psql's lexer has historically deleted dash-dash (single-line) comments from what's collected and sent to the server. This is inconsistent with what it does for slash-star comments, and people have complained before that they wish such comments would be captured in the server log. Undoing the decision completely seems like too big a behavioral change, however. In particular, comments on lines preceding the start of a query are generally not thought of as being part of that query. What we can do to improve the situation is to capture comments that are clearly *within* a query, that is after the first non-whitespace, non-comment token but before the query's ending semicolon or backslash command. This is a nearly trivial code change, and it affects only a few regression test results. (It is tempting to try to apply the same rule to slash-star comments. But it's hard to see how to do that without getting strange history behavior for comments that cross lines, especially if the user then starts a new query on the same line as the star-slash. In view of the lack of complaints, let's leave that case alone.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAJcOf-cAdMVr7azeYR7nWKsNp7qhORzc84rV6d7m7knG5Hrtsw@mail.gmail.com |

PostgreSQL tests ================ This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin. Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see which tests get run automatically. authentication/ Tests for authentication (but see also below) examples/ Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via "make check" isolation/ Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level kerberos/ Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption ldap/ Tests for LDAP-based authentication locale/ Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc mb/ Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support modules/ Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable for installing in production databases perl/ Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests recovery/ Test suite for recovery and replication regress/ PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress ssl/ Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling subscription/ Tests for logical replication
