the input values into a string. The two argument version also does the same
thing, but inserts delimiters between elements.

false positives during Hot Standby conflict processing. Simple
patch to enhance conflict processing, following previous discussions.
Controlled by parameter minimize_standby_conflicts = on | off, with
default off allows measurement of performance impact to see whether
it should be set on all the time.
In addition to everything built installed and tested by all, install and installcheck targets, these build HTML Docs,
build and test contrib, and test PLs and ECPG.
PQconnectStartParams. These are analogous to PQconnectdb and PQconnectStart
respectively. They differ from the legacy functions in that they accept
two NULL-terminated arrays, keywords and values, rather than conninfo
strings. This avoids the need to build the conninfo string in cases
where it might be inconvenient to do so. Includes documentation.
Also modify psql to utilize PQconnectdbParams rather than PQsetdbLogin.
This allows the new config parameter application_name to be set, which
in turn is displayed in the pg_stat_activity view and included in CSV
log entries. This will also ensure both new functions get regularly
exercised.
Patch by Guillaume Lelarge with review and minor adjustments by
Joe Conway.
- Allow (ineffective) use of 'require' in plperl
If the required module is not already loaded then it dies.
So "use strict;" now works in plperl.
- Pre-load the feature module if perl >= 5.10.
So "use feature :5.10;" now works in plperl.
- Stored procedure subs are now given names.
The names are not visible in ordinary use, but they make
tools like Devel::NYTProf and Devel::Cover much more useful.
- Simplified and generalized the subroutine creation code.
Now one code path for generating sub source code, not four.
Can generate multiple 'use' statements with specific imports
(which handles plperl.use_strict currently and can easily
be extended to handle a plperl.use_feature=':5.12' in future).
- Disallows use of Safe version 2.20 which is broken for PL/Perl.

- Assorted minor optimizations by pre-growing data structures.

default of "plpgsql". This is more reasonable than it was when the DO patch
was written, because we have since decided that plpgsql should be installed
by default. Per discussion, having a parameter for this doesn't seem useful
enough to justify the risk of application breakage if the value is changed
unexpectedly.
and implement OVERLAY() for bit strings and bytea.
In passing also convert text OVERLAY() to a true built-in, instead of
relying on a SQL function.

woken by alarm we send SIGUSR1 to all backends requesting that they
check to see if they are blocking Startup process. If so, they throw
ERROR/FATAL as for other conflict resolutions. Deadlock stop gap
removed. max_standby_delay = -1 option removed to prevent deadlock.
Attributes can now have options, just as relations and tablespaces do, and
the reloptions code is used to parse, validate, and store them. For
simplicity and because these options are not performance critical, we store
them in a separate cache rather than the main relcache.
Thanks to Alex Hunsaker for the review.
PQescapeLiteral is similar to PQescapeStringConn, but it relieves the
caller of the need to know how large the output buffer should be, and
it provides the appropriate quoting (in addition to escaping special
characers within the string). PQescapeIdentifier provides similar
functionality for escaping identifiers.
Per recent discussion with Tom Lane.
quote_literal, quote_nullable, quote_ident,
encode_bytea, decode_bytea, looks_like_number,
encode_array_literal, encode_array_constructor.
Split SPI.xs into two - SPI.xs now contains only SPI functions. Remainder
are in new Util.xs.
Some more code and documentation cleanup along the way, as well as
adding some CVS markers to files missing them.
Original patch from Tim Bunce, with a little editing from me.
Modify the "Escaping Strings for Inclusion in SQL Commands" section
to use a <variablelist> as the preceding and following sections do,
and merge the "Escaping Binary Strings for Inclusion in SQL Commands"
section into it.
This changes only the formatting of these sections, not the content.
It is intended to lay the groundwork for a follow-on patch to add
some new escaping functions, but it makes sense to commit this first,
for clarity.
This is the last EXECUTE-like plpgsql statement that was missing
the capability of inserting parameter values via USING.

pg_constraint before searching pg_trigger. This allows saner handling of
corner cases; in particular we now say "constraint is not deferrable"
rather than "constraint does not exist" when the command is applied to
a constraint that's inherently non-deferrable. Per a gripe several months
ago from hubert depesz lubaczewski.
To make this work without breaking user-defined constraint triggers,
we have to add entries for them to pg_constraint. However, in return
we can remove the pgconstrname column from pg_constraint, which represents
a fairly sizable space savings. I also replaced the tgisconstraint column
with tgisinternal; the old meaning of tgisconstraint can now be had by
testing for nonzero tgconstraint, while there is no other way to get
the old meaning of nonzero tgconstraint, namely that the trigger was
internally generated rather than being user-created.
In passing, fix an old misstatement in the docs and comments, namely that
pg_trigger.tgdeferrable is exactly redundant with pg_constraint.condeferrable.
Actually, we mark RI action triggers as nondeferrable even when they belong to
a nominally deferrable FK constraint. The SET CONSTRAINTS code now relies on
that instead of hard-coding a list of exception OIDs.
This includes two new kinds of postmaster processes, walsenders and
walreceiver. Walreceiver is responsible for connecting to the primary server
and streaming WAL to disk, while walsender runs in the primary server and
streams WAL from disk to the client.
Documentation still needs work, but the basics are there. We will probably
pull the replication section to a new chapter later on, as well as the
sections describing file-based replication. But let's do that as a separate
patch, so that it's easier to see what has been added/changed. This patch
also adds a new section to the chapter about FE/BE protocol, documenting the
protocol used by walsender/walreceivxer.
Bump catalog version because of two new functions,
pg_last_xlog_receive_location() and pg_last_xlog_replay_location(), for
monitoring the progress of replication.

pginstaller isn't used anymore, in favor of the one-click installers.
Make it clear that we support Windows 2000 and newer with the native
port, instead of first saying we support NT4 and then saying we don't.
- Changed MULTIPLICITY check from runtime to compiletime.
No loads the large Config module.
- Changed plperl_init_interp() to return new interp
and not alter the global interp_state
- Moved plperl_safe_init() call into check_interp().
- Removed plperl_safe_init_done state variable
as interp_state now covers that role.
- Changed plperl_create_sub() to take a plperl_proc_desc argument.
- Simplified return value handling in plperl_create_sub.
- Changed perl.com link in the docs to perl.org and tweaked
wording to clarify that require, not use, is what's blocked.
- Moved perl code in large multi-line C string literal macros
out to plc_*.pl files.
- Added a test2macro.pl utility to convert the plc_*.pl files to
macros in a perlchunks.h file which is #included
- Simplifed plperl_safe_init() slightly
- Optimized pg_verifymbstr calls to avoid unneeded strlen()s.
Patch from Tim Bunce, with minor editing from me.
This uses the same infrastructure with EXPLAIN BUFFERS to support
{shared|local}_blks_{hit|read|written} andtemp_blks_{read|written}
columns in the pg_stat_statements view. The dumped file format
also updated.
Thanks to Robert Haas for the review.
