Foreign tables are a core component of SQL/MED. This commit does
not provide a working SQL/MED infrastructure, because foreign tables
cannot yet be queried. Support for foreign table scans will need to
be added in a future patch. However, this patch creates the necessary
system catalog structure, syntax support, and support for ancillary
operations such as COMMENT and SECURITY LABEL.

I've added a quote_all_identifiers GUC which affects the behavior
of the backend, and a --quote-all-identifiers argument to pg_dump
and pg_dumpall which sets the GUC and also affects the quoting done
internally by those applications.

filed by Hartmut Goebel.
a separate archive entry for each BLOB, and use pg_dump's standard methods
for dealing with its ownership, ACL if any, and comment if any. This means
that switches like --no-owner and --no-privileges do what they're supposed
to. Preliminary testing says that performance is still reasonable even
with many blobs, though we'll have to see how that shakes out in the field.

Create a new catalog pg_db_role_setting where they are now stored, and better
encapsulate the code that deals with settings into its realm. The old
datconfig and rolconfig columns are removed.
psql has gained a \drds command to display the settings.
Backwards compatibility warning: while the backwards-compatible system views
still have the config columns, they no longer completely represent the
configuration for a user or database.
Catalog version bumped.
the privileges that will be applied to subsequently-created objects.
Such adjustments are always per owning role, and can be restricted to objects
created in particular schemas too. A notable benefit is that users can
override the traditional default privilege settings, eg, the PUBLIC EXECUTE
privilege traditionally granted by default for functions.

The previous implementation got it right in most cases but failed in one:
if you pg_dump into an archive with standard_conforming_strings enabled, then
pg_restore to a script file (not directly to a database), the script will set
standard_conforming_strings = on but then emit large object data as
nonstandardly-escaped strings.
At the moment the code is made to emit hex-format bytea strings when dumping
to a script file. We might want to change to old-style escaping for backwards
compatibility, but that would be slower and bulkier. If we do, it's just a
matter of reimplementing appendByteaLiteral().
This has been broken for a long time, but given the lack of field complaints
I'm not going to worry about back-patching.
Changes:
Pass in the keyword lookup array instead of having it be hardwired.
(This incidentally allows elimination of some duplicate coding in ecpg.)
Re-order the token declarations in gram.y so that non-keyword tokens have
numbers that won't change when keywords are added or removed.
Add ".." and ":=" to the set of tokens recognized by scan.l. (Since these
combinations are nowhere legal in core SQL, this does not change anything
except the precise wording of the error you get when you write this.)
running pg_restore, which might run in parallel).
Only reopen archive file when we really need to read from it, in parallel code. Otherwise,
close it immediately in a worker, if possible.
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.

literally, whether quoted or not. Since we allow $ as a character within
identifiers, this behavior is useful, whereas the previous behavior of
treating it as the regexp ending anchor was nearly useless given that the
pattern is automatically anchored anyway. This affects the arguments of
psql's \d commands as well as pg_dump's -n and -t switches. Per discussion.
unreserved according to the grammar. The list of unreserved words has gotten
extensive enough that the unnecessary quoting is becoming a bit of an eyesore.
To do this, add knowledge of the keyword category to keywords.c's table.
(Someday we might be able to generate keywords.c's table and the keyword lists
in gram.y from a common source.) For the moment, lie about WITH's status in
the table so it will still get quoted --- this is because of the expectation
that WITH will become reserved when the SQL recursive-queries patch gets done.
I didn't force initdb because this affects nothing on-disk; but note that a
few regression tests have changed expected output.
database privileges from a pre-8.2 server. This ensures that the reloaded
database will maintain the same behavior it had in the previous installation,
ie, everybody has connect privilege. Per gripe from L Bayuk.
pg_dump as well as psql. Since psql already uses dumputils.c, while there's
not any code sharing in the other direction, this seems the easiest way.
Also, fix misinterpretation of patterns using regex | by adding parentheses
(same bug found previously in similar_escape()). This should be backpatched.
and there's only one place that's a kluge, ie, appendStringLiteralConn.
Note that pg_dump itself doesn't use appendStringLiteralConn, so its
behavior is not affected; only the other utility programs care.
and standard_conforming_strings; likewise for the other client programs
that need it. As per previous discussion, a pg_dump dump now conforms
to the standard_conforming_strings setting of the source database.
We don't use E'' syntax in the dump, thereby improving portability of
the SQL. I added a SET escape_strings_warning = off command to keep
the dumps from getting a lot of back-chatter from that.
'off'. This allows pg_dump output with standard_conforming_strings =
'on' to generate proper strings that can be loaded into other databases
without the backslash doubling we typically do. I have added the
dumping of the standard_conforming_strings value to pg_dump.
I also added standard backslash handling for plpgsql.
Continue to support GRANT ON [TABLE] for sequences for backward
compatibility; issue warning for invalid sequence permissions.
[Backward compatibility warning message.]
Add USAGE permission for sequences that allows only currval() and
nextval(), not setval().
Mention object name in grant/revoke warnings because of possible
multi-object operations.
than owned by nobody. This results in cleaner display of language ACLs,
since the backend's aclchk.c uses the same convention. AFAICS there is
no practical difference but it's nice to avoid emitting SET SESSION
AUTHORIZATION; also this will make it easier to transition pg_dump to
some future version in which we may include an explicit ownership column
in pg_language. Per gripe from David Begley.
comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib
directory. Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names
in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).
Backpatch to 8.1.X.
a warning when a variable is used as a format string for printf()
and similar functions (if the variable is derived from untrusted
data, it could include unexpected formatting sequences). This
emits too many warnings to be enabled by default, but it does
flag a few dubious constructs in the Postgres tree. This patch
fixes up the obvious variants: functions that are passed a variable
format string but no additional arguments.
Most of these are harmless (e.g. the ruleutils stuff), but there
is at least one actual bug here: if you create a trigger named
"%sfoo", pg_dump will read uninitialized memory and fail to dump
the trigger correctly.
Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...
There are various things left to do: contrib dbsize and oid2name modules
need work, and so does the documentation. Also someone should think about
COMMENT ON TABLESPACE and maybe RENAME TABLESPACE. Also initlocation is
dead, it just doesn't know it yet.
