This allows us to reliably remove all leftover temporary relation

be translated into a NULL element, respectively. If the third parameter
is NULL it behaves the same as the two-parameter form.
There are two incompatible changes in the behavior of the two-parameter form
of string_to_array. First, it will return an empty (zero-element) array
rather than NULL when the input string is of zero length. Second, if the
field separator is NULL, the function splits the string into individual
characters, rather than returning NULL as before. These two changes make
this form fully compatible with the behavior of the new three-parameter form.

rather than just $N. This brings the display of nestloop-inner-indexscan
plans back to where it's been, and incidentally improves the display of
SubPlan parameters as well. In passing, simplify the EXPLAIN code by
having it deal primarily in the PlanState tree rather than separately
searching Plan and PlanState trees. This is noticeably cleaner for
subplans, and about a wash elsewhere.
One small difference from previous behavior is that EXPLAIN will no longer
qualify local variable references in inner-indexscan plan nodes, since it
no longer sees such nodes as possibly referencing multiple tables. Vars
referenced through PARAM_EXEC Params are still forcibly qualified, though,
so I don't think the display is any more confusing than before. Adjust a
couple of examples in the documentation to match this behavior.

We might at some point find we ought to back-patch this further than 9.0,

tlists, in which case the problem can't arise because prior versions didn't

My initial impression that glibc was measuring the precision in characters
(which is what the Linux man page says it does) was incorrect. It does take
the precision to be in bytes, but it also tries to truncate the string at a
character boundary. The bottom line remains the same: it will mess up
if the string is not in the encoding it expects, so we need to avoid %.*s
anytime there's a significant risk of that. Previous code changes are still
good, but adjust the comments to reflect this knowledge. Per research by
Hernan Gonzalez.
Depending on which spec you read, field widths and precisions in %s may be
counted either in bytes or characters. Our code was assuming bytes, which
is wrong at least for glibc's implementation, and in any case libc might
have a different idea of the prevailing encoding than we do. Hence, for
portable results we must avoid using anything more complex than just "%s"
unless the string to be printed is known to be all-ASCII.
This patch fixes the cases I could find, including the psql formatting
failure reported by Hernan Gonzalez. In HEAD only, I also added comments
to some places where it appears safe to continue using "%.*s".

Add some checks that seem logically necessary, in particular let's make
real sure that HS slave sessions cannot create temp tables. (If they did
they would think that temp tables belonging to the master's session with
the same BackendId were theirs. We *must* not allow myTempNamespace to
become set in a slave session.)
Change setval() and nextval() so that they are only allowed on temp sequences
in a read-only transaction. This seems consistent with what we allow for
table modifications in read-only transactions. Since an HS slave can't have a
temp sequence, this also provides a nicer cure for the setval PANIC reported
by Erik Rijkers.
Make the error messages more uniform, and have them mention the specific
command being complained of. This seems worth the trifling amount of extra
code, since people are likely to see such messages a lot more than before.
ArrayRef expressions that are not in the immediate context of an INSERT or
UPDATE targetlist. Such cases never arise in stored rules, so ruleutils.c
hadn't tried to handle them. However, they do occur in the targetlists of
plans derived from such statements, and now that EXPLAIN VERBOSE tries to
print targetlists, we need some way to deal with the case.
I chose to represent an assignment ArrayRef as "array[subscripts] := source",
which is fairly reasonable and doesn't omit any information. However,
FieldStore is problematic because the planner will fold multiple assignments
to fields of the same composite column into one FieldStore, resulting in a
structure that is hard to understand at all, let alone display comprehensibly.
So in that case I punted and just made it print the source expression(s).
Backpatch to 8.4 --- the lack of functionality exists in older releases,
but doesn't seem to be important for lack of anything that would call it.
In addition, add support for a "payload" string to be passed along with

This implementation should be significantly more efficient than the old one,
and is also more compatible with Hot Standby usage. There is not yet any

although such a thing is possible in future.

