part that rounds up to exactly 1.0 second. The previous coding rejected input
like "00:12:57.9999999999999999999999999999", with the exact number of nines
needed to cause failure varying depending on float-timestamp option and
possibly on platform. Obviously this should round up to the next integral
second, if we don't have enough precision to distinguish the value from that.
Per bug #4789 from Robert Kruus.
In passing, fix a missed check for fractional seconds in one copy of the
"is it greater than 24:00:00" code.
Broken all the way back, so patch all the way back.
keyword lists in gram.y and kwlist.h. It checks that all lists are in
alphabetical order, and that all keywords present in gram.y are listed
in kwlist.h in the right category, and that all keywords in kwlist.h are
also in gram.y. What's still missing is to check that all keywords
defined with "%token <keyword>" in gram.y are present in one of the
keyword lists in gram.y.
PlaceHolderVar nodes in join quals appearing in or below the lowest
outer join that could null the subquery being pulled up. This improves
the planner's ability to recognize constant join quals, and probably
helps with detection of common sort keys (equivalence classes) as well.
than having some whitespace discrepancy. Although whitespace is supposed
to be ignored in our regression tests, for some reason buildfarm member
spoonbill doesn't like it.
aggregate function. By definition, such a sub-SELECT cannot reference any
variables of query levels between itself and the aggregate's semantic level
(else the aggregate would've been assigned to that lower level instead).
So the correct, most efficient implementation is to treat the sub-SELECT as
being a sub-select of that outer query level, not the level the aggregate
syntactically appears in. Not doing so also confuses the heck out of our
parameter-passing logic, as illustrated in bug report from Daniel Grace.
Fortunately, we were already copying the whole Aggref expression up to the
outer query level, so all that's needed is to delay SS_process_sublinks
processing of the sub-SELECT until control returns to the outer level.
This has been broken since we introduced spec-compliant treatment of
outer aggregates in 7.4; so patch all the way back.
"verify-ca" and "verify-full".
Since "prefer" remains the default, this will make certificate validation
off by default, which should lead to less upgrade issues.
Explain how vacuum_freeze_table_age should be tuned, and how it relates
to the other settings. Mention that vacuum_freeze_table_age also affects
when autovacuum scans the whole table.

As pointed out by Zdenek Kotala, and buildfarm member gothic moth.
documentation warnings against setting it nonzero unless active use of
prepared transactions is intended and a suitable transaction manager has been
installed. This should help to prevent the type of scenario we've seen
several times now where a prepared transaction is forgotten and eventually
causes severe maintenance problems (or even anti-wraparound shutdown).
The only real reason we had the default be nonzero in the first place was to
support regression testing of the feature. To still be able to do that,
tweak pg_regress to force a nonzero value during "make check". Since we
cannot force a nonzero value in "make installcheck", add a variant regression
test "expected" file that shows the results that will be obtained when
max_prepared_transactions is zero.
Also, extend the HINT messages for transaction wraparound warnings to mention
the possibility that old prepared transactions are causing the problem.
All per today's discussion.
using the system functions all the time. (These files are now just copies
of the osf.* files.) The homebrew functions were not getting used anyway
on AIX versions that have dlopen(), that is 4.3 and up, so they are not
needed on any AIX that is even remotely supported by the vendor anymore.
We'd have probably left them here anyway, except some questions were
raised about the copyright.
fact that this is breaking the MSVC build, it's probably not really a good
idea to expand the dependencies of gram.h any further than the core parser;
for instance the value of SCONST might depend on which bison version you'd
built with. Better to expose an additional call point in parser.c, so
move what I had put into pl_funcs.c into parser.c. Also PGDLLIMPORT'ify
the reference to standard_conforming_strings, per buildfarm results.
Stefan Kaltenbrunner. The most reasonable behavior (at least for the near
term) seems to be to ignore the PlaceHolderVar and examine its argument
instead. In support of this, change the API of pull_var_clause() to allow
callers to request recursion into PlaceHolderVars. Currently
estimate_num_groups() is the only customer for that behavior, but where
there's one there may be others.
more nearly matching the core SQL scanner. The user-visible effects are:
* Block comments (slash-star comments) now nest, as per SQL spec.
* In standard_conforming_strings mode, backslash as the last character of a
non-E string literal is now correctly taken as an ordinary character;
formerly it was misinterpreted as escaping the ending quote. (Since the
string also had to pass through the core scanner, this invariably led
to syntax errors.)
* Formerly, backslashes in the format string of RAISE were always treated as
quoting the next character, regardless of mode. Now, they are ordinary
characters with standard_conforming_strings on, while with it off, they
introduce the same set of escapes as in the core SQL scanner. Also,
escape_string_warning is now effective for RAISE format strings. These
changes make RAISE format strings work just like any other string literal.
This is implemented by copying and pasting a lot of logic from the core
scanner. It would be a good idea to look into getting rid of plpgsql's
scanner entirely in favor of using the core scanner. However, that involves
more change than I can justify making during beta --- in particular, the core
scanner would have to become re-entrant.
In passing, remove the kluge that made the plpgsql scanner emit T_FUNCTION or
T_TRIGGER as a made-up first token. That presumably had some value once upon
a time, but now it's just useless complication for both the scanner and the
grammar.
etc are no longer guaranteed to produce sorted output; per gripe from Ian
Barwick. Also improve the release note entries about to_timestamp(), per
Brendan Jurd.
constants through full joins, as in
select * from tenk1 a full join tenk1 b using (unique1)
where unique1 = 42;
which should generate a fairly cheap plan where we apply the constraint
unique1 = 42 in each relation scan. This had been broken by my patch of
2008-06-27, which is now reverted in favor of a more invasive but hopefully
less incorrect approach. That patch was meant to prevent incorrect extraction
of OR'd indexclauses from OR conditions above an outer join. To do that
correctly we need more information than the outerjoin_delay flag can provide,
so add a nullable_relids field to RestrictInfo that records exactly which
relations are nulled by outer joins that are underneath a particular qual
clause. A side benefit is that we can make the test in create_or_index_quals
more specific: it is now smart enough to extract an OR'd indexclause into the
outer side of an outer join, even though it must not do so in the inner side.
The old coding couldn't distinguish these cases so it could not do either.
