in the zic database or zone names found in the date token table. This
preserves the old ability to do AT TIME ZONE 'PST' along with the new
ability to do AT TIME ZONE 'PST8PDT'. Per gripe from Bricklen Anderson.
Also, fix some inconsistencies in usage of TZ_STRLEN_MAX --- the old
code had the potential for one-byte buffer overruns, though given
alignment considerations it's unlikely there was any real risk.
for procedural languages. This replaces the hard-wired table I had
originally proposed as a stopgap solution. For the moment, the initial
contents only include languages shipped with the core distribution.
as per my recent proposal. For now the template data is hard-wired in
proclang.c --- this should be replaced later by a new shared system
catalog, but we don't want to force initdb during 8.1 beta. This change
lets us cleanly load existing dump files even if they contain outright
wrong information about a PL's support functions, such as a wrong path
to the shared library or a missing validator function. Also, we can
revert the recent kluges to make pg_dump dump PL support functions that
are stored in pg_catalog.
While at it, I removed the code in pg_regress that replaced $libdir
with a hardcoded path for temporary installations. This is no longer
needed given our support for relocatable installations.
when there are extra resjunk columns in the child node. I found some
additional cases involving Append nodes that weren't handled by the
prior patch, and it's not clear how to fix them in the same way without
breaking inheritance cases. So the prudent path seems to be to narrow
the scope of the optimization.
has to recopy the input plan node's targetlist if it removes a
SubqueryScan node just below the non-projecting node. For simplicity
I made it recopy always. Per bug report from Allan Wang and Michael Fuhr.
on a page, as suggested by ITAGAKI Takahiro. Also, change a few places
that were using some other estimates of max-items-per-page to consistently
use MaxOffsetNumber. This is conservatively large --- we could have used
the new MaxHeapTuplesPerPage macro, or a similar one for index tuples ---
but those places are simply declaring a fixed-size buffer and assuming it
will work, rather than actively testing for overrun. It seems safer to
size these buffers in a way that can't overflow even if the page is
corrupt.
saves nearly 700kB in the default shared memory segment size, which seems
worthwhile, and it is a feature that many users won't use anyway. Per
Heikki's argument, there is no point in a compromise value --- those who
are using 2PC at all will probably want it at least equal to max_connections.
But we can't set it to zero by default without breaking the prepared_xacts
regression test.
so that the latter estimates the number of groups that grouping will
produce. This is needed because it is primarily query_planner that
makes the decision between fast-start and fast-finish plans, and in the
original coding it was unable to make more than a crude rule-of-thumb
choice when the query involved grouping. This revision helps us make
saner choices for queries like SELECT ... GROUP BY ... LIMIT, as in a
recent example from Mark Kirkwood. Also move the responsibility for
canonicalizing sort_pathkeys and group_pathkeys into query_planner;
this information has to be available anyway to support the first change,
and doing it this way lets us get rid of compare_noncanonical_pathkeys
entirely.
to copy the whole plan tree before invoking adjust_plan_varnos(); else
if there is any multiply-linked substructure, the latter might increment
some Var's varno twice. Previously there were some retail copyObject
calls inside adjust_plan_varnos, but it seems a lot safer to just dup the
whole tree first. Also, set_inner_join_references was trying to avoid
work by not recursing if a BitmapHeapScan's bitmapqualorig contained no
outer references; which was OK at the time the code was written, I think,
but now that create_bitmap_scan_plan removes duplicate clauses from
bitmapqualorig it is possible for that field to be NULL while outer
references still remain in the qpqual and/or contained indexscan nodes.
For safety, always recurse even if the BitmapHeapScan looks to be outer
reference free. Per reports from Michael Fuhr and Oleg Bartunov.

someone else (such as a superuser or a member of the owning role).
Per gripe from Michael Fuhr.
in interval_mul and interval_div. This avoids an optimization bug
in A Certain Company's compiler (and given their explanation, I wouldn't
be surprised if other compilers blow it too). Besides the code seems
more clear this way --- in the original formulation, you had to mentally
recognize the common subexpression in order to understand what was going
on.
use these instead of its previous hack of changing pg_class.reltriggers.
Documentation is lacking, will add that later.

after the fact. Fix bug with incorrect test for whether we are at end
of logfile segment. Arrange for writes triggered by XLogInsert's
is-cache-more-than-half-full test to synchronize with the cache boundaries,
so that in long transactions we tend to write alternating halves of the
cache rather than randomly chosen portions of it; this saves one more
write syscall per cache load.
erroring out as it has done for the last couple weeks. Document that this
form is now ignored because indexes can't usefully have different owners
from their parent tables. Fix pg_dump to not generate ALTER OWNER commands
for indexes.

users, but I'm disinclined to toy with the security model right now,
so just special-case it for superusers where needed.

This allows us to remove the former arbitrary restrictions on NBuffers
etc. It won't make any difference in a 32-bit machine, but in a 64-bit
machine you could theoretically have terabytes of shared buffers.
(How efficiently we could manage 'em remains to be seen.) Similarly,
num_temp_buffers, work_mem, and maintenance_work_mem can be set above
2Gb on a 64-bit machine. Original patch from Koichi Suzuki, additional
work by moi.
insufficient paranoia in code that follows t_ctid links. (We must do both
because even with VACUUM doing it properly, the intermediate state with
a dangling t_ctid link is visible concurrently during lazy VACUUM, and
could be seen afterwards if either type of VACUUM crashes partway through.)
Also try to improve documentation about what's going on. Patch is a bit
bulky because passing the XMAX information around required changing the
APIs of some low-level heapam.c routines, but it's not conceptually very
complicated. Per trouble report from Teodor and subsequent analysis.
This needs to be back-patched, but I'll do that after 8.1 beta is out.