of shared or nailed system catalogs. This has two key benefits:
* The new CLUSTER-based VACUUM FULL can be applied safely to all catalogs.
* We no longer have to use an unsafe reindex-in-place approach for reindexing
shared catalogs.
CLUSTER on nailed catalogs now works too, although I left it disabled on
shared catalogs because the resulting pg_index.indisclustered update would
only be visible in one database.
Since reindexing shared system catalogs is now fully transactional and
crash-safe, the former special cases in REINDEX behavior have been removed;
shared catalogs are treated the same as non-shared.
This commit does not do anything about the recently-discussed problem of
deadlocks between VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER on a system catalog and other

pg_constraint before searching pg_trigger. This allows saner handling of
corner cases; in particular we now say "constraint is not deferrable"
rather than "constraint does not exist" when the command is applied to
a constraint that's inherently non-deferrable. Per a gripe several months
ago from hubert depesz lubaczewski.
To make this work without breaking user-defined constraint triggers,
we have to add entries for them to pg_constraint. However, in return
we can remove the pgconstrname column from pg_constraint, which represents
a fairly sizable space savings. I also replaced the tgisconstraint column
with tgisinternal; the old meaning of tgisconstraint can now be had by
testing for nonzero tgconstraint, while there is no other way to get
the old meaning of nonzero tgconstraint, namely that the trigger was
internally generated rather than being user-created.
In passing, fix an old misstatement in the docs and comments, namely that
pg_trigger.tgdeferrable is exactly redundant with pg_constraint.condeferrable.
Actually, we mark RI action triggers as nondeferrable even when they belong to
a nominally deferrable FK constraint. The SET CONSTRAINTS code now relies on
that instead of hard-coding a list of exception OIDs.

produce an invalid result value for other negative values.
We ought to fix it so that 2-parameter bit substring() is a different C
function and the 3-parameter form throws error for negative length, but
that takes a pg_proc change which is impractical in the back branches;
and in any case somebody might be relying on -1 working this way.
So just do this as a back-patchable fix.

"column < constant", and the comparison value is in the first or last
histogram bin or outside the histogram entirely, try to fetch the actual
column min or max value using an index scan (if there is an index on the
column). If successful, replace the lower or upper histogram bound with
that value before carrying on with the estimate. This limits the
estimation error caused by moving min/max values when the comparison
value is close to the min or max. Per a complaint from Josh Berkus.
It is tempting to consider using this mechanism for mergejoinscansel as well,
but that would inject index fetches into main-line join estimation not just
endpoint cases. I'm refraining from that until we can get a better handle
on the costs of doing this type of lookup.
This is needed to avoid unwanted interference with SUBSTRING behavior,

to be just a minor extension of the previous patch that made "x IS NULL"
indexable, because we can treat the IS NOT NULL condition as if it were
"x < NULL" or "x > NULL" (depending on the index's NULLS FIRST/LAST option),
just like IS NULL is treated like "x = NULL". Aside from any possible
usefulness in its own right, this is an important improvement for
index-optimized MAX/MIN aggregates: it is now reliably possible to get
a column's min or max value cheaply, even when there are a lot of nulls
cluttering the interesting end of the index.
Since the int2vector type is intended only for internal use, this patch doesn't
worry about prettifying the error messages, which has the fringe benefit of
avoiding creating additional translatable strings. For a type intended to be
used by end-users, we would want to do better, but the approach taken here
seems like the correct trade-off for this case.

Enabled by recovery_connections = on (default) and forcing archive recovery using a recovery.conf. Recovery processing now emulates the original transactions as they are replayed, providing full locking and MVCC behaviour for read only queries. Recovery must enter consistent state before connections are allowed, so there is a delay, typically short, before connections succeed. Replay of recovering transactions can conflict and in some cases deadlock with queries during recovery; these result in query cancellation after max_standby_delay seconds have expired. Infrastructure changes have minor effects on normal running, though introduce four new types of WAL record.
New test mode "make standbycheck" allows regression tests of static command behaviour on a standby server while in recovery. Typical and extreme dynamic behaviours have been checked via code inspection and manual testing. Few port specific behaviours have been utilised, though primary testing has been on Linux only so far.
This commit is the basic patch. Additional changes will follow in this release to enhance some aspects of behaviour, notably improved handling of conflicts, deadlock detection and query cancellation. Changes to VACUUM FULL are also required.

we had to prevent such a function from executing SET/RESET ROLE/SESSION
AUTHORIZATION, or it could trivially obtain the privileges of the session

The present patch secures VACUUM, ANALYZE, and CREATE INDEX/REINDEX against
these threats, which are the same places previously deemed to need protection
against the SET ROLE issue. GUC changes are still allowed, since there are
many useful cases for that, but we prevent security problems by forcing a
rollback of any GUC change after completing the operation. Other cases are
handled by throwing an error if any change is attempted; these include temp
table creation, closing a cursor, and creating or deleting a prepared
statement. (In 7.4, the infrastructure to roll back GUC changes doesn't
exist, so we settle for rejecting changes of "search_path" in these contexts.)

