The previous coding would try to process all SECTION_NONE items in the
initial sequential-restore pass, which failed if they were dependencies of
not-yet-restored items. Fix by postponing such items into the parallel
processing pass once we have skipped any non-PRE_DATA item.
Back-patch into 9.0; the original parallel-restore coding in 8.4 did not
have this bug, so no need to change it.

ts_typanalyze.c computes MCE statistics as fractions of the non-null rows,
which seems fairly reasonable, and anyway changing it in released versions
wouldn't be a good idea. But then ts_selfuncs.c has to account for that.
Failure to do so results in overestimates in columns with a significant
fraction of null documents. Back-patch to 8.4 where this stuff was
introduced.

That function was supposing that indexoid == 0 for a hypothetical index,
but that is not likely to be true in any non-toy implementation of an index
adviser, since assigning a fake OID is the only way to know at EXPLAIN time
which hypothetical index got selected. Fix by adding a flag to
IndexOptInfo to mark hypothetical indexes. Back-patch to 9.0 where
get_actual_variable_range() was added.

Recent releases had a check on rel->rd_refcnt in heap_drop_with_catalog,
but failed to cover the possibility of pending trigger events at DROP time.
(Before 8.4 we didn't even check the refcnt.) When the trigger events were
eventually fired, you'd get "could not open relation with OID nnn" errors,
as in recent report from strk. Better to throw a suitable error when the
DROP is attempted.
Also add a similar check in DROP INDEX.
Back-patch to all supported branches.

Modify PQescapeStringConn() docs to be consisent with other escaping

Add mention problems with pre-9.0 versions of libpq using not understanding

Backpatch to 9.0 docs.
Flattening of subquery range tables during setrefs.c could lead to the
rangetable indexes in PlanRowMark nodes not matching up with the column
names previously assigned to the corresponding resjunk ctid (resp. tableoid
or wholerow) columns. Typical symptom would be either a "cannot extract
system attribute from virtual tuple" error or an Assert failure. This
wasn't a problem before 9.0 because we didn't support FOR UPDATE below the
top query level, and so the final flattening could never renumber an RTE
that was relevant to FOR UPDATE. Fix by using a plan-tree-wide unique
number for each PlanRowMark to label the associated resjunk columns, so
that the number need not change during flattening.
Per report from David Johnston (though I'm darned if I can see how this got
past initial testing of the relevant code). Back-patch to 9.0.
New versions of libintl redefine setlocale() to a macro
which causes problems when the backend and libintl are
linked against different versions of the runtime, which
is often the case in msvc builds.

Previously reported as ERRCODE_ADMIN_SHUTDOWN, this case is now
reported as ERRCODE_DATABASE_DROPPED. No message text change.
Unlikely to happen on most servers, so low impact change to allow
session poolers to correctly handle this situation.

