referenced tables are dumped before the referencing tables. This avoids
failures when the data is loaded with the FK constraints already active.
If no such ordering is possible because of circular or self-referential
constraints, print a NOTICE to warn the user about it.
searching instead of naive matching. In the worst case this has the same
O(M*N) complexity as the naive method, but the worst case is hard to hit,
and the average case is very fast, especially with longer patterns.

for editing if no function name is specified. This seems a much cleaner way
to offer that functionality than the original patch had. In passing,
de-clutter the error displays that are given for a bogus function-name
argument, and standardize on "$function$" as the default delimiter for the
function body. (The original coding would use the shortest possible
dollar-quote delimiter, which seems to create unnecessarily high risk of
later conflicts with the user-modified function body.)
In support of that, create a backend function pg_get_functiondef().
The psql command is functional but maybe a bit rough around the edges...

inserting a materialize node above an inner-side sort node, when the sort is
expected to spill to disk. (The materialize protects the sort from having
to support mark/restore, allowing it to do its final merge pass on-the-fly.)
We neglected to teach cost_mergejoin about that hack, so it was failing to
include the materialize's costs in the estimated cost of the mergejoin.
The materialize's costs are generally going to be pretty negligible in
comparison to the sort's, so this is only a small error and probably not
worth back-patching; but it's still wrong.
In the similar case where a materialize is inserted to protect an inner-side
node that can't do mark/restore at all, it's still true that the materialize
should not spill to disk, and so we should cost it cheaply rather than
expensively.

and so wouldn't be reclaimed; this patch makes it use palloc instead,
so that flushing the current context will reclaim the memory. Per

the operations in the RECORD case to avoid possible palloc failure while the
variable update is only partly complete.
Back-patch as far as 8.1. Although the code of the particular function is
similar in 8.0, 8.0's support for composite fields in rows is sufficiently
broken elsewhere that it doesn't seem worth fixing this.

This could be back-patched but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.

introduced.

this works better than my original thought of trying to push the code into

clear to me why I'd not seen this message before --- on F-9 it seems to
only happen if Asserts are disabled, which ought to be irrelevant.
Maybe that affects a decision whether to inline get_ten(), which would
be needed to expose the warning condition to the compiler? Anyway,
the fix is clear.
most node types used in expression trees (both before and after parse
analysis). This allows us to place an error cursor in many situations
where we formerly could not, because the information wasn't available
beyond the very first level of parse analysis. There's a fair amount
of work still to be done to persuade individual ereport() calls to actually
include an error location, but this gets the initdb-forcing part of the
work out of the way; and the situation is already markedly better than
before for complaints about unimplementable implicit casts, such as
CASE and UNION constructs with incompatible alternative data types.

when its input is constant and the element coercion function is immutable

8.3 implementation of ArrayCoerceExpr, and its result is that certain cases
involving IN or NOT IN with constants don't get optimized as they should be.

but this is a start anyway.

This makes the entire current contents of nodeFuncs.c dead code. I'll be

Remove tuple's killing by killtuple() if tuple was moved to another

Backpatch up to 8.1 because the bug was introduced by GiST's concurrency support.

This is just a slow version of TRUNCATE HISTORY.

subqueries into the same thing you'd have gotten from IN (except always with
unknownEqFalse = true, so as to get the proper semantics for an EXISTS).
I believe this fixes the last case within CVS HEAD in which an EXISTS could
give worse performance than an equivalent IN subquery.
The tricky part of this is that if the upper query probes the EXISTS for only
a few rows, the hashing implementation can actually be worse than the default,
and therefore we need to make a cost-based decision about which way to use.
But at the time when the planner generates plans for subqueries, it doesn't
really know how many times the subquery will be executed. The least invasive
solution seems to be to generate both plans and postpone the choice until
execution. Therefore, in a query that has been optimized this way, EXPLAIN
will show two subplans for the EXISTS, of which only one will actually get
executed.
There is a lot more that could be done based on this infrastructure: in
particular it's interesting to consider switching to the hash plan if we start
out using the non-hashed plan but find a lot more upper rows going by than we
expected. I have therefore left some minor inefficiencies in place, such as
initializing both subplans even though we will currently only use one.
to be used for SubLinks that are underneath a top-level OR clause. Just as at
the very top level of WHERE, it's not necessary to be accurate about whether
the sublink returns FALSE or NULL, because either result has the same impact
on whether the WHERE will succeed.
Per Microsoft knowledge base article Q201213, early versions of
Windows fail when we do this. Later versions of Windows appear
to have a higher limit than 64Kb, but do still fail on large
sends, so we unconditionally limit it for all versions.
Patch from Tom Lane.
debug_print_plan to appear at LOG message level, not DEBUG1 as historically.
Make debug_pretty_print default to on. Also, cause plans generated via
EXPLAIN to be subject to debug_print_plan. This is all to make
debug_print_plan a reasonably comfortable substitute for the former behavior
of EXPLAIN VERBOSE.
eval_const_expressions will generally throw away anything that's ANDed with
constant FALSE, what we're left with given an example like
select * from tenk1 a where (unique1,0) in (select unique2,1 from tenk1 b);
is a cartesian product computation, which is really not acceptable.
This is a regression in CVS HEAD compared to previous releases, which were
able to notice the impossible join condition in this case --- though not in
some related cases that are also improved by this patch, such as
select * from tenk1 a left join tenk1 b on (a.unique1=b.unique2 and 0=1);
Fix by skipping evaluation of the appropriate side of the outer join in
cases where it's demonstrably unnecessary.

that could work during the first pass at this stuff. However, on closer
inspection it seems to be safe enough.