LockRows discarding updated rows.
There is a related problem that LockRows might destroy the sort ordering

would create serious performance problems that are unjustified in many
real-world applications, as well as potential deadlock problems from locking
many more rows than expected. Instead, keep the present semantics of applying
FOR UPDATE after ORDER BY within a single query level; but allow the user to
specify the other way by writing FOR UPDATE in a sub-select. To make that
work, track whether FOR UPDATE appeared explicitly in sub-selects or got

* Escape ^ and $. It appears that our regex engine will treat ^^ at the
beginning of the string the same as ^, and similarly for $$ at the end of
the string, which meant that SIMILAR TO was effectively ignoring ^ at the
start of the pattern and $ at the end. Since these are not supposed to be
metacharacters, this is a bug.
The second part of this is arguably a back-patchable bug fix, but I'm

Before, PL/Python converted data between SQL and Python by going
through a C string representation. This broke for bytea in two ways:
- On input (function parameters), you would get a Python string that
contains bytea's particular external representation with backslashes
etc., instead of a sequence of bytes, which is what you would expect
in a Python environment. This problem is exacerbated by the new
bytea output format.
- On output (function return value), null bytes in the Python string
would cause truncation before the data gets stored into a bytea
datum.
This is now fixed by converting directly between the PostgreSQL datum
and the Python representation.
The required generalized infrastructure also allows for other
improvements in passing:
- When returning a boolean value, the SQL datum is now true if and
only if Python considers the value that was passed out of the
PL/Python function to be true. Previously, this determination was
left to the boolean data type input function. So, now returning
'foo' results in true, because Python considers it true, rather than
false because PostgreSQL considers it false.
- On input, we can convert the integer and float types directly to
their Python equivalents without having to go through an
intermediate string representation.

that. All available evidence is that the only functions affected are
int24div, int48div, and int28div, so patch just those three functions to
include a "return" after the ereport() call.
Backpatch to 8.4 so that the fix can be tested in production builds.
For older branches our recommendation will continue to be to use -O1
on affected platforms (which are mostly non-mainstream anyway).
Both hex format and the traditional "escape" format are automatically
handled on input. The output format is selected by the new GUC variable
bytea_output.
As committed, bytea_output defaults to HEX, which is an *incompatible
change*. We will keep it this way for awhile for testing purposes, but
should consider whether to switch to the more backwards-compatible
default of ESCAPE before 8.5 is released.

In passing, also remove the arbitrary length limitation in the similar
error detail message for foreign key violations.

include a fractional part in the output for MILLISECOND and SECOND cases,
rather than truncating the source value. This is what the float-timestamp
code has always done, and it was clearly the code author's intent to do
the same for integer timestamps, but he forgot about integer division in C.
The other datatypes supported by EXTRACT() already do this correctly.
Backpatch to 8.4, so that the default (integer) behavior of that branch will
match the default (float) behavior of older branches. Arguably we should
patch further back, but it's possible that applications are expecting the
broken behavior in older branches. 8.4 is new enough that expectations
shouldn't be too settled.
Per report from Greg Stark.
The current implementation fires an AFTER ROW trigger for each tuple that
looks like it might be non-unique according to the index contents at the
time of insertion. This works well as long as there aren't many conflicts,
but won't scale to massive unique-key reassignments. Improving that case
is a TODO item.

