inheritance parent tables are compared using equal(), instead of doing
strcmp() on the nodeToString representation. The old implementation was
always a tad cheesy, and it finally fails completely as of 8.4, now that the
node tree might contain syntax location information. equal() knows it's
supposed to ignore those fields, but strcmp() hardly can. Per recent
report from Scott Ribe.

the privileges that will be applied to subsequently-created objects.
Such adjustments are always per owning role, and can be restricted to objects
created in particular schemas too. A notable benefit is that users can
override the traditional default privilege settings, eg, the PUBLIC EXECUTE
privilege traditionally granted by default for functions.

The old coding was using a regular snapshot, referenced elsewhere, that was
subject to having its command counter updated. Fix by creating a private copy
of the snapshot exclusively for the cursor.
Backpatch to 8.4, which is when the bug was introduced during the snapshot
management rewrite.

hand-assigned rowtype OIDs, even when they are not "bootstrapped" catalogs
that have handmade type rows in pg_type.h. Give pg_database such an OID.
Restore the availability of C macros for the rowtype OIDs of the bootstrapped
catalogs. (These macros are now in the individual catalogs' .h files,
though, not in pg_type.h.)
This commit doesn't do anything especially useful by itself, but it's
necessary infrastructure for reverting some ill-considered changes in
relcache.c.

to create a function for it.
Procedural languages now have an additional entry point, namely a function
to execute an inline code block. This seemed a better design than trying
to hide the transient-ness of the code from the PL. As of this patch, only
plpgsql has an inline handler, but probably people will soon write handlers
for the other standard PLs.
In passing, remove the long-dead LANCOMPILER option of CREATE LANGUAGE.

This is intentionally similar to the recently revised syntax for EXPLAIN
options, ie, (name value, ...). The old syntax is still supported for
backwards compatibility, but we intend that any options added in future
will be provided only in the new syntax.

If Apple doesn't fix that reasonably soon, we'll have to consider
back-patching a workaround; but for now, just hack it in HEAD so that
we can get buildfarm reports on HEAD from OS X machines.

functions.
This extends the previous patch that forbade SETting these variables inside
security-definer functions. RESET is equally a security hole, since it
would allow regaining privileges of the caller; furthermore it can trigger
Assert failures and perhaps other internal errors, since the code is not
expecting these variables to change in such contexts. The previous patch
did not cover this case because assign hooks don't really have enough
information, so move the responsibility for preventing this into guc.c.

Recent commits have removed the various uses it was supporting. It was a
performance bottleneck, according to bug report #4919 by Lauris Ulmanis; seems
it slowed down user creation after a billion users.

XID) in checkpoint records. This eliminates the need to recompute the value
from scratch during database startup, which is one of the two remaining
reasons for the flatfile code to exist. It should also simplify life for
hot-standby operation.
To avoid bloating the checkpoint records unreasonably, I switched from
tracking the oldest database by name to tracking it by OID. This turns
out to save cycles in general (everywhere but the warning-generating
paths, which we hardly care about) and also helps us deal with the case
that the oldest database got dropped instead of being vacuumed. The prior
coding might go for a long time without updating the wrap limit in that case,
which is bad because it might result in a lot of useless autovacuum activity.

"all tuples visible" flag in heap page headers. The flag update *must*
be applied before calling XLogInsert, but heap_update and the tuple
moving routines in VACUUM FULL were ignoring this rule. A crash and
replay could therefore leave the flag incorrectly set, causing rows
to appear visible in seqscans when they should not be. This might explain
recent reports of data corruption from Jeff Ross and others.
In passing, do a bit of editorialization on comments in visibilitymap.c.

or previously truncated in the current (sub)transaction. This is safe since
if the (sub)transaction later rolls back, we'd just discard the rel's current
physical file anyway. This avoids unreasonable growth in the number of
transient files when a relation is repeatedly truncated. Per a performance
gripe a couple weeks ago from Todd Cook.

to access a Relation entry it had just closed. I happened to be testing with
CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS, which made this a guaranteed core dump (at least on
machines where sprintf %s isn't forgiving of a NULL pointer). It's probably
quite unlikely that it would fail in the field, but a bug is a bug. Fix by
moving the relation_close call down past the logging action.

There are probably still some adjustments to be made in the details

Both hex format and the traditional "escape" format are automatically
handled on input. The output format is selected by the new GUC variable
bytea_output.
As committed, bytea_output defaults to HEX, which is an *incompatible
change*. We will keep it this way for awhile for testing purposes, but
should consider whether to switch to the more backwards-compatible
default of ESCAPE before 8.5 is released.

This patch gets us out from under the Unix limitation of two user-defined
signal types. We already had done something similar for signals directed to
the postmaster process; this adds multiplexing for signals directed to
backends and auxiliary processes (so long as they're connected to shared
memory).
As proof of concept, replace the former usage of SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
for backends with use of the multiplexing mechanism. There are still some
hard-wired definitions of SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 for other process types,
but getting rid of those doesn't seem interesting at the moment.

This was foreseen to be a good idea long ago, but nobody had got round
to doing it. The recent patch for deferred unique constraints made
transformConstraintAttrs() ugly enough that I decided it was time.
This change will also greatly simplify parsing of deferred CHECK constraints,
if anyone ever gets around to implementing that.
While at it, add a location field to Constraint, and use that to provide
an error cursor for some of the constraint-related error messages.

