cecf41bd29 Attached is the third version of my patch that adds/fixes several things
to/in the psql-tabcomplete code. This diff includes the still missing
tab-complete support for TABLESPACE I already sent earlier. New in this
version of the patch is a small adaption of the tab-complete code to
support the adjusted SAVEPOINT-Syntax commited by Tom, as well as
completion of the only half working (and I think only by accident)
tabcomplete-suppport for "BEGIN [ TRANSACTION | WORK ]".

below is a complete list of the things I have changed with this patch:


*) add tablespace support for CREATE/DROP/ALTER and \db
*) sync the list of possible commands following ALTER with the docs (by
adding
AGGREGATE,CONVERSATION,DOMAIN,FUNCTION,LANGUAGE,OPERATOR,SEQUENCE,TABLESPACE
and TYPE)
*) provide a list of valid users after "OWNER TO"
*) tab-complete support for ALTER (AGGREGATE|CONVERSION|FUNCTION)
*) basic tab-complete support for ALTER DOMAIN
*) provide a list of suitable indexes following ALTER TABLE <sth>
CLUSTER ON(?)
*) add "CLUSTER ON" and "SET" to the ALTER TABLE <sth> - tab-complete
list(fixes incorrect/wrong tab-complete with ALTER TABLE <sth> SET
+<TAB> too)
*) provide a list of possible indexes following ALTER TABLE <sth> CLUSTER ON
*) provide list of possible commands(WITHOUT CLUSTER,WITHOUT OIDS,
TABLESPACE) following ALTER TABLE <sth> SET
*) sync "COMMENT ON" with docs by adding "CAST","CONVERSION","FUNCTION"
*) add ABSOLUT to the list of possible commands after FETCH
*) "END" was missing from the sql-commands overview (though it had
completion support!) - i know it's depreciated but we have ABORT and
others still in ...
*) fixes small buglet with ALTER (TRIGGER|CLUSTER) ON autocomplete
(CLUSTER ON +<TAB> would produce CLUSTER ON ON - same for TRIGGER ON)
*) adapt to new SAVEPOINT syntax
*) fix incomplete Support for BEGIN [ TRANSACTION | WORK ]

1b5e0143b5 This patch allows pg_restore to recognize $-quotes in SQL queries. It
will treat any unquoted string that starts with a $ and has no preceding
identifier chars as a potential $-quote tag, it then makes sure that the
tag chars are valid. If so, it processes the $-quote.

Sigh... as usual, what is not tested does not work:-(


> Could we have a more complete patch?

Please find a submission attached. I hope it really fixes all decade,
century and millenium issues for extract and *_trunc functions on
interval
and other timestamp types. If someone could check that the results
are reasonnable, it would be great.

I indeed overlooked the fact that there were two functions. The patch
fixes the code so that both variants agree.

I added comments to interval extractions, because it relies on the C
division to have a negative remainder: -7/10 = 0 and remains -7.

As for *_trunc functions, I have chosen to put the first year of the
century or millennium: -100, 1, 101... 1001 2001 etc. Indeed, I don't
think it would make sense to put 2000 (last year of the 2nd millennium)
for rounding all years of the third millenium.

I also fixed the code so that all decades last 10 years and decade 199
means the 1990's.

I have added some tests that are relevant to deal with tricky cases. The
formula may be simplified, but all these cases must pass. Please keep
them.

bbd6eb5b95 Repair some issues with column aliases and RowExpr construction in the
presence of dropped columns.  Document the already-presumed fact that
eref aliases in relation RTEs are supposed to have entries for dropped
columns; cause the user alias structs to have such entries too, so that
there's always a one-to-one mapping to the underlying physical attnums.
Adjust expandRTE() and related code to handle the case where a column
that is part of a JOIN has been dropped.  Generalize expandRTE()'s API
so that it can be used in a couple of places that formerly rolled their
own implementation of the same logic.  Fix ruleutils.c to suppress
display of aliases for columns that were dropped since the rule was made.

19cd31b068 Fix bug introduced into _bt_getstackbuf() on 2003-Feb-21: the initial
value of 'start' could be past the end of the page, if the page was
split by some concurrent inserting process since we visited it.  In
this situation the code could look at bogus entries and possibly find
a match (since after all those entries still contain what they had
before the split).  This would lead to 'specified item offset is too large'
followed by 'PANIC: failed to add item to the page', as reported by Joe
Conway for scenarios involving heavy concurrent insertion activity.

fcaad7e2c1 Standardize on the assumption that the arguments of a RowExpr correspond
to the physical layout of the rowtype, ie, there are dummy arguments
corresponding to any dropped columns in the rowtype.  We formerly had a
couple of places that did it this way and several others that did not.
Fixes Gaetano Mendola's "cache lookup failed for type 0" bug of 5-Aug.

1a3de15a3a Dept. of further reflection: I looked around to see if any other callers
of XLogInsert had the same sort of checkpoint interlock problem as
RecordTransactionCommit, and indeed I found some.  Btree index build
and ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE write data outside the friendly confines
of the buffer manager, and therefore they have to take their own
responsibility for checkpoint interlock.  The easiest solution seems to
be to force smgrimmedsync at the end of the index build or table copy,
even when the operation is being WAL-logged.  This is sufficient since
the new index or table will be of interest to no one if we don't get
as far as committing the current transaction.
