pg_database.datfrozenxid and pg_database.datminmxid were not preserved

these databases.
Backpatch through 9.0
We already had one go at this issue in commit d73b7f973d, but we
failed to notice that buildACLCommands also leaked several PQExpBuffers
along with a simply malloc'd string. This time let's try to make the
fix a bit more future-proof by eliminating the separate exit path.
It's still not exactly critical because pg_dump will curl up and die on
failure; but since the amount of the potential leak is now several KB,
it seems worth back-patching as far as 9.2 where the previous fix landed.
Per Coverity, which evidently is smarter than clang's static analyzer.
Back in 2003 we had a discussion about how to decide which casts to dump.
At the time pg_dump really only considered an object's containing schema
to decide what to dump (ie, dump whatever's not in pg_catalog), and so
we chose a complicated idea involving whether the underlying types were to
be dumped (cf commit a6790ce857). But users
are allowed to create casts between built-in types, and we failed to dump
such casts. Let's get rid of that heuristic, which has accreted even more
ugliness since then, in favor of just looking at the cast's OID to decide
if it's a built-in cast or not.
In passing, also fix some really ancient code that supposed that it had to
manufacture a dependency for the cast on its cast function; that's only
true when dumping from a pre-7.3 server. This just resulted in some wasted
cycles and duplicate dependency-list entries with newer servers, but we
might as well improve it.
Per gripes from a number of people, most recently Greg Sabino Mullane.
Back-patch to all supported branches.
Since 9.3, when the --jobs option was introduced, using it together
with the --serializable-deferrable option generated multiple
errors. We can get correct behavior by allowing the connection
which acquires the snapshot to use SERIALIZABLE, READ ONLY,
DEFERRABLE and pass that to the workers running the other
connections using REPEATABLE READ, READ ONLY. This is a bit of a
kluge since the SERIALIZABLE behavior is achieved by running some
of the participating connections at a different isolation level,
but it is a simple and safe change, suitable for back-patching.
This will be followed by a proposal for a more invasive fix with
some slight behavioral changes on just the master branch, based on
suggestions from Andres Freund, but the kluge will be applied to
master until something is agreed along those lines.
Back-patched to 9.3, where the --jobs option was added.
Based on report from Alexander Korotkov
pg_dump.c:dumDatabase() called ArchiveEntry() with the results of a a

Backpatch to 9.2 where security labels for shared objects where
introduced.
This never worked, I think. Per report from Marc Munro.
In passing, fix funny spacing in the COMMENT ON command as a result of
excess space in the "label" string.
As every error in mark_file_as_archived() will lead to a failure of
pg_basebackup the FD leak couldn't ever lead to a real problem. It
seems better to fix the leak anyway though, rather than silence
Coverity, as the usage of the function might get extended or copied at
some point in the future.
Pointed out by Coverity.
Backpatch to 9.2, like the relevant part of the previous patch.
WAL (and timeline history) files created by pg_basebackup did not
maintain the new base backup's archive status. That's currently not a
problem if the new node is used as a standby - but if that node is
promoted all still existing files can get archived again. With a high
wal_keep_segment settings that can happen a significant time later -
which is quite confusing.
Change both the backend (for the -x/-X fetch case) and pg_basebackup
(for -X stream) itself to always mark WAL/timeline files included in
the base backup as .done. That's in line with walreceiver.c doing so.
The verbosity of the pg_basebackup changes show pretty clearly that it
needs some refactoring, but that'd result in not be backpatchable
changes.
Backpatch to 9.1 where pg_basebackup was introduced.

For simple boolean variables such as ON_ERROR_STOP, psql has for a long
time recognized variant spellings of "on" and "off" (such as "1"/"0"),
and it also made a point of warning you if you'd misspelled the setting.
But these conveniences did not exist for other keyword-valued variables.
In particular, though ECHO_HIDDEN and ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK include "on" and
"off" as possible values, none of the alternative spellings for those were
recognized; and to make matters worse the code would just silently assume
"on" was meant for any unrecognized spelling. Several people have reported
getting bitten by this, so let's fix it. In detail, this patch:
* Allows all spellings recognized by ParseVariableBool() for ECHO_HIDDEN
and ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK.
* Reports a warning for unrecognized values for COMP_KEYWORD_CASE, ECHO,
ECHO_HIDDEN, HISTCONTROL, ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK, and VERBOSITY.
* Recognizes all values for all these variables case-insensitively;
previously there was a mishmash of case-sensitive and case-insensitive
behaviors.
Back-patch to all supported branches. There is a small risk of breaking
existing scripts that were accidentally failing to malfunction; but the
consensus is that the chance of detecting real problems and preventing
future mistakes outweighs this.

