pg_dump/parallel.c was using realloc() directly with no error check.
While the odds of an actual failure here seem pretty low, Coverity
complains about it, so fix by using pg_realloc() instead.
While looking for other instances, I noticed a couple of places in
psql that hadn't gotten the memo about the availability of pg_realloc.
These aren't bugs, since they did have error checks, but verbosely
inconsistent code is not a good thing.
Back-patch as far as 9.3. 9.2 did not have pg_dump/parallel.c, nor
did it have pg_realloc available in all frontend code.
The malloc request was 1 byte too small for the worst-case output.
This seems relatively unlikely to cause any problems in practice,
as the worst case only occurs if the input string contains no
characters other than single-quote or newline, and even then
malloc alignment padding would probably save the day. But it's
definitely a bug.

Revert the output of the individual backslash commands that change print
settings back to the 9.3 way (not showing the command name in
parentheses). Implement \pset without arguments separately, showing all
settings with values in a table form.
With the unicode linestyle, this adds support to control if the
column, header, or border style should be single or double line
unicode characters. The default remains 'single'.
In passing, clean up the border documentation and address some
minor formatting/spelling issues.
Pavel Stehule, with some additional changes by me.
Add --help=<topic> for the commandline, and \? <topic> as a backslash
command, to show more help than the invocations without parameters
do. "commands", "variables" and "options" currently exist as help
topics describing, respectively, backslash commands, psql variables,
and commandline switches. Without parameters the help commands show
their previous topic.
Some further wordsmithing or extending of the added help content might
be needed; but there seems little benefit delaying the overall feature
further.

psql's \s (print command history) doesn't work at all with recent libedit
versions when printing to the terminal, because libedit tries to do an
fchmod() on the target file which will fail if the target is /dev/tty.
(We'd already noted this in the context of the target being /dev/null.)
Even before that, it didn't work pleasantly, because libedit likes to
encode the command history file (to ensure successful reloading), which
renders it nigh unreadable, not to mention significantly different-looking
depending on exactly which libedit version you have. So let's forget using
write_history() for this purpose, and instead print the data ourselves,
using logic similar to that used to iterate over the history for newline
encoding/decoding purposes.
While we're at it, insert the ability to use the pager when \s is printing
to the terminal. This has been an acknowledged shortcoming of \s for many
years, so while you could argue it's not exactly a back-patchable bug fix
it still seems like a good improvement. Anyone who's seriously annoyed
at this can use "\s /dev/tty" or local equivalent to get the old behavior.
Experimentation with this showed that the history iteration logic was
actually rather broken when used with libedit. It turns out that with
libedit you have to use previous_history() not next_history() to advance
to more recent history entries. The easiest and most robust fix for this
seems to be to make a run-time test to verify which function to call.
We had not noticed this because libedit doesn't really need the newline
encoding logic: its own encoding ensures that command entries containing
newlines are reloaded correctly (unlike libreadline). So the effective
behavior with recent libedits was that only the oldest history entry got
newline-encoded or newline-decoded. However, because of yet other bugs in
history_set_pos(), some old versions of libedit allowed the existing loop
logic to reach entries besides the oldest, which means there may be libedit
~/.psql_history files out there containing encoded newlines in more than
just the oldest entry. To ensure we can reload such files, it seems
appropriate to back-patch this fix, even though that will result in some
incompatibility with older psql versions (ie, multiline history entries
written by a psql with this fix will look corrupted to a psql without it,
if its libedit is reasonably up to date).

Previously \watch could not display the query execution time even
when \timing was enabled because it used PSQLexec instead of
SendQuery and that function didn't support \timing. This patch
introduces PSQLexecWatch and changes \watch so as to use it, instead.
PSQLexecWatch is the function to run the query, print its results and
display how long it took (only when \timing is enabled).
This patch also changes --echo-hidden so that it doesn't print
the query that \watch executes. Since \watch cannot execute
backslash command queries, they should not be printed even
when --echo-hidden is set.
Patch by me, review by Heikki Linnakangas and Michael Paquier
This refactoring is in preparation for adding support for other SSL
implementations, with no user-visible effects. There are now two #defines,
USE_OPENSSL which is defined when building with OpenSSL, and USE_SSL which
is defined when building with any SSL implementation. Currently, OpenSSL is
the only implementation so the two #defines go together, but USE_SSL is
supposed to be used for implementation-independent code.
The libpq SSL code is changed to use a custom BIO, which does all the raw
I/O, like we've been doing in the backend for a long time. That makes it
possible to use MSG_NOSIGNAL to block SIGPIPE when using SSL, which avoids
a couple of syscall for each send(). Probably doesn't make much performance
difference in practice - the SSL encryption is expensive enough to mask the
effect - but it was a natural result of this refactoring.
Based on a patch by Martijn van Oosterhout from 2006. Briefly reviewed by
Alvaro Herrera, Andreas Karlsson, Jeff Janes.
Both the psql banner and the connection logging already included
SSL status, cipher and bitlength, this adds the information about
compression being on or off.
It's easy to forget using SYSTEMQUOTEs when constructing command strings
for system() or popen(). Even if we fix all the places missing it now, it is
bound to be forgotten again in the future. Introduce wrapper functions that
do the the extra quoting for you, and get rid of SYSTEMQUOTEs in all the
callers.
We previosly used SYSTEMQUOTEs in all the hard-coded command strings, and
this doesn't change the behavior of those. But user-supplied commands, like
archive_command, restore_command, COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM calls, as well as
pgbench's \shell, will now gain an extra pair of quotes. That is desirable,
but if you have existing scripts or config files that include an extra
pair of quotes, those might need to be adjusted.

