It's easy to forget using SYSTEMQUOTEs when constructing command strings for system() or popen(). Even if we fix all the places missing it now, it is bound to be forgotten again in the future. Introduce wrapper functions that do the the extra quoting for you, and get rid of SYSTEMQUOTEs in all the callers. We previosly used SYSTEMQUOTEs in all the hard-coded command strings, and this doesn't change the behavior of those. But user-supplied commands, like archive_command, restore_command, COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM calls, as well as pgbench's \shell, will now gain an extra pair of quotes. That is desirable, but if you have existing scripts or config files that include an extra pair of quotes, those might need to be adjusted. Reviewed by Amit Kapila and Tom Lane
The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