Since this is not something that a user should change,
pg_config_manual.h was an inappropriate place for it.
In initdb.c, remove the use of the macro, because utils/guc.h can't be

configuration file names there, so this isn't a disaster.

Previously \watch always ignored the user's \pset null setting.
\pset null setting should be ignored for \d and similar queries.
For those, the code can reasonably have an opinion about what
the presentation should be like, since it knows what SQL query
it's issuing. This argument surely doesn't apply to \watch,
so this commit makes \watch use the user's \pset null setting.
Back-patch to 9.3 where \watch was added.
In pg_receivexlog, in order to check whether the current WAL file is

When pg_receivexlog --slot is connecting to the server, at the shutdown
of the server, walsender keeps waiting for the last WAL record to be
replicated and flushed in pg_receivexlog. But previously pg_receivexlog
issued sync command only when WAL file was switched. So there was
the case where the last WAL was never flushed and walsender had to
keep waiting infinitely. This caused the server shutdown to get stuck.
pg_recvlogical handles this problem by calling fsync() when it receives
the request of immediate reply from the server. That is, at shutdown,
walsender sends the request, pg_recvlogical receives it, flushes the last
WAL record, and sends the flush location back to the server. Since
walsender can see that the last WAL record is successfully flushed, it can
exit cleanly.
This commit introduces the same logic as pg_recvlogical has,
to pg_receivexlog.
Back-patch to 9.4 where pg_receivexlog was changed so that it can use
the replication slot.

Bug report by Furuya Osamu.
pg_dump/parallel.c was using realloc() directly with no error check.
While the odds of an actual failure here seem pretty low, Coverity
complains about it, so fix by using pg_realloc() instead.
While looking for other instances, I noticed a couple of places in
psql that hadn't gotten the memo about the availability of pg_realloc.
These aren't bugs, since they did have error checks, but verbosely
inconsistent code is not a good thing.
Back-patch as far as 9.3. 9.2 did not have pg_dump/parallel.c, nor
did it have pg_realloc available in all frontend code.
630cd14426 added initdb --sync-only, for use by pg_upgrade, by just

had absolutely no reason to deal with tablespaces.
Fix --sync-only by additionally explicitly syncing each of the
tablespaces.

Fix breakage induced by commits d8d3d2a4f3
and 463f2625a5: pg_dumpall has crashed when
attempting to dump from pre-8.1 servers since then, due to faulty
construction of the query used for dumping roles from older servers.
The query was erroneous as of the earlier commit, but it wasn't exposed
unless you tried to use --binary-upgrade, which you presumably wouldn't
with a pre-8.1 server. However commit 463f2625a made it fail always.
In HEAD, also fix additional breakage induced in the same query by
commit 491c029dbc, which evidently wasn't
tested against pre-8.1 servers either.
The bug is only latent in 9.1 because 463f2625a hadn't landed yet, but
it seems best to back-patch all branches containing the faulty query.

Work around accidental test failures because the working directory path
is too long by creating a temporary directory in the (hopefully shorter)
system location, symlinking that to the working directory, and creating
the tablespaces using the shorter path.
The malloc request was 1 byte too small for the worst-case output.
This seems relatively unlikely to cause any problems in practice,
as the worst case only occurs if the input string contains no
characters other than single-quote or newline, and even then
malloc alignment padding would probably save the day. But it's
definitely a bug.

