added to information_schema (per a SQL2003 addition). The original coding
failed if a referenced column participated in more than one pg_constraint
entry. Also, it did not work if an FK relied directly on a unique index
without any constraint syntactic sugar --- this case is outside the SQL spec,
but PG has always supported it, so it's reasonable for our information_schema
to handle it too. Per bug#2750 from Stephen Haberman.
Although this patch changes the initial catalog contents, I didn't force
initdb. Any beta3 testers who need the fix can install it via CREATE OR
REPLACE VIEW, so forcing them to initdb seems an unnecessary imposition.

was a quick hack long ago, but it's time to be smarter. Per example

30 seconds instead of retrying forever. Also modify xlog.c so that if
it fails to rename an old xlog segment up to a future slot, it will
unlink the segment instead. Per discussion of bug #2712, in which it
became apparent that Windows can handle unlinking a file that's being
held open, but not renaming it.
The former coding relied on the actual allocated size of the last block,
which made it behave strangely if the first allocation in a context was
larger than ALLOC_CHUNK_LIMIT: subsequent allocations would be referenced
to that and not to the intended series of block sizes. Noted while
studying a memory wastage gripe from Tatsuo.
more space is needed, instead of incrementing by a fixed amount; the old
method wastes lots of space and time when the ultimate size is large.
Per gripe from Tatsuo.
text_to_array(): they all had O(N^2) behavior on long input strings in
multibyte encodings, because of repeated rescanning of the input text to
identify substrings whose positions/lengths were computed in characters
instead of bytes. Fix by tracking the current source position as a char
pointer as well as a character-count. Also avoid some unnecessary palloc
operations. text_to_array() also leaked memory intracall due to failure
to pfree temporary strings. Per gripe from Tatsuo Ishii.
sub-arrays. Per discussion, if all inputs are empty arrays then result
must be an empty array too, whereas a mix of empty and nonempty arrays
should (and already did) draw an error. In the back branches, the
construct was strict: any NULL input immediately yielded a NULL output;
so I left that behavior alone. HEAD was simply ignoring NULL sub-arrays,
which doesn't seem very sensible. For lack of a better idea it now
treats NULL sub-arrays the same as empty ones.
include it if it links properly. It seems too risky to assume that
standard functions like pow() are not special-cased by the compiler.
Per report from Andreas Lange that build fails on Solaris cc compiler

I'm worried that similar issues will arise with other compilers.
manually release the LDAP handle via ldap_unbind(). This isn't a
significant problem in practice because an error eventually results
in exiting the process, but we can cleanup correctly without too
much pain.
In passing, fix an error in snprintf() usage: the "size" parameter
to snprintf() is the size of the destination buffer, including space
for the NUL terminator. Also, depending on the value of NAMEDATALEN,
the old coding could have allowed for a buffer overflow.
stale relcache init files (pg_internal.init), and there is no mechanism for
updating them during WAL replay. Easiest solution is just to delete the init
files at conclusion of startup, and let the first backend started in each
database take care of rebuilding the init file. Simon Riggs and Tom Lane.
Back-patched to 8.1. Arguably this should be fixed in 8.0 too, but it would
require significantly more code since 8.0 has no handy startup-time scan of
pg_database to piggyback on. Manual solution of the problem is possible
in 8.0 (just delete the pg_internal.init files before starting WAL replay),
so that may be a sufficient answer.
in PITR scenarios. We now WAL-log the replacement of old XIDs with
FrozenTransactionId, so that such replacement is guaranteed to propagate to
PITR slave databases. Also, rather than relying on hint-bit updates to be
preserved, pg_clog is not truncated until all instances of an XID are known to
have been replaced by FrozenTransactionId. Add new GUC variables and
pg_autovacuum columns to allow management of the freezing policy, so that
users can trade off the size of pg_clog against the amount of freezing work
done. Revise the already-existing code that forces autovacuum of tables
approaching the wraparound point to make it more bulletproof; also, revise the
autovacuum logic so that anti-wraparound vacuuming is done per-table rather
than per-database. initdb forced because of changes in pg_class, pg_database,
and pg_autovacuum catalogs. Heikki Linnakangas, Simon Riggs, and Tom Lane.
deletion code to avoid the case where an upper-level btree page remains "half
dead" for a significant period of time, and to block insertions into a key
range that is in process of being re-assigned to the right sibling of the
deleted page's parent. This prevents the scenario reported by Ed L. wherein
index keys could become out-of-order in the grandparent index level.
Since this is a moderately invasive fix, I'm applying it only to HEAD.
The bug exists back to 7.4, but the back branches will get a different patch.

node of a SubLink or SubPlan testexpr field. Bug resulted from replacing
the old lefthand/exprs list fields with a simple expression field, and not
remembering that expression_tree_walker is coded to save a few cycles by
recursing directly to self on list fields (on the assumption the walker
isn't interested in List nodes per se). On non-list fields it must of
course call the walker. Possibly that hack isn't worth the risk of more
such bugs, but I'll leave it be for now. Per bug report from James Robinson.

