Tom Lane	112d411fbe	Remove deprecated containment operators for contrib types. ... Since PG 8.2, @ and ~ have been deprecated aliases for the containment operators @> and <@. It seems like enough time has passed to actually remove them, so do so. This completes the project begun in commit 2f70fdb06. Note that in the core types, the relation to the preferred operator names was reversed from what it is in these contrib modules. The confusion that induced was a large part of the reason for deprecation. Justin Pryzby Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20201027032511.GF9241@telsasoft.com	4 years ago
Tom Lane	20e7e1fe31	Remove <@ from contrib/intarray's GiST operator classes. ... Since commit efc77cf5f, an indexed query using <@ has required a full-index scan, so that it actually performs worse than a plain seqscan would do. As I noted at the time, we'd be better off to not treat <@ as being indexable by such indexes at all; and that's what this patch does. It would have been difficult to remove these opclass members without dropping the whole opclass before commit 9f9682783 fixed GiST opclass member dependency rules, but now it's quite simple, so let's do it. I left the existing support code in place for the time being, with comments noting it's now unreachable. At some point, perhaps we should remove that code in favor of throwing an error telling people to upgrade the extension version.

Alexander Korotkov	911e702077	Implement operator class parameters ... PostgreSQL provides set of template index access methods, where opclasses have much freedom in the semantics of indexing. These index AMs are GiST, GIN, SP-GiST and BRIN. There opclasses define representation of keys, operations on them and supported search strategies. So, it's natural that opclasses may be faced some tradeoffs, which require user-side decision. This commit implements opclass parameters allowing users to set some values, which tell opclass how to index the particular dataset. This commit doesn't introduce new storage in system catalog. Instead it uses pg_attribute.attoptions, which is used for table column storage options but unused for index attributes. In order to evade changing signature of each opclass support function, we implement unified way to pass options to opclass support functions. Options are set to fn_expr as the constant bytea expression. It's possible due to the fact that opclass support functions are executed outside of expressions, so fn_expr is unused for them. This commit comes with some examples of opclass options usage. We parametrize signature length in GiST. That applies to multiple opclasses: tsvector_ops, gist__intbig_ops, gist_ltree_ops, gist__ltree_ops, gist_trgm_ops and gist_hstore_ops. Also we parametrize maximum number of integer ranges for gist__int_ops. However, the main future usage of this feature is expected to be json, where users would be able to specify which way to index particular json parts. Catversion is bumped.

Tom Lane	eb67623c96	Mark some contrib modules as "trusted". ... This allows these modules to be installed into a database without superuser privileges (assuming that the DBA or sysadmin has installed the module's files in the expected place). You only need CREATE privilege on the current database, which by default would be available to the database owner. The following modules are marked trusted: btree_gin btree_gist citext cube dict_int earthdistance fuzzystrmatch hstore hstore_plperl intarray isn jsonb_plperl lo ltree pg_trgm pgcrypto seg tablefunc tcn tsm_system_rows tsm_system_time unaccent uuid-ossp In the future we might mark some more modules trusted, but there seems to be no debate about these, and on the whole it seems wise to be conservative with use of this feature to start out with.

Tom Lane	749a787c5b	Handle contrib's GIN/GIST support function signature changes honestly. ... In commits 9ff60273e3 and dbe2328959 I (tgl) fixed the signatures of a bunch of contrib's GIN and GIST support functions so that they would pass validation by the recently-added amvalidate functions. The backend does not actually consult or check those signatures otherwise, so I figured this was basically cosmetic and did not require an extension version bump. However, Alexander Korotkov pointed out that that would leave us in a pretty messy situation if we ever wanted to redefine those functions later, because there wouldn't be a unique way to name them. Since we're going to be bumping these extensions' versions anyway for parallel-query cleanups, let's take care of this now. Andreas Karlsson, adjusted for more search-path-safety by me	9 years ago

Tom Lane	629b3af27d	Convert contrib modules to use the extension facility. ... This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the "foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK. But it's time to get some buildfarm cycles on it. sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to require a very nonstandard installation process.
