are individually labeled, rather than just grouped under an "InitPlan"
or "SubPlan" heading. This in turn makes it possible for decompilation of
a subplan reference to usefully identify which subplan it's referencing.
I also made InitPlans identify which parameter symbol(s) they compute,
so that references to those parameters elsewhere in the plan tree can
be connected to the initplan that will be executed. Per a gripe from
Robert Haas about EXPLAIN output of a WITH query being inadequate,
plus some longstanding pet peeves of my own.

of adding optional namespace and action fields to DefElem. Having three
node types that do essentially the same thing bloats the code and leads
to errors of confusion, such as in yesterday's bug report from Khee Chin.

when we are waiting for old snapshots to go away during a concurrent index
build. In particular, this rule lets us avoid waiting for
idle-in-transaction sessions.
This logic could be improved further if we had some way to wake up when
the session we are currently waiting for goes idle-in-transaction. However
that would be a significantly more complex/invasive patch, so it'll have to
wait for some other day.

temp relations; this is no more expensive than before, now that we have
pg_class.relistemp. Insert tests into bufmgr.c to prevent attempting
to fetch pages from nonlocal temp relations. This provides a low-level
defense against bugs-of-omission allowing temp pages to be loaded into shared
buffers, as in the contrib/pgstattuple problem reported by Stuart Bishop.
While at it, tweak a bunch of places to use new relcache tests (instead of
expensive probes into pg_namespace) to detect local or nonlocal temp tables.

multiple index entries in a holding area before adding them to the main index
structure. This helps because bulk insert is (usually) significantly faster
than retail insert for GIN.
This patch also removes GIN support for amgettuple-style index scans. The
API defined for amgettuple is difficult to support with fastupdate, and
the previously committed partial-match feature didn't really work with
it either. We might eventually figure a way to put back amgettuple
support, but it won't happen for 8.4.
catversion bumped because of change in GIN's pg_am entry, and because
the format of GIN indexes changed on-disk (there's a metapage now,
and possibly a pending list).

composite, enum and array types, as those are surely not binary-compatible
with anything else because of the embedded OIDs.

function for the specified source and destination encodings. We do that by
calling the function with an empty string. If it can't perform the requested
conversion, it will throw an error.

wrappers (similar to procedural languages). This way we don't need to retain
the nearly empty libraries, and we are more free in how to implement the
wrapper API in the future.

TABLE: if the command is executed by someone other than the table owner (eg,
a superuser) and the table has a toast table, the toast table's pg_type row
ends up with the wrong typowner, ie, the command issuer not the table owner.
This is quite harmless for most purposes, since no interesting permissions
checks consult the pg_type row. However, it could lead to unexpected failures
if one later tries to drop the role that issued the command (in 8.1 or 8.2),
or strange warnings from pg_dump afterwards (in 8.3 and up, which will allow
the DROP ROLE because we don't create a "redundant" owner dependency for table
rowtypes). Problem identified by Cott Lang.
Back-patch to 8.1. The problem is actually far older --- the CLUSTER variant
can be demonstrated in 7.0 --- but it's mostly cosmetic before 8.1 because we
didn't track ownership dependencies before 8.1. Also, fixing it before 8.1
would require changing the call signature of heap_create_with_catalog(), which
seems to carry a nontrivial risk of breaking add-on modules.

any LISTEN command. This is more important than it used to be because
DISCARD ALL invokes UNLISTEN. Connection-pooled applications making heavy
use of DISCARD ALL were seeing significant contention for pg_listener,
as reported by Matteo Beccati. It seems unlikely that clients using LISTEN
would use pooled connections, so this simple tweak seems sufficient,
especially since the pg_listener implementation is slated to go away soon
anyway.
Back-patch to 8.3, where DISCARD ALL was introduced.

get rid of the OID column. This eliminates the problem discovered by Heikki
back in November that 8.4's suppression of "unnecessary" junk filtering in
INSERT/SELECT could lead to an Assert failure, or storing of oids into a table
that shouldn't have them if Asserts are off. While that particular problem
could have been solved in other ways, it seems likely to be just a forerunner
of things to come if we continue to allow tables to contain rows that disagree
with the pg_class.relhasoids setting. It's better to make this operation slow
than to sacrifice performance or risk bugs in more common code paths.
Also, add ALTER TABLE SET WITH OIDS to rewrite the table to add oids.
This was a bit more controversial, but in view of the very small amount of
extra code needed given the current ALTER TABLE infrastructure, it seems best
to eliminate the asymmetry in features.

has_column_privilege and has_any_column_privilege SQL functions; fix the
information_schema views that are supposed to pay attention to column
privileges; adjust pg_stats to show stats for any column you have select
privilege on; and fix COPY to allow copying a subset of columns if the user
has suitable per-column privileges for all the columns.
To improve efficiency of some of the information_schema views, extend the
has_xxx_privilege functions to allow inquiring about the OR of a set of
privileges in just one call. This is just exposing capability that already
existed in the underlying aclcheck routines.
In passing, make the information_schema views report the owner's own
privileges as being grantable, since Postgres assumes this even when the grant
option bit is not set in the ACL. This is a longstanding oversight.
Also, make the new has_xxx_privilege functions for foreign data objects follow
the same coding conventions used by the older ones.

qualifier, and add support for this in pg_dump.
This allows TOAST tables to have user-defined fillfactor, and will also
enable us to move the autovacuum parameters to reloptions without taking
away the possibility of setting values for TOAST tables.

