equal: if strcoll claims two strings are equal, check it with strcmp, and
sort according to strcmp if not identical. This fixes inconsistent
behavior under glibc's hu_HU locale, and probably under some other locales
as well. Also, take advantage of the now-well-defined behavior to speed up
texteq, textne, bpchareq, bpcharne: they may as well just do a bitwise
comparison and not bother with strcoll at all.
NOTE: affected databases may need to REINDEX indexes on text columns to be
sure they are self-consistent.
messages, when client attempts to execute these outside a transaction (start
one) or in a failed transaction (reject message, except for COMMIT/ROLLBACK
statements which we can handle). Per report from Francisco Figueiredo Jr.
clauses even if it's an outer join. This is a corner case since such
clauses could only arise from weird OUTER JOIN ON conditions, but worth
fixing. Per example from Ron at cheapcomplexdevices.com.
Also add a retry for Unixen returning EINTR, which hasn't been reported
as an issue but at least theoretically could be. Patch by Qingqing Zhou,
some minor adjustments by me.
recursed twice on its first argument, leading to exponential time spent
on a deep nest of COALESCEs ... such as a deeply nested FULL JOIN would
produce. Per report from Matt Carter.
surprising results when it's some other numeric type. This doesn't solve
the generic problem of surprising implicit casts to text, but it's a
low-impact way of making sure this particular case behaves sanely.
Per gripe from Harald Fuchs and subsequent discussion.
anything but transaction-exiting commands (ROLLBACK etc). We already rejected
Parse and Execute in such cases, so there seems little point in allowing Bind.
This prevents at least an Assert failure, and probably worse things, since
there's a lot of infrastructure that doesn't work when not in a live
transaction. We can also simplify the Bind logic a bit by rejecting messages
with a nonzero number of parameters, instead of the former kluge to silently
substitute NULL for each parameter. Per bug #2033 from Joel Stevenson.
to assume that the string pointer passed to set_ps_display is good forever.
There's no need to anyway since ps_status.c itself saves the string, and
we already had an API (get_ps_display) to return it.
I believe this explains Jim Nasby's report of intermittent crashes in
elog.c when %i format code is in use in log_line_prefix.
While at it, repair a previously unnoticed problem: on some platforms such as
Darwin, the string returned by get_ps_display was blank-padded to the maximum
length, meaning that lock.c's attempt to append " waiting" to it never worked.
very narrow window in which SimpleLruReadPage or SimpleLruWritePage could
think that I/O was needed when it wasn't (and indeed the buffer had already
been assigned to another page). This would result in an Assert failure if
Asserts were enabled, and probably in silent data corruption if not.
Reported independently by Jim Nasby and Robert Creager.
I intend a more extensive fix when 8.2 development starts, but this is a
reasonably low-impact patch for the existing branches.
setting for the regression makefile, allowing Windows users to force locale
settings since Windows does not get its locale from the environment.

they were added to a group. Also fix visibility of our own changes when
creating the group file. This fixes:

CREATE GROUP
test=> CREATE USER u1 IN GROUP g1;
CREATE USER
test=> \! cat /u/pg/data/global/pg_group
"g1" "u1"
test=> CREATE USER u2 IN GROUP g1;
CREATE USER
test=> \! cat /u/pg/data/global/pg_group

test=> ALTER USER u2 RENAME TO u3;
ALTER USER

"g1" "u1" "u3"

Per report from Dennis Vshivkov
for an outer join; symptom is bogus error "RIGHT JOIN is only supported with
merge-joinable join conditions". Problem was that select_mergejoin_clauses
did its tests in the wrong order. We need to force left join not right join
for a merge join when there are non-mergeable join clauses; but the test for
this only accounted for mergejoinability of the clause operator, and not
whether the left and right Vars were of the proper relations. Per report
from Jean-Pierre Pelletier.
since it can take a fair amount of time and this can confuse boot scripts
that expect postmaster.pid to appear quickly. Move initialization of SSL
library and preloaded libraries to after that point, too, just for luck.
Per reports from Tony Caduto and others.
the wrong buffer dirty when trying to kill a dead index entry that's on
a page after the one it started on. No risk of data corruption, just
inefficiency, but still a bug.
A RestrictInfo representing an OR clause now contains two versions of
the contained expression, one with sub-RestrictInfos and one without.
clause_selectivity() should descend to the version with sub-RestrictInfos
so that it has a chance of caching its results for the OR's sub-clauses.
Failing to do so resulted in redundant planner effort.
