xgettext is only required when make init-po is run manually; it is not
required for a build. The intent to handle that was already there, but
the ifdef's were in the wrong place.
This is a parsed DocBook DTD for the PSGML Emacs mode, but it hasn't
been updated since we switched to DocBook 4.2 about seven years ago.
Also, PSGML has deprecated this method of DTD parsing.
The GRANT reference page failed to mention that the USAGE privilege
allows modifying associated user mappings, although this was already
documented on the CREATE/ALTER/DROP USER MAPPING pages.

The issue was reported by Jim Nasby.

We may as well make pgstat_count_heap_scan() and related macros just count
whenever rel->pgstat_info isn't null. Testing pgstat_track_counts buys
nothing at all in the normal case where that flag is ON; and when it's OFF,
the pgstat_info link will be null, so it's still a useless test.
This change is unlikely to buy any noticeable performance improvement,
but a cycle shaved is a cycle earned; and my investigations earlier today
convinced me that we're down to the point where individual instructions in
the inner execution loops are starting to matter.
The original coding was quite sloppy about handling the case where
XLogReadBuffer fails (because the page has since been deleted). This
would result in either "bad buffer id: 0" or an Assert failure during
replay, if indeed the page were no longer there. In a couple of places
it also neglected to check whether the change had already been applied,
which would probably result in corrupted index contents. I believe that
bug #5703 is an instance of the first problem. These issues could show up
without replication, but only if you were unfortunate enough to crash
between modification of a GIN index and the next checkpoint.
Back-patch to 8.2, which is as far back as GIN has WAL support.
This patch merges the responsibility for NOT-flattening into
eval_const_expressions' processing. It wasn't done that way originally
because prepqual.c is far older than eval_const_expressions. But putting
this work into eval_const_expressions saves one pass over the qual trees,
and in fact saves even more than that because we can exploit the knowledge
that the subexpressions have already been recursively simplified. Doing it
this way also lets us do it uniformly over all expressions, whereas
prepqual.c formerly just did it at top level to save cycles. That should
improve the planner's ability to recognize logically-equivalent constructs.
While at it, also add the ability to fold a NOT into BooleanTest and
NullTest constructs (the latter only for the scalar-datatype case).
Per discussion of bug #5702.
Completion is supported in the context of \set and when interpolating
a variable value using :foo etc.
In passing, fix some places in tab-complete.c that weren't following
project style for comment formatting.

This patch adds the SQL-standard concept of an INSTEAD OF trigger, which
is fired instead of performing a physical insert/update/delete. The
trigger function is passed the entire old and/or new rows of the view,
and must figure out what to do to the underlying tables to implement
the update. So this feature can be used to implement updatable views
using trigger programming style rather than rule hacking.
In passing, this patch corrects the names of some columns in the
information_schema.triggers view. It seems the SQL committee renamed
them somewhere between SQL:99 and SQL:2003.

Since this introduces new refentries that we probably don't want to publish as
man pages, tweak man page stylesheet to omit man pages without manvolnum
element.

Various places were testing TRIGGER_FIRED_BEFORE() where what they really
meant was !TRIGGER_FIRED_AFTER(), or vice versa. This needs to be cleaned
up because there are about to be more than two possible states.
We might want to note this in the 9.1 release notes as something for
trigger authors to double-check.
For consistency's sake I also changed some places that assumed that
TRIGGER_FIRED_FOR_ROW and TRIGGER_FIRED_FOR_STATEMENT are necessarily
mutually exclusive; that's not in immediate danger of breaking, but
it's still sloppier than it should be.
Extracted from Dean Rasheed's patch for triggers on views. I'm committing
this separately since it's an identifiable separate issue, and is the
only reason for the patch to touch most of these particular files.
This patch resurrects some of the information that could be logged by the
old, now-dead implementation of VACUUM FULL, in particular counts of live
and dead tuples and the time taken for the table rebuild proper. There's
still no logging about the ensuing index rebuilds, though.

Use a macro LogicalTapeReadExact() to encapsulate the error check when
we want to read an exact number of bytes from a "tape". Per a suggestion
of Takahiro Itagaki.
In particular, we are now more explicit about the fact that you may need
wal_sync_method=fsync_writethrough for crash-safety on some platforms,
including MaxOS X. There's also now an explicit caution against assuming
that the default setting of wal_sync_method is either crash-safe or best
for performance.
This patch eliminates per-chunk palloc overhead for most small allocations
needed in the representation of an ispell dictionary. This saves close to
a factor of 2 on the current Czech ispell data. While it doesn't cover
every last small allocation in the ispell code, we are at the point of
diminishing returns, because about 95% of the allocations are covered
already.

Add explicit initialization and cleanup functions to spell.c, and keep
all working state in the already-existing ISpellDict struct. This lets us
get rid of a static variable along with some extremely shaky assumptions
about usage of child memory contexts.
This commit is just code beautification and has no impact on functionality
or performance, but it opens the way to a less-grotty implementation of
Pavel's memory-saving hack, which will follow shortly.
In versions 8.2 and up, the grammar allows attaching ORDER BY, LIMIT,
FOR UPDATE, or WITH to VALUES, and hence to INSERT ... VALUES. But the
special-case code for VALUES in transformInsertStmt() wasn't expecting any
of those, and just ignored them, leading to unexpected results. Rather
than complicate the special-case path, just ensure that the presence of any
of those clauses makes us treat the query as if it had a general SELECT.
Per report from Hitoshi Harada.
Actually making this case work, if the column is used in the trigger's
WHEN condition, will take some new code that probably isn't appropriate
to back-patch. For now, just throw a FEATURE_NOT_SUPPORTED error rather
than allowing control to reach the "unexpected object" case. Per bug #5688
from Daniel Grace. Back-patch to 9.0 where the possibility of such a
dependency was introduced.
There are numerous methods by which a Perl or Tcl function can subvert
the behavior of another such function executed later; for example, by
redefining standard functions or operators called by the target function.
If the target function is SECURITY DEFINER, or is called by such a
function, this means that any ordinary SQL user with Perl or Tcl language
usage rights can do essentially anything with the privileges of the target
function's owner.
To close this security hole, create a separate Perl or Tcl interpreter for
each SQL userid under which plperl or pltcl functions are executed within
a session. However, all plperlu or pltclu functions run within a session
still share a single interpreter, since they all execute at the trust
level of a database superuser anyway.
Note: this change results in a functionality loss when libperl has been
built without the "multiplicity" option: it's no longer possible to call
plperl functions under different userids in one session, since such a
libperl can't support multiple interpreters in one process. However, such
a libperl already failed to support concurrent use of plperl and plperlu,
so it's likely that few people use such versions with Postgres.