It's missing in older versions too, but it doesn't seem worth
back-porting. All negative are just harmlessly treated as "no limit", and
tightening the check might even brake an application that relies on it.

pages were marked as clean as well. The idea is to avoid defeating OS
readahead by skipping a page here and there, and also makes it less likely
that we miss an opportunity to advance relfrozenxid, for the sake of only
a few skipped pages.

be used instead of the normal exclusive lock, and make WAL redo functions
responsible for calling RestoreBkpBlocks(). They know better what kind of a
lock they need.
At the moment, this just moves things around with no functional change, but
makes the hot standby patch that's under review cleaner.

CREATE/ALTER/DROP USER MAPPING are now allowed either by the server owner or
by a user with USAGE privileges for his own user name. This is more or less
what the SQL standard wants anyway (plus "implementation-defined")
Hide information_schema.user_mapping_options.option_value, unless the current
user is the one associated with the user mapping, or is the server owner and
the mapping is for PUBLIC, or is a superuser. This is to protect passwords.
Also, fix a bug in information_schema._pg_foreign_servers, which hid servers
using wrappers where the current user did not have privileges on the wrapper.
The correct behavior is to hide servers where the current user has no
privileges on the server.

that are set up for execution with ExecPrepareExpr rather than going through
the full planner process. By introducing an explicit notion of "expression
planning", this patch also lays a bit of groundwork for maybe someday
allowing sub-selects in standalone expressions.

If the table was smaller than REL_TRUNCATE_FRACTION (= 16) pages, we always
tried to acquire AccessExclusiveLock on it even if there was no empty pages
at the end.

practically free given prior 8.4 changes in plancache and portal management,
and it makes it a lot easier for ExecutorStart/Run/End hooks to get at the

so that user-defined window functions are possible. For the moment you'll
have to write them in C, for lack of any interface to the WindowObject API
in the available PLs, but it's better than no support at all.
There was some debate about the best syntax for this. I ended up choosing
the "it's an attribute" position --- the other approach will inevitably be
more work, and the likely market for user-defined window functions is
probably too small to justify it.

because transformGenericOptions returns an array, not an Oid. I'm not
sure if this fixes the crashes seen in buildfarm, but it should be fixed
anyway.

This doesn't do any remote or external things yet, but it gives modules
like plproxy and dblink a standardized and future-proof system for
managing their connection information.

skipped. We could update relpages anyway, but it seems better to only
update it together with reltuples, because we use the reltuples/relpages
ratio in the planner. Also don't update n_live_tuples in pgstat.
ANALYZE in VACUUM ANALYZE now needs to update pg_class, if the
VACUUM-phase didn't do so. Added some boolean-passing to let analyze_rel
know if it should update pg_class or not.
I also moved the relcache invalidation (to update rd_targblock) from
vac_update_relstats to where RelationTruncate is called, because
vac_update_relstats is not called for partial vacuums anymore. It's more
obvious to send the invalidation close to the truncation that requires it.

more detail. This seems to help with localizing the problem.

and its maximum value from 1000 to 10000. ALTER TABLE SET STATISTICS

in 8.3, too, but I'm not back-patching this change since it would break any
extension modules that might be calling that function.

when they are invoked by the parser. We had been setting up a snapshot at
plan time but really it needs to be done earlier, before parse analysis.
Per report from Dmitry Koterov.
Also fix two related problems discovered while poking at this one:
exec_bind_message called datatype input functions without establishing a
snapshot, and SET CONSTRAINTS IMMEDIATE could call trigger functions without
establishing a snapshot.
Backpatch to 8.2. The underlying problem goes much further back, but it is
masked in 8.1 and before because we didn't attempt to invoke domain check
constraints within datatype input. It would only be exposed if a C-language
datatype input function used the snapshot; which evidently none do, or we'd
have heard complaints sooner. Since this code has changed a lot over time,
a back-patch is hardly risk-free, and so I'm disinclined to patch further
than absolutely necessary.

replication patch needs a signal, but we've already used SIGUSR1 and
SIGUSR2 in normal backends. This patch allows reusing SIGUSR1 for that,
and for other purposes too if the need arises.
