results (ie, an empty "broken" buffer) if memory overrun occurs anywhere
along the way to filling the buffer. The previous coding would just silently
discard portions of the intended buffer contents, as exhibited in trouble
report from Sam Mason. Also, tweak psql's main loop to correctly detect
and report such overruns. There's probably much more that should be done
in this line, but this is a start.
by hand. As an added bonus, the new code is smaller and more understandable,
and the ugly loops are gone.
This had been discussed all along but never implemented. It became clear that
it really needed to be fixed after a bug report by Pavan Deolasee.
libpq. As noted by Peter, adding this variable created a risk of unexpected
connection failures when talking to older server versions, and since it
doesn't do anything you can't do with PGOPTIONS, it doesn't seem really
necessary. Removing it does occasion a few extra lines in pg_regress.c,
but saving a getenv() call per libpq connection attempt is perhaps worth
that anyway.
The information on why the shared libraries are built the way they are

the bgwriter immediately. This covers the case where the bgwriter is still
starting up, as seen in a recent buildfarm failure. In future it might also
assist with clean recovery after a bgwriter termination and restart ---
right now the postmaster treats early bgwriter exit as a system crash,
but that might not always be so.
though it is an inner rather than outer join type. This essentially means
that we don't bother to separate "pushed down" qual conditions from actual
join quals at a semijoin plan node; which is okay because the restrictions of
SQL syntax make it impossible to have a pushed-down qual that references the
inner side of a semijoin. This allows noticeably better optimization of
IN/EXISTS cases than we had before, since the equivalence-class machinery can
now use those quals. Also fix a couple of other mistakes that had essentially
disabled the ability to unique-ify the inner relation and then join it to just
a subset of the left-hand relations. An example case using the regression
database is
select * from tenk1 a, tenk1 b
where (a.unique1,b.unique2) in (select unique1,unique2 from tenk1 c);
which is planned reasonably well by 8.3 and earlier but had been forcing a
cartesian join of a/b in CVS HEAD.
as LIKE. I oversimplified this code when removing support for plan-time
determination of index operator lossiness back in April --- I had thought
create_bitmap_subplan could stop returning two separate lists of qual
conditions, but it still must so that we can treat special operators
correctly in create_bitmap_scan_plan. Per report from Rushabh Lathia.
truncations in FSM code, call FreeSpaceMapTruncateRel from smgr_redo. To
make that cleaner from modularity point of view, move the WAL-logging one
level up to RelationTruncate, and move RelationTruncate and all the
related WAL-logging to new src/backend/catalog/storage.c file. Introduce
new RelationCreateStorage and RelationDropStorage functions that are used
instead of calling smgrcreate/smgrscheduleunlink directly. Move the
pending rel deletion stuff from smgrcreate/smgrscheduleunlink to the new
functions. This leaves smgr.c as a thin wrapper around md.c; all the
transactional stuff is now in storage.c.
This will make it easier to add new forks with similar truncation logic,
like the visibility map.
Sort the output by command name. This previously only worked by source
file name, which doesn't always match the command name exactly. And it
certainly won't work for multiple refnames.
* Refactor explain.c slightly to export a convenient-to-use subroutine
for printing EXPLAIN results.
* Provide hooks for plugins to get control at ExecutorStart and ExecutorEnd
as well as ExecutorRun.
* Add some minimal support for tracking the total runtime of ExecutorRun.
This code won't actually do anything unless a plugin prods it to.
* Change the API of the DefineCustomXXXVariable functions to allow nonzero
"flags" to be specified for a custom GUC variable. While at it, also make
the "bootstrap" default value for custom GUCs be explicitly specified as a
parameter to these functions. This is to eliminate confusion over where the
default comes from, as has been expressed in the past by some users of the
custom-variable facility.
* Refactor GUC code a bit to ensure that a custom variable gets initialized to
something valid (like its default value) even if the placeholder value was
invalid.
locate the target row, if the cursor was declared with FOR UPDATE or FOR
SHARE. This approach is more flexible and reliable than digging through the
plan tree; for instance it can cope with join cursors. But we still provide
the old code for use with non-FOR-UPDATE cursors. Per gripe from Robert Haas.
return the tableoid as well as the ctid for any FOR UPDATE targets that
have child tables. All child tables are listed in the ExecRowMark list,
but the executor just skips the ones that didn't produce the current row.
Curiously, this longstanding restriction doesn't seem to have been documented
anywhere; so no doc changes.
if the user is superuser. This makes available to extension modules the same
sort of trick being practiced by array_agg(). The reason for the superuser
restriction is that you could crash the system by connecting up an
incompatible pair of internal-using functions as an aggregate. It shouldn't
interfere with any legitimate use, since you'd have to be superuser to create
the internal-using transition and final functions anyway.