This is believed to not change the output at all, with one known exception:
"Subquery Scan foo" becomes "Subquery Scan on foo". (We can fix that if
anyone complains, but it would be a wart, because the old code was clearly
inconsistent.) The main intention is to remove duplicate coding and
provide a cleaner base for subsequent EXPLAIN patching.
Robert Haas
of individually pfree'ing pass-by-reference transition values. This should
be at least as fast as the prior coding, and it has the major advantage of
clearing out any working data an aggregate function may have stored in or
underneath the aggcontext. This avoids memory leakage when an aggregate
such as array_agg() is used in GROUP BY mode. Per report from Chris Spotts.
Back-patch to 8.4. In principle the problem could arise in prior versions,
but since they didn't have array_agg the issue seems not critical.
This alters various incidental uses of C++ key words to use other similar
identifiers, so that a C++ compiler won't choke outright. You still
(probably) need extern "C" { }; around the inclusion of backend headers.
based on a patch by Kurt Harriman <harriman@acm.org>
Also add a script cpluspluscheck to check for C++ compatibility in the
future. As of right now, this passes without error for me.
Changes:
Pass in the keyword lookup array instead of having it be hardwired.
(This incidentally allows elimination of some duplicate coding in ecpg.)
Re-order the token declarations in gram.y so that non-keyword tokens have
numbers that won't change when keywords are added or removed.
Add ".." and ":=" to the set of tokens recognized by scan.l. (Since these
combinations are nowhere legal in core SQL, this does not change anything
except the precise wording of the error you get when you write this.)
distinction between the external API (parser.h) and declarations that only
need to be visible within the raw parser code (gramparse.h, which now is only
included by parser.c, gram.y, scan.l, and keywords.c). This is in preparation
for the upcoming change to a reentrant lexer, which will require referencing
YYSTYPE in the declarations of base_yylex and filtered_base_yylex, hence
gram.h will have to be included by gramparse.h. We don't want any more files
than absolutely necessary to depend on gram.h, so some cleanup is called for.
timestamp_trunc, timestamptz_trunc, and interval_trunc(). This change
only affects the float-datetime case; the integer-datetime case already
behaved like truncation instead of rounding. Per gripe from Mario Splivalo.
This is a pre-existing issue but I'm choosing not to backpatch, because
it's such a corner case and there have not been prior complaints. The
issue is largely moot anyway given the trend towards integer datetimes.
a number of other geometric operators also depend on. It miscalculated the
slope of the perpendicular to the given line segment anytime that slope was
other than 0, infinite, or +/-1. In some cases the error would be masked
because the true closest point on the line segment was one of its endpoints
rather than the intersection point, but in other cases it could give an
arbitrarily bad answer. Per bug #4872 from Nick Roosevelt.
Bug goes clear back to Berkeley days, so patch all supported branches.
Make a couple of cosmetic adjustments while at it.

our pre-8.4 behavior, as per bug #4862.

