trivial if it contains either Vars referencing the corresponding subplan
columns, or Consts equaling the corresponding subplan columns. This
lets the planner eliminate the SubqueryScan in some cases generated by
generate_setop_tlist().
Fix all the standard PLs to be able to return tuples from FOO_RETURNING
statements as well as utility statements that return tuples. Also,
fix oversight that SPI_processed wasn't set for a utility statement
returning tuples. Per recent discussion.
locks that would conflict with a specified lock request, without
actually trying to get that lock. Use this instead of the former ad hoc
method of doing the first wait step in CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.
Fixes problem with undetected deadlock and in many cases will allow the

on the same index page; we can avoid data copying as well as buffer refcount

improvement in mergejoin speed.

of the transaction ID counter. Nothing is done with the epoch except to
store it in checkpoint records, but this provides a foundation with which
add-on code can pretend that XIDs never wrap around. This is a severely
trimmed and rewritten version of the xxid patch submitted by Marko Kreen.
Per discussion, the epoch counter seems the only part of xxid that really
needs to be in the core server.
by abandoning the idea that it should say SERIAL in the dump. Instead,
dump serial sequences and column defaults just like regular ones.
Add a new backend command ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY to let pg_dump recreate
the sequence-to-column dependency that was formerly created "behind the
scenes" by SERIAL. This restores SERIAL to being truly "just a macro"
consisting of component operations that can be stated explicitly in SQL.
Furthermore, the new command allows sequence ownership to be reassigned,
so that old mistakes can be cleaned up.
Also, downgrade the OWNED-BY dependency from INTERNAL to AUTO, since there
is no longer any very compelling argument why the sequence couldn't be
dropped while keeping the column. (This forces initdb, to be sure the
right kinds of dependencies are in there.)
Along the way, add checks to prevent ALTER OWNER or SET SCHEMA on an
owned sequence; you can now only do this indirectly by changing the
owning table's owner or schema. This is an oversight in previous
releases, but probably not worth back-patching.
each object to be deleted, instead of the previous hack that just skipped
INTERNAL dependencies, which didn't really work. Per report from Tom Lane.
To do this, introduce a new performMultipleDeletions entry point in
dependency.c to delete multiple objects at once. The dependency code then has
the responsability of tracking INTERNAL and AUTO dependencies as needed.
Along the way, change ObjectAddresses so that we can allocate an ObjectAddress
list from outside dependency.c and not have to export the internal
representation.

of volatile functions that textually appear only once. This is a
slightly tighter version of Jaime Casanova's recent patch.

than N seconds apart. This allows a simple, if not very high performance,
means of guaranteeing that a PITR archive is no more than N seconds behind
real time. Also make pg_current_xlog_location return the WAL Write pointer,
add pg_current_xlog_insert_location to return the Insert pointer, and fix
pg_xlogfile_name_offset to return its results as a two-element record instead
of a smashed-together string, as per recent discussion.

mergejoin possibility where the inner rel was less well sorted than
the outer (ie, it matches some but not all of the merge clauses that
can work with the outer), if the inner path in question is also the
overall cheapest path for its rel. This is an old bug, but I'm not
sure it's worth back-patching, because it's such a corner case.
Noted while investigating a test case from Peter Hardman.
subquery's pathkey is a RelabelType applied to something that appears
in the subquery's output; for example where the subquery returns a
varchar Var and the sort order is shown as that Var coerced to text.
This comes up because varchar doesn't have its own sort operator.

