right circumstances a hash join executed as a DECLARE CURSOR/FETCH

that the hash tables were stored in a context that was a child of

to still be valid. I haven't chased down the details as seen in 7.0.*

of doing that, including Int32, Int8, UInt8, ...). Remove last few

that giving pg_proc a toast table required solving the same problems
we'd have to solve for pg_class --- pg_proc is one of the relations
that gets bootstrapped in relcache.c. Solution is to go back at the
end of initialization and read in the *real* pg_class row to replace
the phony entry created by formrdesc(). This should work as long as
there's no need to touch any toasted values during initialization,
which seems a reasonable assumption.
Although I did not add a toast-table for every single system table
with a varlena attribute, I believe that it would work to just do
ALTER TABLE pg_class CREATE TOAST TABLE. So anyone who's really
intent on having several thousand ACL entries for a rel could do it.

of this patch.

multiple times in the parsetree (can happen in COALESCE or BETWEEN

What we need is a consistent policy about whether querytrees should be
considered read-only structures or not ...
- encode 'text' from database encoding to ASCII
to_ascii('\256\341k')
to_ascii( text, int4 )
- encode 'text' from 'int4' encoding to ASCII

to_ascii( text, name )
- encode 'text' from 'name' encoding to ASCII
to_ascii('\256\341k', 'LATIN2')

trying to toast tuples inserted into toast tables! Fix is two-pronged:
first, ensure all columns of a toast table are marked attstorage='p',
and second, alter the target chunk size so that it's less than the
threshold for trying to toast a tuple. (Code tried to do that but the
expression was wrong.) A few cosmetic cleanups in tuptoaster too.
NOTE: initdb forced due to change in toaster chunk-size.
on myself to do something about the non-self-consistency of the inet
comparison functions. The results are probably still semantically wrong
(inet and cidr should have different comparison semantics, I think)
but at least the boolean operators now agree with each other and with
the sort order of indexes on inet/cidr.
These two routines will now ALWAYS elog() on failure, whether you ask for
a lock or not. If you really want to get a NULL return on failure, call
the new routines heap_open_nofail()/heap_openr_nofail(). By my count there
are only about three places that actually want that behavior. There were
rather more than three places that were missing the check they needed to
make under the old convention :-(.
result, in fact nearly the opposite of what it should, because it
was passing the not-equal operator to eqsel() which would use it to
compare the value against the most common value in the column, and
of course obtain the wrong result therefrom. Must pass the equality
operator to eqsel() instead. Fortunately that's easy to get from
the oprnegate link.
At this point I think it'd be possible to make float4 be pass-by-value
without too much work --- and float8 too on machines where Datum is
8 bytes. Something to try when the mood strikes, anyway.
- Added code to dump 'Create Schema' statement (pg_dump)
- Don't bother to disable/enable triggers if we don't have a superuser (pg_restore)
- Cleaned up code for reconnecting to database.
- Force a reconnect as superuser before enabling/disabling triggers.
- Added & Removed --throttle (pg_dump)
- Fixed minor bug in language dumping code: expbuffres were not being reset.
- Fixed version number initialization in _allocAH (pg_backup_archiver.c)
- Added second connection when restoring BLOBs to allow temp. table to survive
(db reconnection causes temp tables to be lost).

Removed type filename as well, since it's unused and probably useless.

the planner may try to generate them as a result of transitivity of the

Sometimes when the postgres connection dies it is necessary to
attempt to reconnect. Calling the pgconnection::Connect method in a
derived class leaks memory because it does not clear the current

Should provide a useful improvement in planning ability, too.
varlena elements work now. Allow assignment to previously-nonexistent
subscript position to extend array, but only for 1-D arrays and only
if adjacent to existing positions (could do more if we had a way to
represent nulls in arrays, but I don't want to tackle that now).
Arrange for assignment of NULL to an array element in UPDATE to be a
no-op, rather than setting the entire array to NULL as it used to.

done that...) Update regress test accordingly.
work as expected. THe underlying implementation is essentially
'SET foo = array_set(foo, 1, bar)', so we have to turn the items
into nested invocations of array_set() to make it work correctly.
Side effect: we now complain about 'UPDATE tab SET foo = bar, foo = baz'
which is illegal per SQL92 but we didn't detect it before.
Remove a bunch of crufty code for large-object-based arrays, which is
superseded by TOAST and likely hasn't worked in a long time anyway.
Clean up array code a little, and in particular eliminate its habit
of scribbling on the input array (ie, modifying the input tuple :-().

duplicate keys by letting search go to the left rather than right when an

Don't store leftmost key in non-leaf pages, since it's not necessary.
Don't create root page until something is first stored in the index, so an
unused index is now 8K not 16K. (Doesn't seem to be as easy to get rid of
the metadata page, unfortunately.) Massive cleanup of unreadable code,

documentation to be found (i.e., you are not using the distribution)
then this step is skipped.
Add --docdir option to configure to control installation directory.
There's now only one transition value and transition function.
NULL handling in aggregates is a lot cleaner. Also, use Numeric
accumulators instead of integer accumulators for sum/avg on integer
datatypes --- this avoids overflow at the cost of being a little slower.
Implement VARIANCE() and STDDEV() aggregates in the standard backend.
Also, enable new LIKE selectivity estimators by default. Unrelated

AlterTableAddConstraint. The major changes from the last patch
are that it should hopefully check for references to temp tables

foreign keys and refuse them and that it doesn't allow the table(s)
being constrained to be views (because those cases don't currently
work).

code ... did you know that copy, vacuum, truncate, reindex, extend index,

extracting information about an index and preparing index entries?
Functional indexes should be a little faster now too, due to removal
of repeated function lookups.

A in-chunk leak --- if something overwrite space after wanted (via palloc()

x = palloc(12); /* create 16b chunk */

this leak is in the current source total invisible, because chunk is 16b and
leak is in the "align space".
For this feature I add data_size to StandardChunk, and all memory which go
from AllocSetAlloc() is marked as 0x7F.
The MemoryContextCheck() is compiled '#ifdef USE_ASSERT_CHECKING'.
I add this checking to 'tcop/postgres.c' and is active after each backend
query, but it is probably not sufficient, because some MemoryContext exist
only during memory processing --- will good if someone who known where
it is needful (Tom:-) add it for others contexts;
A problem in the current source is that we have still some malloc()
allocation that is not needful and this allocation is total invisible for
all context routines. For example Dllist in backend (pretty dirty it is in
catcache where values in Dllist are palloc-ed, but list is malloc-ed).
--- and BTW. this Dllist design stand in the way for query cache :-)
Tom, if you agree I start replace some mallocs.
BTW. --- Tom, have you idea for across transaction presistent allocation for
SQL functions? (like regex - now it is via malloc)
I almost forget. I add one if() to AllocSetAlloc(), for 'size' that are
greater than ALLOC_BIGCHUNK_LIMIT is not needful check AllocSetFreeIndex(),
because 'fidx' is always 'ALLOCSET_NUM_FREELISTS - 1'. It a little brisk up

* Sweep through contrib tree to teach makefiles standard semantics.

The problem with the current settings is that the linker is called
directly. This is wrong, it should always be called through the
compiler
driver (the only exception is `ld -r'). This will make sure that the
necessary libraries like libgcc are linked in.
But there is still a different problem with the setting of LDFLAGS_ODBC.
The psqlodbc module defines the functions _init and _fini which are
reserved for the shared library initialisation. These should be changed
to constructor functions. Then LDFLAGS_ODBC can be changed to be just
`-lm'. Btw, why does it use -Bsymbolic?

Formerly, the rule trees were leaked permanently at relcache flush.