The current implementation fires an AFTER ROW trigger for each tuple that
looks like it might be non-unique according to the index contents at the
time of insertion. This works well as long as there aren't many conflicts,
but won't scale to massive unique-key reassignments. Improving that case
is a TODO item.

conindid is the index supporting a constraint. We can use this not only for
unique/primary-key constraints, but also foreign-key constraints, which
depend on the unique index that constrains the referenced columns.
tgconstrindid is just copied from the constraint's conindid field, or is
zero for triggers not associated with constraints.
This is mainly intended as infrastructure for upcoming patches, but it has
some virtue in itself, since it exposes a relationship that you formerly
had to grovel in pg_depend to determine. I simplified one information_schema
view accordingly. (There is a pg_dump query that could also use conindid,
but I left it alone because it wasn't clear it'd get any faster.)

The original syntax made it difficult to add options without making them
into reserved words. This change parenthesizes the options to avoid that
problem, and makes provision for an explicit (and perhaps non-Boolean)
value for each option. The original syntax is still supported, but only
for the two original options ANALYZE and VERBOSE.
As a test case, add a COSTS option that can suppress the planner cost
estimates. This may be useful for including EXPLAIN output in the regression
tests, which are otherwise unable to cope with cross-platform variations in
cost estimates.

This is believed to not change the output at all, with one known exception:
"Subquery Scan foo" becomes "Subquery Scan on foo". (We can fix that if
anyone complains, but it would be a wart, because the old code was clearly
inconsistent.) The main intention is to remove duplicate coding and
provide a cleaner base for subsequent EXPLAIN patching.

It appears that, for no particularly good reason, pg_listener.h deviates from
the usual convention for declaring attribute number constants. Normally, it's
#define Anum_{catalog-name}_{column-name} {attribute-number}
pg_listener.h, however substitutes a different string that is similar, but not
the same as, the column name. This change fixes that.

This alters various incidental uses of C++ key words to use other similar
identifiers, so that a C++ compiler won't choke outright. You still
(probably) need extern "C" { }; around the inclusion of backend headers.
based on a patch by Kurt Harriman <harriman@acm.org>
Also add a script cpluspluscheck to check for C++ compatibility in the
future. As of right now, this passes without error for me.

distinction between the external API (parser.h) and declarations that only
need to be visible within the raw parser code (gramparse.h, which now is only
included by parser.c, gram.y, scan.l, and keywords.c). This is in preparation
for the upcoming change to a reentrant lexer, which will require referencing
YYSTYPE in the declarations of base_yylex and filtered_base_yylex, hence
gram.h will have to be included by gramparse.h. We don't want any more files
than absolutely necessary to depend on gram.h, so some cleanup is called for.

behavior in cases where we don't know the heap tuple count accurately; in
particular partial vacuum, but this also makes the API a bit more useful
for ANALYZE. This patch adds "estimated_count" flags to both structs so
that an approximate count can be flagged as such, and adjusts the logic
so that approximate counts are not used for updating pg_class.reltuples.
This fixes my previous complaint that VACUUM was putting ridiculous values
into pg_class.reltuples for indexes. The actual impact of that bug is
limited, because the planner only pays attention to reltuples for an index
if the index is partial; which probably explains why beta testers hadn't
noticed a degradation in plan quality from it. But it needs to be fixed.
The whole thing is a bit messy and should be redesigned in future, because
reltuples now has the potential to drift quite far away from reality when
a long period elapses with no non-partial vacuums. But this is as good as
it's going to get for 8.4.

there's no analyzable attributes or indexes. We also used to report 0 live
and dead tuples for such tables, which messed with autovacuum threshold
calculations.
This fixes bug #4812 reported by George Su. Backpatch back to 8.1.

errors when tables are concurrently dropped. To do this we must take lock
on each relation before we check its privileges. The old code was trying
to do that the other way around, which is a bit pointless when there are lots
of other commands that lock relations before checking privileges. I did keep
it checking each relation's privilege before locking the next relation, which
is a detail that ALTER TABLE isn't too picky about.

ability to lock relations as they scan pg_inherits, and to ignore any
relations that have disappeared by the time we get lock on them. This
makes uses of these functions safe against concurrent DROP operations
on child tables: we will effectively ignore any just-dropped child,
rather than possibly throwing an error as in recent bug report from
Thomas Johansson (and similar past complaints). The behavior should
not change otherwise, since the code was acquiring those same locks
anyway, just a little bit later.
An exception is LockTableCommand(), which is still behaving unsafely;
but that seems to require some more discussion before we change it.

find_inheritance_children() and find_all_inheritors(). I got annoyed that
these are buried inside the planner but mostly used elsewhere. So, create
a new file catalog/pg_inherits.c and put them there, along with a couple
of other functions that search pg_inherits.
The code that modifies pg_inherits is (still) in tablecmds.c --- it's
kind of entangled with unrelated code that modifies pg_depend and other
stuff, so pulling it out seemed like a bigger change than I wanted to make
right now. But this file provides a natural home for it if anyone ever
gets around to that.
This commit just moves code around; it doesn't change anything, except
I succumbed to the temptation to make a couple of trivial optimizations
in typeInheritsFrom().

a toast table to be built, even if the sum-of-column-widths calculation
indicates one isn't needed. This is needed by pg_migrator because if the
old table has a toast table, we have to migrate over the toast table since
it might contain some live data, even though subsequent column drops could
mean that no recently-added rows could require toasting.

must be used for the new database, except when copying from template0.
This is the same rule that we now enforce for locale settings, and it has
the same motivation: databases other than template0 might contain data that
would be invalid according to a different setting. This represents another
step in a continuing process of locking down ways in which encoding violations
could occur inside the backend. Per discussion of a few days ago.
In passing, fix pre-existing breakage of mbregress.sh, and fix up a couple
of ereport() calls in dbcommands.c that failed to specify sqlstate codes.
