Peter Eisentraut b3617cdfbb Move portal pinning from PL/pgSQL to SPI
PL/pgSQL "pins" internally generated (unnamed) portals so that user code
cannot close them by guessing their names.  This logic is also useful in
other languages and really for any code.  So move that logic into SPI.
An unnamed portal obtained through SPI_cursor_open() and related
functions is now automatically pinned, and SPI_cursor_close()
automatically unpins a portal that is pinned.

In the core distribution, this affects PL/Perl and PL/Python, preventing
users from manually closing cursors created by spi_query and
plpy.cursor, respectively.  (PL/Tcl does not currently offer any cursor
functionality.)

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
