user documentation.

after an unknown or failed psql backslash command, and also while
discarding "extra" arguments of a putatively valid backslash command.
In the case of an unknown/failed command, make sure we discard the
whole rest of the line, rather than trying to resume at the next
backslash. Per discussion with Thomer Gil.
thought there couldn't be any, but the folly of this was exposed by an
example from andrew@supernews.com 5-Dec-2004. The patch applies the
identical logic already used for table constraints and defaults to ON
SELECT rules, so I have reasonable confidence in it even though it might
look like complicated logic.
be emitted too soon. The previous code got this right in the case where
the CHECK was emitted as a separate ALTER TABLE command, but not in the
case where the CHECK is emitted right in CREATE TABLE. Per report from
Slawomir Sudnik.
Note: this code is pretty ugly; it'd perhaps be better to treat comments
as independently sortable dump objects. That'd be much too invasive a
change for RC time though.
useful than just \'failed\' when there's a problem. Per gripe from
Chris Albertson.
In an unrelated change, use VACUUM FULL; VACUUM FREEZE; rather than
a single VACUUM FULL FREEZE command, to respond to my worries of a
couple days ago about the reliability of doing this in one go.

clause implicitly whenever one is not given explicitly. Remove concept
of a schema having an associated tablespace, and simplify the rules for
selecting a default tablespace for a table or index. It's now just
(a) explicit TABLESPACE clause; (b) default_tablespace if that's not an
empty string; (c) database's default. This will allow pg_dump to use
SET commands instead of tablespace clauses to determine object locations
(but I didn't actually make it do so). All per recent discussions.
interesting for MS to catch all those dumps...
Anyway. Oops. Seems I ran my regression tests with the old psql, and
just managed to update the backend, when I tested that patch. Turns out
there are codepaths where we'd access the Critical Section before it was
initialized. Attached patch breaks the initializeation off to a separate
part and adds that one to a much earlier position in the program.

owned by postgres, doing "pg_ctl start" as root could allow a privilege
escalation attack, as pointed out by iDEFENSE. Of course the postmaster would
fail, but we ought to fail a little sooner to protect sysadmins unfamiliar
with Postgres. The chosen fix is to disable root use of pg_ctl in all cases,
just to be confident there are no other holes.

- refactor a bunch of code to call a separate function print_msg() which
checks whether "silent mode" is enabled before printing an error
message.
- rename "silence_mode" to "silent_mode", which IMHO makes more sense
- make the error messages we emit in "waiting" mode more consistent; I
believe this fixes a recent error message regression
- replace some function signatures of the form "some_type foo()" with
"some_type foo(void)"
- replace a few instances of a literal 0 being used as a NULL pointer;
there are more instances of this in the code, but I just fixed a few
- in src/backend/utils/mb/wstrncmp.c, replace K&R style function
declarations with ANSI style, remove use of 'register' keyword
- remove an "extern" modifier that was applied to a function definition
(rather than a declaration)

address all of the items in the todo list and adds some new

* Add "RENAME TO" for ALTER TRIGGER xx ON yy
* Pick proper table for ALTER TRIGGER xx ON ...
* Support for ALTER USER xxx ...
* Fix ALTER GROUP xxx DROP ...
* Fix ALTER DOMAIN xxx DROP ...
* Remove "OWNER TO" from ALTER DOMAIN xx DROP ...
* Fix ALTER DOMAIN xx SET DEFAULT ..
* Prevent ALTER INDEX xxx SET TABLESPACE from using "TO"
* Support for ALTER LANGUAGE xxx (RENAME TO)
* More support for ALTER TABLE xxx ALTER COLUMN xxx ...
* More support for COPY

a more tolerable limit on the number of subtransactions or deleted files

some possible causes of the stale postmaster.pid problem that some users
have reported.
- The service did not properly report that it accepts
SERVICE_CONTROL_SHUTDOWN events, thus it's possible the SCM simply
killed the postmaster on shutdown.
- 'WaitHints' are now given to the SCM to prevent it timing out if
pg_ctl doesn't respond to a control event quickly enough.
- During shutdown, the service checkpoint counter is incremented every
five seconds for up to a minute to prevent the SCM timing out and
assuming the service is not responding.

