For no obvious reason, isolationtester has always insisted that session and step names be written with double quotes. This is fairly tedious and does little for test readability, especially since the names that people actually choose almost always look like normal identifiers. Hence, let's tweak the lexer to allow SQL-like identifiers not only double-quoted strings. (They're SQL-like, not exactly SQL, because I didn't add any case-folding logic. Also there's no provision for U&"..." names, not that anyone's likely to care.) There is one incompatibility introduced by this change: if you write "foo""bar" with no space, that used to be taken as two identifiers, but now it's just one identifier with an embedded quote mark. I converted all the src/test/isolation/ specfiles to remove unnecessary double quotes, but stopped there because my eyes were glazing over already. Like 741d7f104, back-patch to all supported branches, so that this isn't a stumbling block for back-patching isolation test changes. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/759113.1623861959@sss.pgh.pa.us
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.