ArrayBuildState, per trouble report from Merlin Moncure. By adopting
this fix, we are essentially deciding that aggregate final-functions
should not modify their inputs ever. Adjust documentation and comments
to match that conclusion.
eg Japan. Report and fix by Itagaki Takahiro. Also fix CASHDEBUG printout
format for branches with 64-bit money type, and some minor comment cleanup.
Back-patch to 7.4, because it's broken all the way back.
more consistent with other cases, by having an unlabeled integer field
be treated as a number of minutes or seconds respectively. These cases
are outside the spec (which insists on full "dd hh:mm" or "dd hh:mm:ss"
input respectively), so it's not much help to us in deciding what to do.
But with this change, it's uniformly the case that an unlabeled integer
will be considered as being a number of the interval's rightmost field.
The change also takes us back to the 8.3 behavior of throwing error
for certain ambiguous inputs such as INTERVAL '1 2' DAY TO MINUTE.
Per recent discussion.
Sergey Burladyan, there are at least some dank corners of libxml2 that
assume this behavior, even though their published documentation suggests
they shouldn't.
This is only really a live problem in 8.3, but the code is still there
for possible debugging use in HEAD, so patch both branches.
"array_agg_finalfn(null)". We should modify pg_proc entries to prevent this
query from being accepted, but let's just make the function itself secure too.
Per my note of today.
grounds that they don't fit into the specified interval qualifier (typmod).
This behavior, while of long standing, is clearly wrong per spec --- for
example the value INTERVAL '999' SECOND means 999 seconds and should not be
reduced to less than 60 seconds.
In some cases there could be grounds to raise an error if higher-order field
values are not given as zero; for example '1 year 1 month'::INTERVAL MONTH
should arguably be taken as an error rather than equivalent to 13 months.
However our internal representation doesn't allow us to do that in a fashion
that would consistently reject all and only the cases that a strict reading
of the spec would suggest. Also, seeing that for example INTERVAL '13' MONTH
will print out as '1 year 1 mon', we have to be careful not to create a
situation where valid data will fail to dump and reload. The present patch
therefore takes the attitude of not throwing an error in any such case.
We might want to revisit that in future but it would take more redesign
than seems prudent in late beta.
Per a complaint from Sebastien Flaesch and subsequent discussion. While
at other times we might have just postponed such an issue to the next
development cycle, 8.4 already has changed the parsing of interval literals
quite a bit in an effort to accept all spec-compliant cases correctly.
This seems like a change that should be part of that rather than coming
along later.
YEAR, DECADE, CENTURY, or MILLENIUM fields, just as it always has done for
other types of fields. The previous behavior seems to have been a hack to
avoid defining bit-positions for all these field types in DTK_M() masks,
rather than something that was really considered to be desired behavior.
But there is room in the masks for these, and we really need to tighten up
at least the behavior of DAY and YEAR fields to avoid unexpected behavior
associated with the 8.4 changes to interpret ambiguous fields based on the
interval qualifier (typmod) value. Per my example and proposed patch.
an expression that's not supposed to contain variables. Per discussion
with Gevik Babakhani, this eliminates the need for an ugly kluge (namely,
specifying some unrelated relation name). Remove one such kluge from
pg_dump.
of time values that would not be accepted via textual input.
Per gripe from Andrew McNamara.
This is potentially a back-patchable bug fix, but for the moment it doesn't
seem sufficiently high impact to justify doing that.
this case is worth a special code path, but a special code path that gets
the boundary condition wrong is definitely no good. Per bug #4821 from
Andrew Gierth.
In passing, clean up some minor code formatting issues (excess parentheses
and blank lines in odd places).
Back-patch to 8.3, where the bug was introduced.
redirecting libxml's allocations into a Postgres context. Instead, just let
it use malloc directly, and add PG_TRY blocks as needed to be sure we release
libxml data structures in error recovery code paths. This is ugly but seems
much more likely to play nicely with third-party uses of libxml, as seen in
recent trouble reports about using Perl XML facilities in pl/perl and bug
#4774 about contrib/xml2.
I left the code for allocation redirection in place, but it's only
built/used if you #define USE_LIBXMLCONTEXT. This is because I found it
useful to corral libxml's allocations in a palloc context when hunting
for libxml memory leaks, and we're surely going to have more of those
in the future with this type of approach. But we don't want it turned on
in a normal build because it breaks exactly what we need to fix.
I have not re-indented most of the code sections that are now wrapped
by PG_TRY(); that's for ease of review. pg_indent will fix it.
This is a pre-existing bug in 8.3, but I don't dare back-patch this change
until it's gotten a reasonable amount of field testing.
xml_parse, all arising from the same sloppy usage of parse_xml_decl.
The original coding had that function returning its output string
parameters in the libxml context, which is long-lived, and all but one
of its callers neglected to free the strings afterwards. The easiest
and most bulletproof fix is to return the strings in the local palloc
context instead, since that's short-lived. This was only costing a
dozen or two bytes per function call, but that adds up fast if the
function is called repeatedly ...
Noted while poking at the more general problem of what to do with our
libxml memory allocation hooks. Back-patch to 8.3, which has the
identical coding.
part that rounds up to exactly 1.0 second. The previous coding rejected input
like "00:12:57.9999999999999999999999999999", with the exact number of nines
needed to cause failure varying depending on float-timestamp option and
possibly on platform. Obviously this should round up to the next integral
second, if we don't have enough precision to distinguish the value from that.
Per bug #4789 from Robert Kruus.
In passing, fix a missed check for fractional seconds in one copy of the
"is it greater than 24:00:00" code.

Stefan Kaltenbrunner. The most reasonable behavior (at least for the near
term) seems to be to ignore the PlaceHolderVar and examine its argument
instead. In support of this, change the API of pull_var_clause() to allow
callers to request recursion into PlaceHolderVars. Currently
estimate_num_groups() is the only customer for that behavior, but where
there's one there may be others.

not having it at all seems better than having it with what might prove
to be the wrong behavior. We can always add it later when we have consensus
on the correct behavior.