reduce_outer_joins() mistakenly treated a semijoin like a left join for
purposes of deciding whether not-null constraints created by the join's
quals could be passed down into the join's left-hand side (possibly
resulting in outer-join simplification there). Actually, semijoin works
like inner join for this purpose, ie, we do not need to see any rows that
can't possibly satisfy the quals. Hence, two-line fix to treat semi and
inner joins alike. Per observation by Andres Freund about a performance
gripe from Yazan Suleiman.
Back-patch to 8.4, since this oversight has been there since the current
handling of semijoins was implemented.
contrib/intarray's gettoken() uses a fixed-size buffer to collect an
integer's digits, and did not guard against overrunning the buffer.
This is at least a backend crash risk, and in principle might allow
arbitrary code execution. The code didn't check for overflow of the
integer value either, which while not presenting a crash risk was still
bad.
Thanks to Apple Inc's security team for reporting this issue and supplying
the fix.
Security: CVE-2010-4015
We only need that header when compiling with icc, since the gcc variant of
ia64_get_bsp() uses in-line assembly code. Per report from Frank Brendel,
the header doesn't exist on all IA64 platforms; so don't include it unless
we need it.
Failure to do so can lead to constraint violations. This was broken by
commit 1ddc2703a9 on 2010-02-07, so
back-patch to 9.0.
Noah Misch. Regression test by me.
If the slice to be assigned to was before the existing array lower bound
(requiring at least one null element to spring into existence to fill the
gap), the code miscalculated how many entries needed to be copied from
the old array's null bitmap. This could result in trashing the array's
data area (as seen in bug #5840 from Karsten Loesing), or worse.
This has been broken since we first allowed the behavior of assigning to
non-adjacent slices, in 8.2. Back-patch to all affected versions.
Otherwise WAL recovery will replay the un-flushed WAL after walreceiver has
exited, which can lead to a non-recoverable standby if the system crashes hard
at that point.
that can be read without blocking. It used to conclude that there isn't, even
though there was data in the socket receive buffer. That lead walreceiver to
flush the WAL after every received chunk, potentially causing big performance
issues.
Backpatch to 9.0, because the performance impact can be very significant.
In an inherited UPDATE/DELETE, each target table has its own subplan,
because it might have a column set different from other targets. This
means that the resjunk columns we add to support EvalPlanQual might be
at different physical column numbers in each subplan. The EvalPlanQual
rewrite I did for 9.0 failed to account for this, resulting in possible
misbehavior or even crashes during concurrent updates to the same row,
as seen in a recent report from Gordon Shannon. Revise the data structure
so that we track resjunk column numbers separately for each subplan.
I also chose to move responsibility for identifying the physical column
numbers back to executor startup, instead of assuming that numbers derived
during preprocess_targetlist would stay valid throughout subsequent
massaging of the plan. That's a bit slower, so we might want to consider
undoing it someday; but it would complicate the patch considerably and
didn't seem justifiable in a bug fix that has to be back-patched to 9.0.
Don't insist on pg_dumpall and psql being present in the old cluster,
since they are not needed. Do insist on pg_resetxlog being present
(in both old and new), since we need it. Also check for pg_config,
but only in the new cluster. Remove the useless attempt to call
pg_config in the old cluster; we don't need to know the old value of
--pkglibdir. (In the case of a stripped-down migration installation
there might be nothing there to look at anyway, so any future change
that might reintroduce that need would have to be considered carefully.)
Per my attempts to build a minimal previous-version installation to support
pg_upgrade.
The "date" type supports a wider range of dates than int64 timestamps do.
However, there is pre-int64-timestamp code in the planner that assumes that
all date values can be converted to timestamp with impunity. Fortunately,
what we really need out of the conversion is always a double (float8)
value; so even when the date is out of timestamp's range it's possible to
produce a sane answer. All we need is a code path that doesn't try to
force the result into int64. Per trouble report from David Rericha.
Back-patch to all supported versions. Although this is surely a corner
case, there's not much point in advertising a date range wider than
timestamp's if we will choke on such values in unexpected places.
eval_const_expressions() can replace CaseTestExprs with constants when
the surrounding CASE's test expression is a constant. This confuses
ruleutils.c's heuristic for deparsing simple-form CASEs, leading to
Assert failures or "unexpected CASE WHEN clause" errors. I had put in
a hack solution for that years ago (see commit
514ce7a331 of 2006-10-01), but bug #5794
from Peter Speck shows that that solution failed to cover all cases.
Fortunately, there's a much better way, which came to me upon reflecting
that Peter's "CASE TRUE WHEN" seemed pretty redundant: we can "simplify"
the simple-form CASE to the general form of CASE, by simply omitting the
constant test expression from the rebuilt CASE construct. This is
intuitively valid because there is no need for the executor to evaluate
the test expression at runtime; it will never be referenced, because any
CaseTestExprs that would have referenced it are now replaced by constants.
This won't save a whole lot of cycles, since evaluating a Const is pretty
cheap, but a cycle saved is a cycle earned. In any case it beats kluging
ruleutils.c still further. So this patch improves const-simplification
and reverts the previous change in ruleutils.c.
Back-patch to all supported branches. The bug exists in 8.1 too, but it's
out of warranty.
After parsing a parenthesized subexpression, we must pop all pending
ANDs and NOTs off the stack, just like the case for a simple operand.
Per bug #5793.
Also fix clones of this routine in contrib/intarray and contrib/ltree,
where input of types query_int and ltxtquery had the same problem.
Back-patch to all supported versions.
We don't actually need optreset, because we can easily fix the code to
ensure that it's cleanly restartable after having completed a scan over the
argv array; which is the only case we need to restart in. Getting rid of
it avoids a class of interactions with the system libraries and allows
reversion of my change of yesterday in postmaster.c and postgres.c.
Back-patch to 8.4. Before that the getopt code was a bit different anyway.
The mingw people don't appear to care about compatibility with non-GNU
versions of getopt, so force use of our own copy of getopt on Windows.
Also, ensure that we make use of optreset when using our own copy.
Per report from Andrew Dunstan. Back-patch to all versions supported
on Windows.
Fix the same size_alpha versus size_beta typo that was recently fixed
in contrib/cube. Noted by Alexander Korotkov.
Back-patch to all supported branches (there is a more invasive fix in
HEAD).
