History

Nathan Bossart 8275325a06 Restrict password hash length. Commit `6aa44060a3` removed pg_authid's TOAST table because the only varlena column is rolpassword, which cannot be de-TOASTed during authentication because we haven't selected a database yet and cannot read pg_class. Since that change, attempts to set password hashes that require out-of-line storage will fail with a "row is too big" error. This error message might be confusing to users. This commit places a limit on the length of password hashes so that attempts to set long password hashes will fail with a more user-friendly error. The chosen limit of 512 bytes should be sufficient to avoid "row is too big" errors independent of BLCKSZ, but it should also be lenient enough for all reasonable use-cases (or at least all the use-cases we could imagine).

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
