Peter Eisentraut	8b9e9644dc	Replace AclObjectKind with ObjectType ... AclObjectKind was basically just another enumeration for object types, and we already have a preferred one for that. It's only used in aclcheck_error. By using ObjectType instead, we can also give some more precise error messages, for example "index" instead of "relation".

Tom Lane	18555b1323	Establish conventions about global object names used in regression tests. ... To ensure that "make installcheck" can be used safely against an existing installation, we need to be careful about what global object names (database, role, and tablespace names) we use; otherwise we might accidentally clobber important objects. There's been a weak consensus that test databases should have names including "regression", and that test role names should start with "regress_", but we didn't have any particular rule about tablespace names; and neither of the other rules was followed with any consistency either. This commit moves us a long way towards having a hard-and-fast rule that regression test databases must have names including "regression", and that test role and tablespace names must start with "regress_". It's not completely there because I did not touch some test cases in rolenames.sql that test creation of special role names like "session_user". That will require some rethinking of exactly what we want to test, whereas the intent of this patch is just to hit all the cases in which the needed renamings are cosmetic. There is no enforcement mechanism in this patch either, but if we don't add one we can expect that the tests will soon be violating the convention again. Again, that's not such a cosmetic change and it will require discussion. (But I did use a quick-hack enforcement patch to find these cases.) Discussion: <16638.1468620817@sss.pgh.pa.us>	10 years ago
Andres Freund	d6fa44fce7	Add skip-empty-xacts option to test_decoding for use in the regression tests. ... The regression tests for contrib/test_decoding regularly failed on postgres instances that were very slow. Either because the hardware itself was slow or because very expensive debugging options like CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS were used. The reason they failed was just that some additional transactions were decoded. Analyze and vacuum, triggered by autovac. To fix just add a option to test_decoding to only display transactions in which a change was actually displayed. That's not pretty because it removes information from the tests; but better than constantly failing tests in very likely harmless ways. Backpatch to 9.4 where logical decoding was introduced.

Robert Haas	b89e151054	Introduce logical decoding. ... This feature, building on previous commits, allows the write-ahead log stream to be decoded into a series of logical changes; that is, inserts, updates, and deletes and the transactions which contain them. It is capable of handling decoding even across changes to the schema of the effected tables. The output format is controlled by a so-called "output plugin"; an example is included. To make use of this in a real replication system, the output plugin will need to be modified to produce output in the format appropriate to that system, and to perform filtering. Currently, information can be extracted from the logical decoding system only via SQL; future commits will add the ability to stream changes via walsender.