internal TypInfo table in bootstrap mode. This allows array_in and
array_out to be used during early bootstrap, which eliminates the
former obstacle to giving OUT parameters to built-in functions.
such as debugging and performance measurement. This consists of two features:
a table of "rendezvous variables" that allows separately-loaded shared
libraries to communicate, and a new GUC setting "local_preload_libraries"
that allows libraries to be loaded into specific sessions without explicit
cooperation from the client application. To make local_preload_libraries
as flexible as possible, we do not restrict its use to superusers; instead,
it is restricted to load only libraries stored in $libdir/plugins/. The
existing LOAD command has also been modified to allow non-superusers to
LOAD libraries stored in this directory.
This patch also renames the existing GUC variable preload_libraries to
shared_preload_libraries (after a suggestion by Simon Riggs) and does some
code refactoring in dfmgr.c to improve clarity.

requiring read permissions. Up till now there was no possible case
in which the RTEs wouldn't already have ACL_SELECT set ... but now that
you can say something like 'INSERT INTO foo ... RETURNING *' this is
an essential step. With this commit, a RETURNING clause adds the
requirement for SELECT permissions on the target table if and only if
the clause actually reads the value of at least one target-table column.
cannot assume that there's exactly one Query in the Portal, as we can for
ONE_SELECT mode, because non-SELECT queries might have extra queries added
during rule rewrites. Fix things up so that we'll use ONE_RETURNING mode
when a Portal contains one primary (canSetTag) query and that query has
a RETURNING list. This appears to be a second showstopper reason for running
the Portal to completion before we start to hand anything back --- we want
to be sure that the rule-added queries get run too.
_SPI_execute_plan's return code should reflect the type of the query
that is marked canSetTag, not necessarily the last one in the list.
This is arguably a bug fix, but I'm hesitant to back-patch it because
it's the sort of subtle change that might break someone's code, and it's
best not to do that kind of thing in point releases.
a Coverity warning, these are risky since the hashtable isn't necessarily
fully set up yet. They're unnecessary anyway: a deletable hashtable
should be in a memory context that will be cleared following elog(ERROR).
Per report from Martijn van Oosterhout.
and instead make the grammar production for the RETURN statement do the
heavy lifting. The lookahead idea was copied from the main parser, but
it does not work in plpgsql's parser because here gram.y looks explicitly
at the scanner's yytext variable, which will be out of sync after a
failed lookahead step. A minimal example is
create or replace function foo() returns void language plpgsql as '
begin
perform return foo bar;
end';
which can be seen by testing to deliver "foo foo bar" to the main parser
instead of the expected "return foo bar". This isn't a huge bug since
RETURN is not found in the main grammar, but it could bite someone who
tried to use "return" as an identifier.
Back-patch to 8.1. Bug exists further back, but HEAD patch doesn't apply

the effort to develop adjusted patches.

well as vacuum_cost_delay. Since datestyle is a string variable,
this exercises memory allocation issues that might not appear when
modifying an integer GUC variable. Also, we can observe the side
effects of changing datestyle to check that assign hooks are called
at the right times.

merely a matter of fixing the error check, since the underlying Portal
infrastructure already handles it. This in turn allows these statements
to be used in some existing plpgsql and plperl contexts, such as a
plpgsql FOR loop. Also, do some marginal code cleanup in places that
were being sloppy about distinguishing SELECT from SELECT INTO.

The main reason for refactoring was that set_config_option() was too
overloaded function and its behavior did not consistent. Old version of
set_config_function hides some messages. For example if you type:
tcp_port = 5432.1
then old implementation ignore this error without any message to log
file in the signal context (configuration reload). Main problem was that
semantic analysis of postgresql.conf is not perform in the
ProcessConfigFile function, but in the set_config_options *after*
context check. This skipped check for variables with PG_POSTMASTER
context. There was request from Joachim Wieland to add more messages
about ignored changes in the config file as well.

Backpatch to 8.1.X. 8.0 works as documented.
loaded libraries: call functions _PG_init() and _PG_fini() if the library
defines such symbols. Hence we no longer need to specify an initialization
function in preload_libraries: we can assume that the library used the
_PG_init() convention, instead. This removes one source of pilot error
in use of preloaded libraries. Original patch by Ralf Engelschall,
preload_libraries changes by me.
