non-default settings for the postmaster's port number. The code to parse
command line options and postgresql.conf entries wasn't quite right about
whitespace or quotes, and it was coded in a not-very-readable way too.
Per bug #3969 from Itagaki Takahiro, though this is more extensive than his
proposed patch (which fixed only the whitespace problem).
This code has been broken since it was put in in 8.0, so patch all the way
back.
OID or new relfilenode. If the existing OIDs are sufficiently densely
populated, this could take a long time (perhaps even be an infinite loop),
so it seems wise to allow the system to respond to a cancel interrupt here.
Per a gripe from Jacky Leng.
Backpatch as far as 8.1. Older versions just fail on OID collision,
instead of looping.
and RI_FKey_keyequal_upd_fk, as well as no-longer-needed calls of
ri_BuildQueryKeyFull. Aside from saving a few cycles, this avoids needless
deadlock risks when an update is not changing the columns that participate
in an RI constraint. Per a gripe from Alexey Nalbat.
Back-patch to 8.3. Earlier releases did have a need to open the other
relation due to the way in which they retrieved information about the RI
constraint, so this problem unfortunately can't easily be improved pre-8.3.

- Change configure.in to use Autoconf 2.61 and update generated files.
- Update build system and documentation to support now directory variables
offered by Autoconf 2.61.
- Replace usages of PGAC_CHECK_ALIGNOF by AC_CHECK_ALIGNOF, now available
in Autoconf 2.61.
- Drop our patched version of AC_C_INLINE, as Autoconf now has the change.
data structures and backend internal APIs. This solves problems we've seen
recently with inconsistent layout of pg_control between machines that have
32-bit time_t and those that have already migrated to 64-bit time_t. Also,
we can get out from under the problem that Windows' Unix-API emulation is not
consistent about the width of time_t.
There are a few remaining places where local time_t variables are used to hold
the current or recent result of time(NULL). I didn't bother changing these
since they do not affect any cross-module APIs and surely all platforms will
have 64-bit time_t before overflow becomes an actual risk. time_t should
be avoided for anything visible to extension modules, however.
this adds support for 64-bit tzdata files, which is needed to support DST
calculations beyond 2038. Add a regression test case to give some minimal
confidence that that really works.

verify_peer_name_matches_certificate(), clarify some of the function's

(or RETURNING), but only when the output name is not any SQL keyword.
This seems as close as we can get to the standard's syntax without a
great deal of thrashing. Original patch by Hiroshi Saito, amended by me.
This was probably protecting some implementation limitation when it was
put in, but as far as I can tell the planner and executor have no such
assumption anymore; the case seems to work fine. Per a gripe from
Grzegorz Jaskiewicz.
was Tcl 8.4.8. The main changes are to remove the never-fully-implemented
code for multi-character collating elements, and to const-ify some stuff a
bit more fully. In combination with the recent security patch, this commit
brings us into line with Tcl 8.5.0.
Note that I didn't make any effort to duplicate a lot of cosmetic changes
that they made to bring their copy into line with their own style
guidelines, such as adding braces around single-line IF bodies. Most of
those we either had done already (such as ANSI-fication of function headers)
or there is no point because pgindent would undo the change anyway.
doing anything interesting, such as calling RevalidateCachedPlan(). The
necessity of this is demonstrated by an example from Willem Buitendyk:
during a replan, the planner might try to evaluate SPI-using functions,
and so we'd better be in a clean SPI context.
A small downside of this fix is that these two functions will now fail
outright if called when not inside a SPI-using procedure (ie, a
SPI_connect/SPI_finish pair). The documentation never promised or suggested
that that would work, though; and they are normally used in concert with
other functions, mainly SPI_prepare, that always have failed in such a case.
So the odds of breaking something seem pretty low.
In passing, make SPI_is_cursor_plan's error handling convention clearer,
and fix documentation's erroneous claim that SPI_cursor_open would
return NULL on error.
Before 8.3 these functions could not invoke replanning, so there is probably
no need for back-patching.
calculating a page's initial free space was fine, and should not have been
"improved" by letting PageGetHeapFreeSpace do it. VACUUM FULL is going to
reclaim LP_DEAD line pointers later, so there is no need for a guard
against the page being too full of line pointers, and having one risks
rejecting pages that are perfectly good move destinations.
This also exposed a second bug, which is that the empty_end_pages logic
assumed that any page with no live tuples would get entered into the
fraged_pages list automatically (by virtue of having more free space than
the threshold in the do_frag calculation). This assumption certainly
seems risky when a low fillfactor has been chosen, and even without
tunable fillfactor I think it could conceivably fail on a page with many
unused line pointers. So fix the code to force do_frag true when notup
is true, and patch this part of the fix all the way back.
Per report from Tomas Szepe.
issue a helpful error message instead of sending unparsable garbage.
(It is clearly a design error that this doesn't work, but fixing it
is not worth the trouble at this point.) Per discussion.
the parser supplies a default typmod that can result in data loss (ie,
truncation). Currently that appears to be only CHARACTER and BIT.
We can avoid the problem by specifying the type's internal name instead
of using SQL-spec syntax. Since the queries generated here are only used
internally, there's no need to worry about portability. This problem is
new in 8.3; before we just let the parser do whatever it wanted to resolve
the operator, but 8.3 is trying to be sure that the semantics of FK checks
are consistent. Per report from Harald Fuchs.
statement be a list of bare C strings, rather than String nodes, which is
what they need to be for copyfuncs/equalfuncs to work. Fortunately these
node types never go out to disk (if they did, we'd likely have noticed the
problem sooner), so we can just fix it without creating a need for initdb.
This bug has been there since 8.0, but 8.3 exposes it in a more common
code path (Parse messages) than prior releases did. Per bug #3940 from
Vladimir Kokovic.
AlterTSConfigurationStmt. All utility statement node types are expected
to be supported here, though they do not have to have outfuncs/readfuncs
support. Found by running regression tests with COPY_PARSE_PLAN_TREES
enabled.
tablespace permissions failures when copying an index that is in the
database's default tablespace. A side-effect of the change is that explicitly
specifying the default tablespace no longer triggers a permissions check;
this is not how it was done in pre-8.3 releases but is argued to be more
consistent. Per bug #3921 from Andrew Gilligan. (Note: I argued in the
subsequent discussion that maybe LIKE shouldn't copy index tablespaces
at all, but since no one indicated agreement with that idea, I've refrained
from doing it.)
in .bat simply did not work, and it called them in the wrong order,
some several times, and some not at all. So this unrolls all subroutine
calls.
This should fix the issues with clean deleting the wrong files reported
by Dave Page.
While at it, add the "clean dist" option to act like "make distclean",
and no longer remove the flex/bison output files by default. This shuold
fix the problem reported by Pavel Golub in bug #3909.
erroring out of a wait. We can use a PG_TRY block for this, but add a comment
explaining why it'd be a bad idea to use it for any other state cleanup.
Back-patch to 8.2. Prior releases had the same issue, but only with respect
to the process title, which is likely to get reset almost immediately anyway
after the transaction aborts, so it seems not worth changing them. In 8.2
and HEAD, the pg_stat_activity "waiting" flag could remain set incorrectly
for a long time.
Per report from Gurjeet Singh.
