non-writable large objects need to have their snapshots registered on the
transaction resowner, not the current portal's, because it must persist until
the large object is closed (which the portal does not). Also, ensure that the
serializable snapshot is recorded by the transaction resource owner too, even
when a subtransaction has changed the current resource owner before
serializable is taken.
Per bug reports from Pavan Deolasee.
the visibility map patch that because autovacuum always sets
VacuumStmt->freeze_min_age, visibility map was never used for autovacuum,
only for manually launched vacuums. This patch introduces a new scan_all
field to VacuumStmt, indicating explicitly whether the visibility map
should be used, or the whole relation should be scanned, to advance
relfrozenxid. Anti-wraparound vacuums still need to scan all pages.
it's connection. This is required for applications that unload
the libpq library (such as PHP) in which case we'd otherwise
have pointers to these functions when they no longer exist.
This needs a bit more testing before we can consider a backpatch,
so not doing that yet.
In passing, remove unused functions in backend/libpq.

by Russell Smith.
heap page, where a set bit indicates that all tuples on the page are
visible to all transactions, and the page therefore doesn't need
vacuuming. It is stored in a new relation fork.
Lazy vacuum uses the visibility map to skip pages that don't need
vacuuming. Vacuum is also responsible for setting the bits in the map.
In the future, this can hopefully be used to implement index-only-scans,
but we can't currently guarantee that the visibility map is always 100%
up-to-date.
In addition to the visibility map, there's a new PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag on
each heap page, also indicating that all tuples on the page are visible to
all transactions. It's important that this flag is kept up-to-date. It
is also used to skip visibility tests in sequential scans, which gives a
small performance gain on seqscans.
the * character at the beginning of a pattern, and it does not match
subdomains.
Since this means we no longer need fnmatch, remove the imported implementation
from port, along with the autoconf check for it.
outer join clauses. Given, say,
... from a left join b on a.a1 = b.b1 where a.a1 = 42;
we'll deduce a clause b.b1 = 42 and then mark the original join clause
redundant (we can't remove it completely for reasons I don't feel like
squeezing into this log entry). However the original implementation of
that wasn't bulletproof, because clause_selectivity() wouldn't honor
this_selec if given nonzero varRelid --- which in practice meant that
it worked as desired *except* when considering index scan quals. Which
resulted in bogus underestimation of the size of the indexscan result for
an inner indexscan in an outer join, and consequently a possibly bad
choice of indexscan vs. bitmap scan. Fix by introducing an explicit test
into clause_selectivity(). Also, to make sure we don't trigger that test
in corner cases, change the convention to be that this_selec > 1, not
this_selec = 1, means it's been marked redundant. Per trouble report from
Scara Maccai.
Back-patch to 8.2, where the problem was introduced.
is treated like a non-digit separator. This fixes the inconsistency in
examples like:

and
to_timestamp('2008-1-02', 'YYYY-MM-DD') -- did work
toasted values, since those could get dropped once the cursor's transaction
is over. Per bug #4553 from Andrew Gierth.
Back-patch as far as 8.1. The bug actually exists back to 7.4 when holdable
cursors were introduced, but this patch won't work before 8.1 without
significant adjustments. Given the lack of field complaints, it doesn't seem
worth the work (and risk of introducing new bugs) to try to make a patch for
the older branches.
that a Portal is a useful and sufficient additional argument for
CreateDestReceiver --- it just isn't, in most cases. Instead formalize
the approach of passing any needed parameters to the receiver separately.
One unexpected benefit of this change is that we can declare typedef Portal
in a less surprising location.
This patch is just code rearrangement and doesn't change any functionality.
I'll tackle the HOLD-cursor-vs-toast problem in a follow-on patch.
the basic representational details (typlen, typalign, typbyval, typstorage)
to be copied from an existing type rather than listed explicitly in the
CREATE TYPE command. The immediate reason for this is to provide a simple
solution for add-on modules that want to define types represented as int8,
float4, or float8: as of 8.4 the appropriate PASSEDBYVALUE setting is
platform-specific and so it's hard for a SQL script to know what to do.
This patch fixes the contrib/isn breakage reported by Rushabh Lathia.
This was a thinko introduced in a patch from last February; it results
in memory leakage if an SRF is shut down before the actual end of query,
because subsequent code will be running in a longer-lived context than
it's expecting to be.
RHS that can't be unique-ified --- join_is_legal has to check that before
deciding to build a join, else we'll have an unimplementable joinrel.

a mismatching installation. Pick a default port number calculated from the
version number, and try a few times with other numbers if that one doesn't
work. Check if we can connect to the port before starting our own postmaster,
to detect some other server already running there. To simplify the code,
drop --temp-port option and use --port for both temp-install and pre-installed
case.
DestReceiver created during postquel_start needs to be destroyed during
postquel_end. In a moment of brain fade I had assumed this would be taken
care of by FreeQueryDesc, but it's not (and shouldn't be).

along the way to filling the buffer. The previous coding would just silently
discard portions of the intended buffer contents, as exhibited in trouble

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

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.

This speeds up the installation on common platforms, and it avoids some
funny business with the man page tools and build process.

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.