Various places were supposing that errno could be expected to hold still
within an ereport() nest or similar contexts. This isn't true necessarily,
though in some cases it accidentally failed to fail depending on how the
compiler chanced to order the subexpressions. This class of thinko
explains recent reports of odd failures on clang-built versions, typically
missing or inappropriate HINT fields in messages.

Back-patch as appropriate to all supported branches.
There was a bug in the psql's meta command \conninfo. When the
IP address was specified in the hostaddr and psql used it to create
a connection (i.e., psql -d "hostaddr=xxx"), \conninfo could not
display that address. This is because \conninfo got the connection
information only from PQhost() which could not return hostaddr.
This patch adds PQhostaddr(), and changes \conninfo so that it
can display not only the host name that PQhost() returns but also
the IP address which PQhostaddr() returns.
The bug has existed since 9.1 where \conninfo was introduced.
But it's too late to add new libpq function into the released versions,
so no backpatch.
The + modifier of \do didn't use to do anything, but now it adds an oprcode
column. This is useful both as an additional form of documentation of what
the operator does, and to save a step when finding out properties of the
underlying function.

Report and analysis by Nicolas Marchildon; patch by me
The previous commit was intended to make psql show the full path name when
doing a \s (history save), but it was very badly implemented and would show
confusing if not outright wrong information in many situations; for
instance if the path name given to \s is absolute, or if \cd commands
involving relative paths have been issued. Consensus seems to be that
we don't especially need this functionality in \s, and certainly not in \s
alone. So revert rather than trying to fix it up. Per gripe from
Ian Barwick.
Although the bogus behavior exists in all supported versions, I'm not
back-patching, because the work created for translators (by change of
a translatable message) would probably outweigh the value of what is
after all a mostly-cosmetic change.

For getting the server's version in numeric form, use PQserverVersion().
It does the exact same parsing as dumputils.c's parse_version(), and has
been around in libpq for a long time. For the client's version, just use
the PG_VERSION_NUM constant.
A materialized view has a rule just like a view and a heap and
other physical properties like a table. The rule is only used to
populate the table, references in queries refer to the
materialized data.
This is a minimal implementation, but should still be useful in
many cases. Currently data is only populated "on demand" by the
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW and REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW statements.
It is expected that future releases will add incremental updates
with various timings, and that a more refined concept of defining
what is "fresh" data will be developed. At some point it may even
be possible to have queries use a materialized in place of
references to underlying tables, but that requires the other
above-mentioned features to be working first.

Security review by KaiGai Kohei, with a decision on how best to
implement sepgsql still pending.
In the previous coding, psql's state variable saying that output should
go to a file was only reset after successful completion of a query
returning tuples. Thus for example,
regression=# select 1/0
regression-# \g somefile
ERROR: division by zero
regression=# select 1/2;
regression=#
... huh, I wonder where that output went. Even more oddly, the state
was not reset even if it's the file that's causing the failure:
regression=# select 1/2 \g /foo
/foo: Permission denied
regression=# select 1/2;
/foo: Permission denied
regression=# select 1/2;
/foo: Permission denied
This seems to me not to satisfy the principle of least surprise.
\g is certainly not documented in a way that suggests its effects are
at all persistent.
To fix, adjust the code so that the flag is reset at exit from SendQuery
no matter what happened.
Noted while reviewing the \gset patch, which had comparable issues.
Arguably this is a bug fix, but I'll refrain from back-patching for now.
This ensures that mapping of non-ascii prompts

Bug report and original patch from Alexander Law,

Backpatch to all live branches.
We had a number of variants on the theme of "malloc or die", with the
majority named like "pg_malloc", but by no means all. Standardize on the
names pg_malloc, pg_malloc0, pg_realloc, pg_strdup. Get rid of pg_calloc
entirely in favor of using pg_malloc0.
This is an essentially cosmetic change, so no back-patch. (I did find
a couple of places where psql and pg_dump were using plain malloc or
strdup instead of the pg_ versions, but they don't look significant
enough to bother back-patching.)
Only warn when connecting to a newer server, since connecting to older
servers works pretty well nowadays. Also update the documentation a
little about current psql/server compatibility expectations.
Previously, the -1 option was silently ignored.
Also, emit an error if -1 is used in a context where it won't be
respected, to avoid user confusion.
