Instead of a separate CRC on each backup block, include backup blocks
in their parent WAL record's CRC; this is important to ensure that the
backup block really goes with the WAL record, ie there was not a page
tear right at the start of the backup block. Implement a simple form
of compression of backup blocks: drop any run of zeroes starting at
pd_lower, so as not to store the unused 'hole' that commonly exists in
PG heap and index pages. Tweak PageRepairFragmentation and related
routines to ensure they keep the unused space zeroed, so that the above
compression method remains effective. All per recent discussions.
conventions of only allowing octal, like \045. Remove support for
\decimal, \0octal, and \0xhex which matches the strtol() function but
didn't make sense with backslashes.
These now return the same character:
test=> \set x '\54'
test=> \echo :x
,
test=> \set x '\054'
test=> \echo :x
,
THIS IS A BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY CHANGE.
scanner anyway) to avoid having any backup states. According to the
flex manual, this should speed things up, and indeed the backend scanner
is about a third faster according to some quick profiling checks.
I haven't tried to measure the speed change in psql, but it probably
is similar.
about adding an errant "TO" when we already have a TO. Since
TO cannot be a valid column name (we must quote it), we can
simply ignore the tab-completion if the previous word
was a "TO".

* Made DELETE into "DELETE FROM"
* Moved ANALZYE to the end of the list to ease EXPLAIN / VACUUM
conflicts
* Removed the ANALYZE xx semicolon completion: we don't do that anywhere
else
* Add DECLARE support
* Add parens for DROP AGGREGATE
* Add "CASCADE | RESTRICT" for DROP xx
* Make EXPLAIN <tab> a lot smarter
* GROUP "BY" and ORDER "BY"
* "ISOLATION" becomes "ISOLATION LEVEL"
* Fix error in which REVOKE xx ON yy was receiving "TO", now gets "FROM"
* Add GRANT/REVOKE xx ON yy TO/FROM choices: usernames, GROUP, PUBLIC
* PREPARE xx <tab> AS "SELECT | INSERT | UPDATE | DELETE"
* Add = at end of UPDATE xx SET yy
* Beef up VACUUM stuff
a warning when a variable is used as a format string for printf()
and similar functions (if the variable is derived from untrusted
data, it could include unexpected formatting sequences). This
emits too many warnings to be enabled by default, but it does
flag a few dubious constructs in the Postgres tree. This patch
fixes up the obvious variants: functions that are passed a variable
format string but no additional arguments.
Most of these are harmless (e.g. the ruleutils stuff), but there
is at least one actual bug here: if you create a trigger named
"%sfoo", pg_dump will read uninitialized memory and fail to dump
the trigger correctly.
to eliminate unnecessary deadlocks. This commit adds SELECT ... FOR SHARE
paralleling SELECT ... FOR UPDATE. The implementation uses a new SLRU
data structure (managed much like pg_subtrans) to represent multiple-
transaction-ID sets. When more than one transaction is holding a shared
lock on a particular row, we create a MultiXactId representing that set
of transactions and store its ID in the row's XMAX. This scheme allows
an effectively unlimited number of row locks, just as we did before,
while not costing any extra overhead except when a shared lock actually
has to be shared. Still TODO: use the regular lock manager to control
the grant order when multiple backends are waiting for a row lock.

logic operations during planning. Seems cleaner to create two new Path
node types, instead --- this avoids duplication of cost-estimation code.
Also, create an enable_bitmapscan GUC parameter to control use of bitmap
plans.
which induced bug #1597 in addition to having several other misbehaviors
(like labeling the dump with a completion time having nothing to do with
reality). Instead just print out the desired strings where RestoreArchive
was already emitting the 'PostgreSQL database dump' and
'PostgreSQL database dump complete' strings.
avoid encroaching on the 'user' range of OIDs by allowing automatic
OID assignment to use values below 16k until we reach normal operation.

however a lot of stuff will have different OIDs after your next initdb.
and PL languages during initdb. The default permissions for these objects
are the same as what we were assigning anyway, so there is no need to
expend space in the catalogs on them. The space cost is particularly
significant in pg_proc's indexes, which are bloated by about a factor of 2
by the full-table update, and can never really recover the space.

too. Add specialized min/max aggregates for bpchar, instead of depending
on text's min/max, because otherwise the possible use of bpchar indexes
cannot be recognized.

in UPDATE. We also now issue a NOTICE if a query has _any_ implicit
range table entries -- in the past, we would only warn about implicit
RTEs in SELECTs with at least one explicit RTE.
As a result of the warning change, 25 of the regression tests had to
be updated. I also took the opportunity to remove some bogus whitespace
differences between some of the float4 and float8 variants. I believe
I have correctly updated all the platform-specific variants, but let
me know if that's not the case.

FROM and TO (which is still pretty incomplete, but at least its the right
syntax).

for indexes and stops the irritating random or reverse ordering it
currently has.

in favor of looking at the flat file copy of pg_database during backend
startup. This should finally eliminate the various corner cases in which
backend startup fails unexpectedly because it isn't able to distinguish
live and dead tuples in pg_database. Simplify locking on pg_database
to be similar to the rules used with pg_shadow and pg_group, and eliminate
FlushRelationBuffers operations that were used only to reduce the odds
of failure of GetRawDatabaseInfo.
initdb forced due to addition of a trigger to pg_database.