negligible --- what I'm interested in is making sure that if we have
second thoughts about the definition, we will not have to force a

are individually labeled, rather than just grouped under an "InitPlan"
or "SubPlan" heading. This in turn makes it possible for decompilation of
a subplan reference to usefully identify which subplan it's referencing.
I also made InitPlans identify which parameter symbol(s) they compute,
so that references to those parameters elsewhere in the plan tree can
be connected to the initplan that will be executed. Per a gripe from
Robert Haas about EXPLAIN output of a WITH query being inadequate,
plus some longstanding pet peeves of my own.
interval_eq() considers equal. I'm not sure how that fundamental requirement
escaped us through multiple revisions of this hash function, but there it is;
it's been wrong since interval_hash was first written for PG 7.1.
Per bug #4748 from Roman Kononov.
Backpatch to all supported releases.
This patch changes the contents of hash indexes for interval columns. That's
no particular problem for PG 8.4, since we've broken on-disk compatibility
of hash indexes already; but it will require a migration warning note in
the next minor releases of all existing branches: "if you have any hash
indexes on columns of type interval, REINDEX them after updating".

This is the core infrastructure needed to support the soon-to-appear

to date, as per bug #4702 and subsequent discussion. In particular, make it
work for years specified using AD/BC or CC fields, and fix the test for "no
year specified" so that it doesn't trigger inappropriately for 1 BC (which it
was doing even in code paths that had nothing to do with to_timestamp). I
also did some minor code beautification in the non-ISO-day-number code path.
This area has been busted all along, but because the code has been rewritten
repeatedly, it would be considerable trouble to back-patch. It's such a
corner case that it doesn't seem worth the effort.

a pretty bogus error message in such cases, but I'll settle for stopping the
crash for now.) Per bug #4700 from Sergey Burladyan.

In HEAD, also clean up some ugly coding in the nearby cache management

looks for a CaseTestExpr to figure out what the parser did, but it failed to
consider the possibility that an implicit coercion might be inserted above
the CaseTestExpr. This could result in an Assert failure in some cases
(but correct results if Asserts weren't enabled), or an "unexpected CASE WHEN
clause" error in other cases. Per report from Alan Li.
Back-patch to 8.1; problem doesn't exist before that because CASE was
implemented differently.
unary minus operators. We weren't attempting to prevent minus zero anywhere
else; in view of our gradual trend to make the float datatypes more IEEE
standard compliant, we should allow minus zero here rather than disallow it
elsewhere.
We don't, however, expect that all platforms will produce minus zero, so
we need to adjust the one affected regression test to allow both results.
Per discussion of bug #4660.
(In passing, clean up a couple other minor infelicities in float.c.)

requires a bit of reordering of operations so that we check the predicates
before doing any selectivity estimates, but shouldn't really cause any
noticeable slowdown. Per a comment from Michal Politowski.
has_column_privilege and has_any_column_privilege SQL functions; fix the
information_schema views that are supposed to pay attention to column
privileges; adjust pg_stats to show stats for any column you have select
privilege on; and fix COPY to allow copying a subset of columns if the user
has suitable per-column privileges for all the columns.
To improve efficiency of some of the information_schema views, extend the
has_xxx_privilege functions to allow inquiring about the OR of a set of
privileges in just one call. This is just exposing capability that already
existed in the underlying aclcheck routines.
In passing, make the information_schema views report the owner's own
privileges as being grantable, since Postgres assumes this even when the grant
option bit is not set in the ACL. This is a longstanding oversight.
Also, make the new has_xxx_privilege functions for foreign data objects follow
the same coding conventions used by the older ones.

Also, if linked against other versions than the default MSVCRT library
(for example the MSVC build which links against MSVCRT80), also update
the cache in the default MSVCRT at the same time.
This should fix the issues with setting LC_MESSAGES on the MSVC build.
Original patch from Hiroshi Inoue and Hiroshi Saito, much rewritten
by me.

This should be noted as a source code change in the 8.4 release notes,
since it's likely to require changes in add-on modules.
so that user-defined window functions are possible. For the moment you'll
have to write them in C, for lack of any interface to the WindowObject API
in the available PLs, but it's better than no support at all.
There was some debate about the best syntax for this. I ended up choosing
the "it's an attribute" position --- the other approach will inevitably be
more work, and the likely market for user-defined window functions is
probably too small to justify it.
patch. This includes the ability to force the frame to cover the whole
partition, and the ability to make the frame end exactly on the current row
rather than its last ORDER BY peer. Supporting any more of the full SQL
frame-clause syntax will require nontrivial hacking on the window aggregate
code, so it'll have to wait for 8.5 or beyond.
