by adding a requirement that build_join_rel add new join RelOptInfos to the
appropriate list immediately at creation. Per report from Robert Haas,
the list_concat_unique_ptr() calls that this change eliminates were taking
the lion's share of the runtime in larger join problems. This doesn't do
anything to fix the fundamental combinatorial explosion in large join
problems, but it should push out the threshold of pain a bit further.
Note: because this changes the order in which joinrel lists are built,
it might result in changes in selected plans in cases where different
alternatives have exactly the same costs. There is one example in the
regression tests.
be part of multixacts, so allocate a slot for each prepared transaction in
the "oldest member" array in multixact.c. On PREPARE TRANSACTION, transfer
the oldest member value from the current backends slot to the prepared xact
slot. Also save and recover the value from the 2pc state file.
The symptom of the bug was that after a transaction prepared, a shared lock
still held by the prepared transaction was sometimes ignored by other
transactions.
Fix back to 8.1, where both 2PC and multixact were introduced.
We have used -w for a long time as a means of reducing the reported diff
volume when one element of a result table isn't of the expected width.
However, most of the time the results just pass anyway, so this isn't as
important as it once was. Meanwhile, the risk of missing potentially
significant deviations has gone up, particularly with psql's ability to
report error cursor positions. So, let's switch over to space-sensitive
comparisons. Per my proposal of yesterday.
(All the expected files that I can test here seem to be ready for this
already, but we'll see what the buildfarm thinks about others.)
in the formerly-always-blank columns just to left and right of the data.
Different marking is used for a line break caused by a newline in the data
than for a straight wraparound. A newline break is signaled by a "+" in the
right margin column in ASCII mode, or a carriage return arrow in UNICODE mode.
Wraparound is signaled by a dot in the right margin as well as the following
left margin in ASCII mode, or an ellipsis symbol in the same places in UNICODE
mode. "\pset linestyle old-ascii" is added to make the previous behavior
available if anyone really wants it.
In passing, this commit also cleans up a few regression test files that
had unintended spacing differences from the current actual output.

list, minus a few specific words that have to be treated specially. This
replaces a hard-wired list of keywords that would have needed manual
maintenance, and was not getting it. The 8.4 coding was already missing
these words, causing ecpg to incorrectly treat them as reserved words:
CALLED, CATALOG, DEFINER, ENUM, FOLLOWING, INVOKER, OPTIONS, PARTITION,
PRECEDING, RANGE, SECURITY, SERVER, UNBOUNDED, WRAPPER. In HEAD we were
additionally missing COMMENTS, FUNCTIONS, SEQUENCES, TABLES.

checked to determine whether the trigger should be fired.
For BEFORE triggers this is mostly a matter of spec compliance; but for AFTER
triggers it can provide a noticeable performance improvement, since queuing of
a deferred trigger event and re-fetching of the row(s) at end of statement can
be short-circuited if the trigger does not need to be fired.

output files got rotated during a particular call (which would, in fact,
typically be the case during a size-based rotation). This would amount to
about MAXPGPATH (1KB) per rotation, and it's been there since the CSV
code was put in, so it's surprising that nobody noticed it before.

in future without having to make them fully-reserved keywords. The old syntax
remains available for existing options, however.

non-Var sort/group expressions using ressortgroupref labels instead of
depending entirely on equal()-ity of the upper node's tlist expressions
to the lower node's. This avoids emitting the wrong outputs in cases
where there are textually identical volatile sort/group expressions,
as for example
select distinct random(),random() from generate_series(1,10);
Per report from Andrew Gierth.
Backpatch to 8.4. Arguably this is wrong all the way back, but the only known
case where there's an observable problem is when using hash aggregation to
implement DISTINCT, which is new as of 8.4. So for the moment I'll refrain
from backpatching further.
mergejoin to shield it from doing mark/restore and refetches. Put an explicit
flag in MergePath so we can centralize the logic that knows about this,
and add costing logic that considers using Materialize even when it's not
forced by the previously-existing considerations. This is in response to
a discussion back in August that suggested that materializing an inner
indexscan can be helpful when the refetch percentage is high enough.
default be "throw error on conflict", as per discussions. The GUC variable
is plpgsql.variable_conflict, with values "error", "use_variable",
"use_column". The behavior can also be specified per-function by inserting
one of
#variable_conflict error
#variable_conflict use_variable
#variable_conflict use_column
at the start of the function body.
The 8.5 release notes will need to mention using "use_variable" to retain
backward-compatible behavior, although we should encourage people to migrate
to the much less mistake-prone "error" setting.
Update the plpgsql documentation to match this and other recent changes.

the base type of the domain. Per gripe by Tom Lane.
we need to check domain constraints. We used to do it correctly, but 8.4

the type of an empty ARRAY construct from the cast target, and forgot to take

Per discussion, this should result in defaulting to SQL_ASCII encoding.
The original coding could not support that because it conflated selection
of SQL_ASCII encoding with not being able to determine the encoding.
Adjust pg_get_encoding_from_locale()'s API to distinguish these cases,
and fix callers appropriately. Only initdb actually changes behavior,
since the other callers were perfectly content to consider these cases
equivalent.
Per bug #5178 from Boh Yap. Not going to bother back-patching, since
no one has complained before and there's an easy workaround (namely,
specify the encoding you want).
directly. This was a lot of trouble, but should be worth it in terms of
not having to keep the plpgsql lexer in step with core anymore. In addition
the handling of keywords is significantly better-structured, allowing us to
de-reserve a number of words that plpgsql formerly treated as reserved.
