53972b460c Add $PostgreSQL$ markers to a lot of files that were missing them.
This particular batch was just for *.c and *.h file.

The changes were made with the following 2 commands:

find . \( \( -name 'libstemmer' -o -name 'expected' -o -name 'ppport.h' \) -prune \) -o  \( -name '*.[ch]'  \) \( -exec grep -q '\$PostgreSQL' {} \; -o -print \) | while read file ; do head -n 1 < $file | grep -q '^/\*' && echo $file; done | xargs -l sed -i -e '1s/^\// /' -e '1i/*\n * $PostgreSQL:$ \n *'

find . \( \( -name 'libstemmer' -o -name 'expected' -o -name 'ppport.h' \) -prune \) -o  \( -name '*.[ch]'  \) \( -exec grep -q '\$PostgreSQL' {} \; -o -print \) | xargs -l sed -i -e '1i/*\n * $PostgreSQL:$ \n */'

64d0b8b05f Attached is an update to contrib/tablefunc. It implements a new hashed
version of crosstab. This fixes a major deficiency in real-world use of
the original version. Easiest to undestand with an illustration:

Data:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
select * from cth;
  id | rowid |        rowdt        |   attribute    |      val
----+-------+---------------------+----------------+---------------
   1 | test1 | 2003-03-01 00:00:00 | temperature    | 42
   2 | test1 | 2003-03-01 00:00:00 | test_result    | PASS
   3 | test1 | 2003-03-01 00:00:00 | volts          | 2.6987
   4 | test2 | 2003-03-02 00:00:00 | temperature    | 53
   5 | test2 | 2003-03-02 00:00:00 | test_result    | FAIL
   6 | test2 | 2003-03-02 00:00:00 | test_startdate | 01 March 2003
   7 | test2 | 2003-03-02 00:00:00 | volts          | 3.1234
(7 rows)

Original crosstab:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT * FROM crosstab(
   'SELECT rowid, attribute, val FROM cth ORDER BY 1,2',4)
AS c(rowid text, temperature text, test_result text, test_startdate
text, volts text);
  rowid | temperature | test_result | test_startdate | volts
-------+-------------+-------------+----------------+--------
  test1 | 42          | PASS        | 2.6987         |
  test2 | 53          | FAIL        | 01 March 2003  | 3.1234
(2 rows)

Hashed crosstab:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT * FROM crosstab(
   'SELECT rowid, attribute, val FROM cth ORDER BY 1',
   'SELECT DISTINCT attribute FROM cth ORDER BY 1')
AS c(rowid text, temperature int4, test_result text, test_startdate
timestamp, volts float8);
  rowid | temperature | test_result |   test_startdate    | volts
-------+-------------+-------------+---------------------+--------
  test1 |          42 | PASS        |                     | 2.6987
  test2 |          53 | FAIL        | 2003-03-01 00:00:00 | 3.1234
(2 rows)

Notice that the original crosstab slides data over to the left in the
result tuple when it encounters missing data. In order to work around
this you have to be make your source sql do all sorts of contortions
(cartesian join of distinct rowid with distinct attribute; left join
that back to the real source data). The new version avoids this by
building a hash table using a second distinct attribute query.

The new version also allows for "extra" columns (see the README) and
allows the result columns to be coerced into differing datatypes if they
are suitable (as shown above).

In testing a "real-world" data set (69 distinct rowid's, 27 distinct
categories/attributes, multiple missing data points) I saw about a
5-fold improvement in execution time (from about 2200 ms old, to 440 ms
new).

I left the original version intact because: 1) BC, 2) it is probably
slightly faster if you know that you have no missing attributes.

README and regression test adjustments included. If there are no
objections, please apply.

6aa4482f2f Attached is an update to contrib/tablefunc. It introduces a new
function, connectby(), which can serve as a reference implementation for

the changes made in the last few days -- namely the ability of a
function to return an entire tuplestore, and the ability of a function
to make use of the query provided "expected" tuple description.

Description:

   connectby(text relname, text keyid_fld, text parent_keyid_fld,
     text start_with, int max_depth [, text branch_delim])
   - returns keyid, parent_keyid, level, and an optional branch string
   - requires anonymous composite type syntax in the FROM clause. See
     the instructions in the documentation below.

45e2544584 As discussed on several occasions previously, the new anonymous
composite type capability makes it possible to create a system view
based on a table function in a way that is hopefully palatable to
everyone. The attached patch takes advantage of this, moving
show_all_settings() from contrib/tablefunc into the backend (renamed
all_settings(). It is defined as a builtin returning type RECORD. During
initdb a system view is created to expose the same information presently
available through SHOW ALL. For example:

test=# select * from pg_settings where name like '%debug%';
          name          | setting
-----------------------+---------
  debug_assertions      | on
  debug_pretty_print    | off
  debug_print_parse     | off
  debug_print_plan      | off
  debug_print_query     | off
  debug_print_rewritten | off
  wal_debug             | 0
(7 rows)


Additionally during initdb two rules are created which make it possible
to change settings by updating the system view -- a "virtual table" as
Tom put it. Here's an example:

41f862ba87 As mentioned above, here is my contrib/tablefunc patch. It includes
three functions which exercise the tablefunc API.

show_all_settings()
   - returns the same information as SHOW ALL, but as a query result

normal_rand(int numvals, float8 mean, float8 stddev, int seed)
   - returns a set of normally distributed float8 values
   - This routine implements Algorithm P (Polar method for normal
     deviates) from Knuth's _The_Art_of_Computer_Programming_, Volume 2,
     3rd ed., pages 122-126. Knuth cites his source as "The polar
     method", G. E. P. Box, M. E. Muller, and G. Marsaglia,
     _Annals_Math,_Stat._ 29 (1958), 610-611.

crosstabN(text sql)
   - returns a set of row_name plus N category value columns
   - crosstab2(), crosstab3(), and crosstab4() are defined for you,
     but you can create additional crosstab functions per directions
     in the README.