Revert the output of the individual backslash commands that change print
settings back to the 9.3 way (not showing the command name in
parentheses). Implement \pset without arguments separately, showing all
settings with values in a table form.
This reverts nearly all of commit 28f6cab61a
in favor of just using the typrelid we already have in pg_dump's TypeInfo
struct for the composite type. As coded, it'd crash if the composite type
had no attributes, since then the query would return no rows.
Back-patch to all supported versions. It seems to not really be a problem
in 9.0 because that version rejects the syntax "create type t as ()", but
we might as well keep the logic similar in all affected branches.
Report and fix by Rushabh Lathia.
List the actions first, as they are the most important options. Group
the other options more sensibly, consistent with the man page. Correct
a few typographical errors, clarify some things.
Also update the pg_receivexlog --help output to make it a bit more
consistent with that of pg_recvlogical.
A future patch (9.5 only) adds slot management to pg_receivexlog. The
verbs create/drop don't seem descriptive enough there. It seems better
to rename pg_recvlogical's commands now, in beta, than live with the
inconsistency forever.
The old form (e.g. --drop) will still be accepted by virtue of most
getopt_long() options accepting abbreviations for long commands.

Unfortunately I mistakenly split the commit wrongly into two parts,
leaving one part of renaming StreamLog to StreamLogicalLog in the
second commit. Which isn't backported to 9.4...
Fix it in 9.4 only, as master already is 'fixed' by the subsequent
commit.
Noticed by Jan Wieck and the buildfarm.
Several comments still referred to 'initiating', 'freeing', 'stopping'
replication slots. These were terms used during different phases of
the development of logical decoding, but are no long accurate.
Also rename StreamLog() to StreamLogicalLog() and add 'void' to the
prototype.

Without this fix, parallel restore of a schema-only dump can deadlock,

In psql, expanded mode was not being displayed correctly when using
the normal ascii or unicode linestyles and border set to '3'. Now,
per the documentation, border '3' is really only sensible for HTML
and LaTeX formats, however, that's no excuse for ascii/unicode to
break in that case, and provisions had been made for psql to cleanly
handle this case (and it did, in non-expanded mode).
This was broken when ascii/unicode was initially added a good five
years ago because print_aligned_vertical_line wasn't passed in the
border setting being used by print_aligned_vertical but instead was
given the whole printTableContent. There really isn't a good reason
for vertical_line to have the entire printTableContent structure, so
just pass in the printTextFormat and border setting (similar to how
this is handled in horizontal_line).

When running vacuumdb --analyze-in-stages --all, it needs to run the
first stage across all databases before the second one, instead of
running all stages in a database before processing the next one.
Also respect the --quiet option with --analyze-in-stages.
psql's \s (print command history) doesn't work at all with recent libedit
versions when printing to the terminal, because libedit tries to do an
fchmod() on the target file which will fail if the target is /dev/tty.
(We'd already noted this in the context of the target being /dev/null.)
Even before that, it didn't work pleasantly, because libedit likes to
encode the command history file (to ensure successful reloading), which
renders it nigh unreadable, not to mention significantly different-looking
depending on exactly which libedit version you have. So let's forget using
write_history() for this purpose, and instead print the data ourselves,
using logic similar to that used to iterate over the history for newline
encoding/decoding purposes.
While we're at it, insert the ability to use the pager when \s is printing
to the terminal. This has been an acknowledged shortcoming of \s for many
years, so while you could argue it's not exactly a back-patchable bug fix
it still seems like a good improvement. Anyone who's seriously annoyed
at this can use "\s /dev/tty" or local equivalent to get the old behavior.
Experimentation with this showed that the history iteration logic was
actually rather broken when used with libedit. It turns out that with
libedit you have to use previous_history() not next_history() to advance
to more recent history entries. The easiest and most robust fix for this
seems to be to make a run-time test to verify which function to call.
We had not noticed this because libedit doesn't really need the newline
encoding logic: its own encoding ensures that command entries containing
newlines are reloaded correctly (unlike libreadline). So the effective
behavior with recent libedits was that only the oldest history entry got
newline-encoded or newline-decoded. However, because of yet other bugs in
history_set_pos(), some old versions of libedit allowed the existing loop
logic to reach entries besides the oldest, which means there may be libedit
~/.psql_history files out there containing encoded newlines in more than
just the oldest entry. To ensure we can reload such files, it seems
appropriate to back-patch this fix, even though that will result in some
incompatibility with older psql versions (ie, multiline history entries
written by a psql with this fix will look corrupted to a psql without it,
if its libedit is reasonably up to date).
