the script is not executable as UCS_to_most.pl is in CVS. It also won't
pick up any custom setting of the perl version/location to use. This
patch calls perl scripts like $(PERL) $(srcdir)/script.pl.

possible ScanDirection alternatives rather than magic numbers
(-1, 0, 1). Also, use the ScanDirection macros in a few places
rather than directly checking whether `dir == ForwardScanDirection'
and the like. Per patch from James William Pye. His patch also
changed ScanDirection to be a "char" rather than an enum, which
I haven't applied.
by decompiling the typdefaultbin expression, not just printing the typdefault
text which may be out-of-date or assume the wrong schema search path. (It's
the same hazard as for adbin vs adsrc in column defaults.) The catalogs.sgml
spec for pg_type implies that the correct procedure is to look to
typdefaultbin first and consider typdefault only if typdefaultbin is NULL.
I made dumping of both domains and base types do that, even though in the
current backend code typdefaultbin is always correct for domains and
typdefault for base types --- might as well try to future-proof it a little.

in leaking memory when invoking a PL/Python procedure that raises an
exception. Unfortunately this still leaks memory, but at least the
largest leak has been plugged.
This patch also fixes a reference counting mistake in PLy_modify_tuple()
for 8.0, 8.1 and HEAD: we don't actually own a reference to `platt', so
we shouldn't Py_DECREF() it.
allocates the control data. The per-tape buffers are allocated only
on first use. This saves memory in situations where tuplesort.c
overestimates the number of tapes needed (ie, there are fewer runs
than tapes). Also, this makes legitimate the coding in inittapes()
that includes tape buffer space in the maximum-memory calculation:
when inittapes runs, we've already expended the whole allowed memory
on tuple storage, and so we'd better not allocate all the tape buffers
until we've flushed some tuples out of memory.
with fixed merge order (fixed number of "tapes") was based on obsolete
assumptions, namely that tape drives are expensive. Since our "tapes"
are really just a couple of buffers, we can have a lot of them given
adequate workspace. This allows reduction of the number of merge passes
with consequent savings of I/O during large sorts.

pgcrypto crypt()/md5 and hmac() leak memory when compiled against
OpenSSL as openssl.c digest ->reset will do two DigestInit calls
against a context. This happened to work with OpenSSL 0.9.6
but not with 0.9.7+.
Reason for the messy code was that I tried to avoid creating
wrapper structure to transport algorithm info and tried to use
OpenSSL context for it. The fix is to create wrapper structure.
It also uses newer digest API to avoid memory allocations
on reset with newer OpenSSLs.
Thanks to Daniel Blaisdell for reporting it.
up a bunch of the support utilities.
In src/backend/utils/mb/Unicode remove nearly duplicate copies of the
UCS_to_XXX perl script and replace with one version to handle all generic
files. Update the Makefile so that it knows about all the map files.
This produces a slight difference in some of the map files, using a
uniform naming convention and not mapping the null character.
In src/backend/utils/mb/conversion_procs create a master utf8<->win
codepage function like the ISO 8859 versions instead of having a separate
handler for each conversion.
There is an externally visible change in the name of the win1258 to utf8
conversion. According to the documentation notes, it was named
incorrectly and this changes it to a standard name.
Running the Unicode mapping perl scripts has shown some additional mapping
changes in koi8r and iso8859-7.
we are not holding a buffer content lock; where it was, InterruptHoldoffCount

add missing vacuum_delay_point() call in btvacuumcleanup. This should fix

option state hasn't been fully set up. This is possible via PQreset()

id (CVE-2006-0553). Also fix related bug in SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION that
allows unprivileged users to crash the server, if it has been compiled with
Asserts enabled. The escalation-of-privilege risk exists only in 8.1.0-8.1.2.
However, the Assert-crash risk exists in all releases back to 7.3.
Thanks to Akio Ishida for reporting this problem.

While playing with this patch under 8.1.2 at home I discovered a
mistake in how I manually applied one of the hunks to fe-auth.c.
Basically, the base code had changed and so the patch needed to be
modified slightly. This is because the code no longer either has a
freeable pointer under 'name' or has 'name' as NULL.
The attached patch correctly frees the string from pg_krb5_authname
(where it had been strdup'd) if and only if pg_krb5_authname returned
a string (as opposed to falling through and having name be set using
name = pw->name;). Also added a comment to this effect.
Please review.

I looked into this and it seems the problem is that the view doesn't
get flattened into the main query because of the has_nullable_targetlist
limitation in prepjointree.c. That's triggered because pg_roles has
'********'::text AS rolpassword
which isn't nullable, meaning it would produce wrong behavior if
referenced above the outer join.
Ultimately, the reason this is a problem is that the planner deals only
in simple Vars while processing joins; it doesn't want to think about
expressions. I'm starting to think that it may be time to fix this,
because I've run into several related restrictions lately, but it seems
like a nontrivial project.
In the meantime, reducing the LEFT JOIN to pg_roles to a JOIN as per
Peter's suggestion seems like the best short-term workaround.
