throughout a query even if someone commits changes to the relation's
pg_class.reltriggers field meanwhile. Per crash report from Laurette Cisneros.
While at it, simplify memory management in relcache.c, which no longer
needs the old hack to try to keep trigger info in the same place over
a relcache entry rebuild. (Should try to fix rd_att and rewrite-rule
access similarly, someday.) And make RelationBuildTriggers simpler and
more robust by making it build the trigdesc in working memory and then
CopyTriggerDesc() into cache memory.

Perhaps it would be better to explicitly exclude just a few utility

just the significant fields of FunctionCallInfoData, rather than MemSet'ing
the whole struct to zero. Unused positions in the arg[] array will
thereby contain garbage rather than zeroes. This buys back some of the
performance hit from increasing FUNC_MAX_ARGS. Also tweak tuplesort.c
code for more speed by marking some routines 'inline'. All together
these changes speed up simple sorts, like count(distinct int4column),
by about 25% on a P4 running RH Linux 7.2.

composite types. Add a couple more lsyscache.c routines to support this,
and make use of them in some other places that were doing lookups the
hard way.
ruleutils display is not such a great idea. For arguments of functions
and operators I think we'd better keep the historical behavior of showing
such casts explicitly, to ensure that the function/operator is reparsed
the same way when the rule is reloaded. This also makes the output of
EXPLAIN less obscurantist about exactly what's happening.
to be flexible about assignment casts without introducing ambiguity in
operator/function resolution. Introduce a well-defined promotion hierarchy
for numeric datatypes (int2->int4->int8->numeric->float4->float8).
Change make_const to initially label numeric literals as int4, int8, or
numeric (never float8 anymore).
Explicitly mark Func and RelabelType nodes to indicate whether they came
from a function call, explicit cast, or implicit cast; use this to do
reverse-listing more accurately and without so many heuristics.
Explicit casts to char, varchar, bit, varbit will truncate or pad without
raising an error (the pre-7.2 behavior), while assigning to a column without
any explicit cast will still raise an error for wrong-length data like 7.3.
This more nearly follows the SQL spec than 7.2 behavior (we should be
reporting a 'completion condition' in the explicit-cast cases, but we have
no mechanism for that, so just do silent truncation).
Fix some problems with enforcement of typmod for array elements;
it didn't work at all in 'UPDATE ... SET array[n] = foo', for example.
Provide a generalized array_length_coerce() function to replace the
specialized per-array-type functions that used to be needed (and were
missing for NUMERIC as well as all the datetime types).
Add missing conversions int8<->float4, text<->numeric, oid<->int8.

Eliminate the mysterious games that the Cygwin build plays with the linker

Detect cygipc in configure, after the linker flags are set up, otherwise

Make sure everything is covered by make clean.
Fix the build of the new conversion procedure modules.
Add new DLLIMPORT markers where required.

creation to world, but disallow temp table creation in template1. Per

I did not force initdb, but the permissions lockdown on template1 will

a series of localtime() calls to determine the local timezone offset

should fix the rest of them.
I used StringInfo only in 2 places and both of them are inside debug
ifdefs. Only performance penalty will come from using strlen() like all
the other code does.
I also modified some of the already patched parts by changing

snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), ... where buf is an array.

per earlier discussion. Simplify scheme for overlaying fields in tuple
header (no need for cmax to live in more than one place). Don't try to
clear infomask status bits in tqual.c --- not safe to do it there. Don't
try to force output table of a SELECT INTO to have OIDs, either. Get rid
of unnecessarily complex three-state scheme for TupleDesc.tdhasoids, which
has already caused one recent failure. Improve documentation.
pointed out by Barry Lind: UPDATE bigintcol = 10000000000 fails because
the constant is initially taken as float8. We really need a better way,
but it's not gonna happen for 7.3.
Also, remove int4reltime() function, which is redundant with the
existing binary-compatibility coercion path from int4 to reltime,
and probably has been unreachable code for a long while.

pg_locks view to show transaction ID locks separately from ordinary
relation locks. Avoid showing N duplicate rows when the same lock is
held multiple times (seems unlikely that users care about exact hold

I am not sure that setting it false is actually a good idea yet; there
is a lot of client-side code that will probably be broken by turning
autocommit off. But it's a start.

I've attached a patch which should fix these problems.

connections by the superuser only.
This patch replaces the last patch I sent a couple of days ago.
It closes a connection that has not been authorised by a superuser if it would
leave less than the GUC variable ReservedBackends
(superuser_reserved_connections in postgres.conf) backend process slots free
in the SISeg. This differs to the first patch which only reserved the last
ReservedBackends slots in the procState array. This has made the free slot
test more expensive due to the use of a lock.
After thinking about a comment on the first patch I've also made it a fatal
error if the number of reserved slots is not less than the maximum number of
connections.

than sorry.
I was actually looking for cases where NAMEDATALEN is assumed to be

code cleanup.

the same way normal tuple access operations do --- viz, using the
tupmacs.h macros att_addlength and att_align. This makes the world

easier to write array-type-polymorphic functions; as examples see
the cleanups of array_out and contrib/array_iterator. By Joe Conway

it wouldn't work to try to create an array of cstring.

Good point -- that wouldn't cause incorrect results or a security
problem, but it would reject input that we should really accept.
Revised patch is attached.

This leaves like_escape_bytea() without anything to do, but I left it in
place in anticipation of the eventual bytea pattern selectivity

solution, I'll take it as a TODO for 7.4.

It's also a necessity for an informational schema. The catalog

The -n and -N options were removed. Quoting is now smart enough to
supply quotes if and only if necessary.
Numerical types are now printed without quotes, except in cases of
special values such as NaN.
Boolean values printed as true and false.
Most string literals now do not escape whitespace characters (newlines,
etc.) for portability.
SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION argument is a string literal, to follow SQL.
Made commands output by pg_dump use consistent spacing and indentation.
This patch is an updated version of the lock listing patch. I've made
the following changes:
- write documentation
- wrap the SRF in a view called 'pg_locks': all user-level
access should be done through this view
- re-diff against latest CVS
One thing I chose not to do is adapt the SRF to use the anonymous
composite type code from Joe Conway. I'll probably do that eventually,
but I'm not really convinced it's a significantly cleaner way to
bootstrap SRF builtins than the method this patch uses (of course, it
has other uses...)

sets of triggers. Also modify psql \d command to show foreign key
constraints as such and hide the triggers. pg_get_constraintdef()

review and some editorialization by Tom Lane.