multiline command or to rerun the command easily later.
Whereas displaying the failed SQL command is a matter of fixing the
error
messages.
The latter is complicated by failed COPY commands which, with
die-on-errors
off, results in the data being processed as a command, so dumping the
command will dump all of the data.
In the case of long commands, should the whole command be dumped? eg.
(eg.
several pages of function definition).
In the case of the COPY command, I'm not sure what to do. Obviously, it
would be best to avoid sending the data, but the data and command are
combined (from memory). Also, the 'data' may be in the form of INSERT
statements.

to/in the psql-tabcomplete code. This diff includes the still missing
tab-complete support for TABLESPACE I already sent earlier. New in this
version of the patch is a small adaption of the tab-complete code to
support the adjusted SAVEPOINT-Syntax commited by Tom, as well as
completion of the only half working (and I think only by accident)
tabcomplete-suppport for "BEGIN [ TRANSACTION | WORK ]".
below is a complete list of the things I have changed with this patch:
*) add tablespace support for CREATE/DROP/ALTER and \db
*) sync the list of possible commands following ALTER with the docs (by
adding
AGGREGATE,CONVERSATION,DOMAIN,FUNCTION,LANGUAGE,OPERATOR,SEQUENCE,TABLESPACE
and TYPE)
*) provide a list of valid users after "OWNER TO"
*) tab-complete support for ALTER (AGGREGATE|CONVERSION|FUNCTION)
*) basic tab-complete support for ALTER DOMAIN
*) provide a list of suitable indexes following ALTER TABLE <sth>
CLUSTER ON(?)
*) add "CLUSTER ON" and "SET" to the ALTER TABLE <sth> - tab-complete
list(fixes incorrect/wrong tab-complete with ALTER TABLE <sth> SET
+<TAB> too)
*) provide a list of possible indexes following ALTER TABLE <sth> CLUSTER ON
*) provide list of possible commands(WITHOUT CLUSTER,WITHOUT OIDS,
TABLESPACE) following ALTER TABLE <sth> SET
*) sync "COMMENT ON" with docs by adding "CAST","CONVERSION","FUNCTION"
*) add ABSOLUT to the list of possible commands after FETCH
*) "END" was missing from the sql-commands overview (though it had
completion support!) - i know it's depreciated but we have ABORT and
others still in ...
*) fixes small buglet with ALTER (TRIGGER|CLUSTER) ON autocomplete
(CLUSTER ON +<TAB> would produce CLUSTER ON ON - same for TRIGGER ON)
*) adapt to new SAVEPOINT syntax
*) fix incomplete Support for BEGIN [ TRANSACTION | WORK ]

will treat any unquoted string that starts with a $ and has no preceding
identifier chars as a potential $-quote tag, it then makes sure that the
tag chars are valid. If so, it processes the $-quote.

of '.' or '..'. Extend canonicalize_path() to trim off trailing occurrences
of these things, and use it to fix up paths where needed (which I think is
only after places where we trim the last path component, but maybe some
others will turn up). Fixes Josh's complaint that './initdb' does not
work.
CurrentMemoryContext is DLLIMPORT on Win32. Work around that by
creating stubs in the backend for palloc/pstrdup.
Also fix pg_dumpall to do proper quoting on Win32.
o "_" is not escaped, and causes TeX to abort, thinking it's a
subscript outside of maths mode. Most of my table and field names
use underscores, so this is a really nasty one.
o The column count is calculated using the contents of opt_align. But
opt_align has one extra element, and so it's always one too many. I
changed it to count the column headings, like all the other output
formats. There may be a bug in computing opt_align that this patch
does not address, but I'm not yet familiar enough with the psql
source to fix this as well.
o The line drawing rules for each border setting (0-3) and expanded
mode didn't always match the documented behaviour and what other
formats (e.g. aligned) did. I made it as conformant as possible,
and also tidied the alignment of the first line of the footer, which
was incorrectly indented.

Instead of putting all the OWNER TO commands at the end, it dumps then
after each object. This is WAY more readable and nice. ACLs are still
at the end.