input routines. Remove the former "DecodePosixTimezone" function in favor of
letting the zic code handle POSIX-style zone specs (see tzparse()). In
particular this means that "PST+3" now means the same as "-03", whereas it
used to mean "-11" --- the zone abbreviation is effectively just a noise word
in this syntax. Make sure that all named and POSIX-style zone names will be
parsed as a single token. Fix long-standing bogosities in printing and input
of fractional-hour timezone offsets (since the tzparse() code will accept
these, we'd better make 'em work). Also correct an error in the original
coding of the zic-zone-name patch: in "timestamp without time zone" input,
zone names are supposed to be allowed but ignored, but the coding was such
that the zone changed the interpretation anyway.
example SET TIME ZONE 'america/new_york' works now. This seems a good
idea on general user-friendliness grounds, and is part of the solution
to the timestamp-input parsing problems I noted recently.

1) pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket(): WaitForMultipleObjectsEx now called with
finite timeout (100ms) in case of FP_WRITE and UDP socket. If timeout occurs
then pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket() tries to write empty packet goes to
WaitForMultipleObjectsEx again.
2) pgwin32_send(): add loop around WSASend and pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket().
The reason is: for overlapped socket, 'ok' result from
pgwin32_waitforsinglesocket() isn't guarantee that socket is still free,
it can become busy again and following WSASend call will fail with
WSAEWOULDBLOCK error.

the events would be fired at the wrong time, leading to bizarre behavior.
Per report from Merlin Moncure.
This is a simple patch that should solve the problem fully in the back

I introduced in 7.4.1 :-(. It's correct to allow unknown to be coerced to

exploitable as a security hole. Per report from Michael Fuhr.
Note: as fixed in HEAD, this changes a constant in the pg_stats view,
resulting in a change in the expected regression outputs. The back-branch

SysCacheGetAttr() on a tuple originally fetched from a different syscache
(hopefully on the same catalog) than the one specified in the call. It
doesn't seem useful or robust to try to prevent that from happening, so just
improve the function to cope instead. Per bug#2678 from Jeff Trout. The
specific example shown by Jeff is new in 8.1, but to be on the safe side
I'm backpatching 8.0 as well. We could patch 7.x similarly but I think
that's probably overkill, given the lack of evidence of old bugs of this ilk.

Buildfarm results from 'gazelle' show that there are indeed libedit

apparently been dropped entirely in other versions. Grumble.
Per Bob Friesenhahn's report, this file is not supplied by some versions
of libedit, and even when it is supplied it seems to be just a link to
readline.h, so we don't need to include it anyway.
Also, ensure that we won't try to use a too-old version of Bison.

glibc's qsort, we can safely put CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into the tuplesort
comparators, as was requested a couple months ago. Also, get rid of
non-reentrancy and an extra level of function call in tuplesort.c by
providing a variant qsort_arg() API that passes an extra void * argument
through to the comparison routine. (We might want to use that in other
places too, I didn't look yet.)

present; intervening positions are filled with nulls. This behavior
is required by SQL99 but was not implementable before 8.2 due to lack
of support for nulls in arrays. I have only made it work for the
one-dimensional case, which is all that SQL99 requires. It seems quite
complex to get it right in higher dimensions, and since we never allowed
extension at all in higher dimensions, I think that must count as a
future feature addition not a bug fix.

for IS NOT NULL. Per report from Teodor.
I desisted from changing the behavior for arrays, since on closer inspection
it's not clear that there's any support for that in the SQL spec. This

tweak the handling of 'append relations' a bit --- formerly we looked up

the table being analyzed. This prevents two ANALYZEs from running
concurrently on the same table and possibly suffering concurrent-update
failures while trying to store their results into pg_statistic. The
downside is that a database-wide ANALYZE executed within a transaction
block will hold ShareUpdateExclusiveLock on many tables simultaneously,
which could lead to concurrency issues or even deadlock against another
such ANALYZE. However, this seems a corner case of less importance
than getting unexpected errors from a foreground ANALYZE when autovacuum
elects to analyze the same table concurrently. Per discussion.

DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place'
LOG: statement: execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2'
and log_min_duration_statement = 0 results in
LOG: duration: 2.431 ms parse <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
LOG: duration: 2.335 ms bind <unnamed> to <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1

(This example demonstrates the folly of ignoring parse/bind steps for duration
logging purposes, BTW.)
Along the way, create a less ad-hoc mechanism for determining which commands
are logged by log_statement = mod and log_statement = ddl. The former coding
was actually missing quite a few things that look like ddl to me, and it
did not handle EXECUTE or extended query protocol correctly at all.
This commit does not do anything about the question of whether log_duration

can create or modify rules for the table. Do setRuleCheckAsUser() while

RETURNING play nice with views/rules. To wit, have the rule rewriter
rewrite any RETURNING clause found in a rule to produce what the rule's
triggering query asked for in its RETURNING clause, in particular drop
the RETURNING clause if no RETURNING in the triggering query. This
leaves the responsibility for knowing how to produce the view's output
columns on the rule author, without requiring any fundamental changes
in rule semantics such as adding new rule event types would do. The
initial implementation constrains things to ensure that there is
exactly one, unconditionally invoked RETURNING clause among the rules
for an event --- later we might be able to relax that, but for a post
feature freeze fix it seems better to minimize how much invention we do.

by abandoning the idea that it should say SERIAL in the dump. Instead,
dump serial sequences and column defaults just like regular ones.
Add a new backend command ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY to let pg_dump recreate
the sequence-to-column dependency that was formerly created "behind the
scenes" by SERIAL. This restores SERIAL to being truly "just a macro"
consisting of component operations that can be stated explicitly in SQL.
Furthermore, the new command allows sequence ownership to be reassigned,
so that old mistakes can be cleaned up.
Also, downgrade the OWNED-BY dependency from INTERNAL to AUTO, since there
is no longer any very compelling argument why the sequence couldn't be
dropped while keeping the column. (This forces initdb, to be sure the
right kinds of dependencies are in there.)
Along the way, add checks to prevent ALTER OWNER or SET SCHEMA on an
owned sequence; you can now only do this indirectly by changing the

each object to be deleted, instead of the previous hack that just skipped
INTERNAL dependencies, which didn't really work. Per report from Tom Lane.
To do this, introduce a new performMultipleDeletions entry point in
dependency.c to delete multiple objects at once. The dependency code then has
the responsability of tracking INTERNAL and AUTO dependencies as needed.
Along the way, change ObjectAddresses so that we can allocate an ObjectAddress
list from outside dependency.c and not have to export the internal
representation.

than N seconds apart. This allows a simple, if not very high performance,
means of guaranteeing that a PITR archive is no more than N seconds behind
real time. Also make pg_current_xlog_location return the WAL Write pointer,
add pg_current_xlog_insert_location to return the Insert pointer, and fix
pg_xlogfile_name_offset to return its results as a two-element record instead
of a smashed-together string, as per recent discussion.

mergejoin possibility where the inner rel was less well sorted than
the outer (ie, it matches some but not all of the merge clauses that
can work with the outer), if the inner path in question is also the
overall cheapest path for its rel. This is an old bug, but I'm not
sure it's worth back-patching, because it's such a corner case.
Noted while investigating a test case from Peter Hardman.
subquery's pathkey is a RelabelType applied to something that appears
in the subquery's output; for example where the subquery returns a
varchar Var and the sort order is shown as that Var coerced to text.
This comes up because varchar doesn't have its own sort operator.

former obstacle to giving OUT parameters to built-in functions.
such as debugging and performance measurement. This consists of two features:
a table of "rendezvous variables" that allows separately-loaded shared
libraries to communicate, and a new GUC setting "local_preload_libraries"
that allows libraries to be loaded into specific sessions without explicit
cooperation from the client application. To make local_preload_libraries
as flexible as possible, we do not restrict its use to superusers; instead,
it is restricted to load only libraries stored in $libdir/plugins/. The
existing LOAD command has also been modified to allow non-superusers to
LOAD libraries stored in this directory.
This patch also renames the existing GUC variable preload_libraries to
shared_preload_libraries (after a suggestion by Simon Riggs) and does some
code refactoring in dfmgr.c to improve clarity.

requiring read permissions. Up till now there was no possible case
in which the RTEs wouldn't already have ACL_SELECT set ... but now that
you can say something like 'INSERT INTO foo ... RETURNING *' this is
an essential step. With this commit, a RETURNING clause adds the
requirement for SELECT permissions on the target table if and only if
the clause actually reads the value of at least one target-table column.
cannot assume that there's exactly one Query in the Portal, as we can for
ONE_SELECT mode, because non-SELECT queries might have extra queries added
during rule rewrites. Fix things up so that we'll use ONE_RETURNING mode
when a Portal contains one primary (canSetTag) query and that query has
a RETURNING list. This appears to be a second showstopper reason for running
the Portal to completion before we start to hand anything back --- we want
to be sure that the rule-added queries get run too.
_SPI_execute_plan's return code should reflect the type of the query
that is marked canSetTag, not necessarily the last one in the list.
This is arguably a bug fix, but I'm hesitant to back-patch it because
it's the sort of subtle change that might break someone's code, and it's
best not to do that kind of thing in point releases.
a Coverity warning, these are risky since the hashtable isn't necessarily

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

this exercises memory allocation issues that might not appear when

effects of changing datestyle to check that assign hooks are called

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.

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.

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.
