involves having another read pointer that serves as the truncation
fencepost.)
This doesn't do any remote or external things yet, but it gives modules
like plproxy and dblink a standardized and future-proof system for
managing their connection information.

explicit cast to show the intended array type, we forgot to teach ruleutils.c
to print out such constructs properly. Found by noting bogus output from
recent changes in polymorphism regression test.
materialize-mode set results. Since it now uses the ReturnSetInfo node
to hold internal state, we need to be sure to set up the node even when
the immediately called function doesn't return set (but does have a set-valued
argument). Per report from Anupama Aherrao.
skipped. We could update relpages anyway, but it seems better to only
update it together with reltuples, because we use the reltuples/relpages
ratio in the planner. Also don't update n_live_tuples in pgstat.
ANALYZE in VACUUM ANALYZE now needs to update pg_class, if the
VACUUM-phase didn't do so. Added some boolean-passing to let analyze_rel
know if it should update pg_class or not.
I also moved the relcache invalidation (to update rd_targblock) from
vac_update_relstats to where RelationTruncate is called, because
vac_update_relstats is not called for partial vacuums anymore. It's more
obvious to send the invalidation close to the truncation that requires it.
Per report by Ned T. Crigler.
includes a few new ones.
- Fixed compilation errors on OS X for probes that use typedefs
- Fixed a number of probes to pass ForkNumber per the relation forks
patch
- The new probes are those that were taken out from the previous
submitted patch and required simple fixes. Will submit the other probes
that may require more discussion in a separate patch.

the other major heapam.c functions. The only known consequence of this
omission is that UPDATE RETURNING failed to return the correct value for
"tableoid", as per report from KaiGai Kohei.
Back-patch to 8.2. Arguably it's wrong all the way back; but without
evidence of visible breakage before RETURNING was added, I'll desist from
patching the older branches.
to return NULL, instead of erroring out, if the target object is specified by
OID and we can't find that OID in the catalogs. Since these functions operate
internally on SnapshotNow rules, there is a race condition when using them
in user queries: the query's MVCC snapshot might "see" a catalog row that's
already committed dead, leading to a failure when the inquiry function is
applied. Returning NULL should generally provide more convenient behavior.
This issue has been complained of before, and in particular we are now seeing
it in the regression tests due to another recent patch.
to 10, to compensate for the recent change in default statistics target.
The original number was pulled out of the air anyway :-(, but it was picked
in the context of the old default, so holding the default size of the
MCELEM array constant seems the best thing. Per discussion.
pg_database_encoding_max_length() predicts the maximum character length
returned by wchar2char(). Per Hiroshi Inoue, MB_CUR_MAX isn't usable on
Windows because we allow encoding = UTF8 when the locale says differently;
and getting rid of it seems a good idea on general principles because it
narrows our dependence on libc's locale API just a little bit more.
Also install a check for overflow of the buffer size computation.

variables.

Magnus Hagander.
actual argument type of ANYARRAY to match an argument declared ANYARRAY,
so long as ANYELEMENT etc aren't used. I had overlooked the fact that this
is a possible case while fixing bug #3852; but it is possible because
pg_statistic contains columns declared ANYARRAY. Per gripe from Corey Horton.
when they are invoked by the parser. We had been setting up a snapshot at
plan time but really it needs to be done earlier, before parse analysis.
Per report from Dmitry Koterov.
Also fix two related problems discovered while poking at this one:
exec_bind_message called datatype input functions without establishing a
snapshot, and SET CONSTRAINTS IMMEDIATE could call trigger functions without
establishing a snapshot.
Backpatch to 8.2. The underlying problem goes much further back, but it is
masked in 8.1 and before because we didn't attempt to invoke domain check
constraints within datatype input. It would only be exposed if a C-language
datatype input function used the snapshot; which evidently none do, or we'd
have heard complaints sooner. Since this code has changed a lot over time,
a back-patch is hardly risk-free, and so I'm disinclined to patch further
than absolutely necessary.
vacuuming (it's not), say "database-wide VACUUM" instead of "full-database
VACUUM" in the relevant hint messages. Also, document the permissions needed
to do this. Per today's discussion.
right child if it doesn't need to. This saves some miniscule number
of cycles, but the ulterior motive is to avoid an optimization bug
known to exist in SCO's C compiler (and perhaps others?)
