When converting a timestamp to/from with/without time zone, the SQL
Standard specifies an AT LOCAL variant of AT TIME ZONE which uses the
session's time zone. This includes three system functions able to do
the work in the same way as the existing flavors for AT TIME ZONE,
except that these need to be marked as stable as they depend on the
session's TimeZone GUC.

timezone(zone, timestamp) is already mentioned as an equivalent of the
two first patterns in the table describing the AT TIME ZONE variants,
but did not mention the third case about "time" and its equivalent as an
SQL function, so let's be consistent here.

This adds a new option called BGWORKER_BYPASS_ROLELOGINCHECK to the
flags available to BackgroundWorkerInitializeConnection() and
BackgroundWorkerInitializeConnectionByOid().
This gives the possibility to bgworkers to bypass the role login check,
making possible the use of a role that has no login rights while not
being a superuser. PostgresInit() gains a new flag called
INIT_PG_OVERRIDE_ROLE_LOGIN, taking advantage of the refactoring done in
4800a5dfb4.
Regression tests are added to worker_spi to check the behavior of this
new option with bgworkers.

While these two built-in functions do exactly the same thing,
CURRENT_USER seems preferable to use in documentation examples.
It's easier to look up if the reader is unsure what it is.
Also, this puts these examples in sync with an adjacent example
that already used CURRENT_USER.

Overlength output was added in commit 1e68e43d3.
While here, adjust some shaky grammar in an adjacent note

Per buildfarm.
These options already exist, but you need to specify a column list for
them, which can be cumbersome. We already have the possibility of all
columns for FORCE QUOTE, so this is simply extending that facility to
FORCE_NULL and FORCE_NOT_NULL.

In order to troubleshoot misbehaving or buggy event triggers, the
documented advice is to enter single-user mode. In an attempt to
reduce the number of situations where single-user mode is required
(or even recommended) for non-extraordinary maintenance, this GUC
allows to temporarily suspend event triggers.
This was originally extracted from a larger patchset which aimed
at supporting event triggers on login events.

The previous wording had a faint archaic whiff to it, and more
importantly used "catalogs" as a verb, which while cutely
self-referential seems likely to provoke confusion in this
particular context. Also consistently use "kind" not "type" to
refer to the different kinds of relations distinguished by relkind.

As physical replication work at the cluster level and not database
level, any dbname in the connection string is ignored. Proxies and
middleware used in connecting to the cluster might however need to
know the dbname in order to make the correct routing decision for
the connection.
With this the startup packet will include the dbname parameter.

As reported in bug #18057, the extension unaccent removes in its rule
file whitespace characters that are intentionally specified when
building unaccent.rules from UnicodeData.txt, causing an incorrect
translation for some characters like numeric symbols. This is caused by
the fact that all whitespaces before and after the origin and target
characters are all discarded (this limitation is documented).
This commit makes possible the use of quotes around target characters,
so as whitespaces can be considered part of target characters. Some
target characters use a double quote, these require an extra double
quote.
The documentation is updated to show how to use quoted areas,
generate_unaccent_rules.py is updated to generate unaccent.rules and a
couple of tests are added for numeric symbols. While working on this
patch, I have implemented a fake rule file to test the parsing logic
implemented, which is not included here as it would just consume extra
cycles in the tests, and it requires the manipulation of an installation
tree to be able to work correctly.
As this requires a change of format in unaccent.rules, this cannot be
backpatched, unfortunately. The idea to use double quotes as escaped
characters comes from Tom Lane.

which is not so. Add a defensive check.
It's plausible that this mistake occurred because of the rather
poorly chosen name of the lookup function SPI_cursor_find(),

like a cursor. Add some documentation to try to forestall future

jit_expressions and jit_tuple_deforming. As they are combined in

This commit allows specifying a --sync-method in several frontend
utilities that must synchronize many files to disk (initdb,
pg_basebackup, pg_checksums, pg_dump, pg_rewind, and pg_upgrade).
On Linux, users can specify "syncfs" to synchronize the relevant
file systems instead of calling fsync() for every single file. In
many cases, using syncfs() is much faster.
As with recovery_init_sync_method, this new option comes with some
caveats. The descriptions of these caveats have been moved to a
new appendix section in the documentation.
