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
cleanly, and given the lack of field complaints it doesn't seem worth
the effort to develop adjusted patches.

due to lack of any logging at all here.
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.
nonunique join value, leading to plan-choice-dependent results ... and
it seems some platforms will choose a different plan. Tweak the test
so that it has well-defined results. Per report from Olivier Prenant.
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.
plpgsql support to come later. Along the way, convert execMain's
SELECT INTO support into a DestReceiver, in order to eliminate some ugly
special cases.

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.

typmod, rather than generic -1. This responds to several complaints
over the past few years about UNIONs unexpectedly dropping length or
precision info.

actually fixes all setitimer calls on Win32, but statement_timeout is
the most visible fix.
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.

operation every so often. This improves the usefulness of PITR log
shipping for hot standby: formerly, if the standby server crashed, it
was necessary to restart it from the last base backup and replay all
the WAL since then. Now it will only need to reread about the same
amount of WAL as the master server would. The behavior might also
come in handy during a long PITR replay sequence. Simon Riggs,