I forgot about this one.
another section if required by the platform (instead of the old way of
building them in section "l" and always transforming them to the
platform-specific section).
This speeds up the installation on common platforms, and it avoids some
funny business with the man page tools and build process.

heap_addheader, remove it.

anyelement. This lacks the WITH ORDINALITY option, as well as the multiple
input arrays option added in the most recent SQL specs. But it's still a
pretty useful subset of the spec's functionality, and it is enough to
allow obsoleting contrib/intagg.
and thereby in the pg_timezone_names view. Although we allow such zones
to be used in certain limited contexts like AT TIME ZONE, we don't allow
them in SET TIME ZONE, and bug #4528 shows that they're more likely to
confuse users than do anything useful. So hide 'em. (Note that we don't
even generate these zones when installing our own timezone database.
But they are likely to be present when using a system-provided database.)
for inserting tuples in increasing TID order. It's not clear whether this
fully explains Ivan Sergio Borgonovo's complaint, but simple testing
confirms that a scan that doesn't start at block 0 can slow GIN build by
a factor of three or four.
Backpatch to 8.3. Sync scan didn't exist before that.

operator. The result depends only on the two input operators and the proof
direction (imply or refute), so it's easy to cache. This provides a very
large savings in cases such as Sergey Konoplev's long NOT-IN-list example,
where predtest spends all its time repeatedly figuring out that the same pair
of operators cannot be used to prove anything. (But of course the O(N^2)
behavior still catches up with you eventually.) I'm not convinced it buys
a whole lot when constraint_exclusion isn't turned on, but it's not a lot
of added code so we might as well cache all the time.
AND, OR, or equivalent clauses: if there are too many (more than 100) just
exit without proving anything. This ensures that we don't spend O(N^2) time
trying (and most likely failing) to prove anything about very long IN lists
and similar cases.
Also, install a couple of CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS calls to ensure that a long
proof attempt can be interrupted.
Per gripe from Sergey Konoplev.
Back-patch the whole patch to 8.2 and just the CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS addition
to 8.1. (The rest of the patch doesn't apply cleanly, and since 8.1 doesn't
show the complained-of behavior anyway, it doesn't seem necessary to work
hard on it.)

This version still has the suspicious behavior of returning null for an
empty array (rather than zero), but this may need a wholesale revision of
empty array behavior, currently under discussion.

in "postgres_verbose" intervalstyle, and the equally arbitrary decision to
show at least two fractional-seconds digits in most other datetime display
styles. This results in some minor changes in the expected regression test
outputs.
Also, coalesce a lot of repetitive code in datetime.c into subroutines,
for clarity and ease of maintenance. In particular this roughly halves
the number of #ifdef HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP segments.

translated_vars list get updated when pulling up an appendrel member. It's
not clear that this really matters at present, since relatively little gets
done with the outputs of an appendrel child relation; but it probably will
come back to bite us sometime if we leave them with the wrong values.
we extended the appendrel mechanism to support UNION ALL optimization. The
reason nobody noticed was that we are not actually using attr_needed data for
appendrel children; hence it seems more reasonable to rip it out than fix it.
Back-patch to 8.2 because an Assert failure is possible in corner cases.
Per examination of an example from Jim Nasby.
In HEAD, also get rid of AppendRelInfo.col_mappings, which is quite inadequate
to represent UNION ALL situations; depend entirely on translated_vars instead.

Not a really realistic use-case, but the patch also cuts down on

per Alvaro's suggestion. I didn't change the messages in the higher-level

In passing, also get rid of the unused pg_class columns relukeys, relfkeys,

chance of ever being maintained (because of wishing to avoid locking).

from DateStyle, and create a new interval style that produces output matching
the SQL standard (at least for interval values that fall within the standard's
restrictions). IntervalStyle is also used to resolve the conflict between the
standard and traditional Postgres rules for interpreting negative interval
input.
