In commit 45e02e3232, we intentionally
disallowed updates on individual elements of oidvector columns. While that
still seems like a sane idea in the abstract, we (I) forgot that citext's
"upgrade from unpackaged" script did in fact perform exactly such updates,
in order to fix the problem that citext indexes should have a collation
but would not in databases dumped or upgraded from pre-9.1 installations.
Even if we wanted to add casts to allow such updates, there's no practical
way to do so in the back branches, so the only real alternative is to make
citext's kluge even klugier. In this patch, I cast the oidvector to text,
fix its contents with regexp_replace, and cast back to oidvector. (Ugh!)
Since the aforementioned commit went into all active branches, we have to
fix this in all branches that contain the now-broken update script.
Per report from Eric Malm.
Some of the many error messages introduced in 458857cc missed 'FROM
unpackaged'. Also e016b724 and 45ffeb7e forgot to quote extension
version numbers.
Backpatch to 9.1, just like 458857cc which introduced the messages. Do
so because the error messages thrown when the wrong command is copy &
pasted aren't easy to understand.
Prominent binaries already had this metadata. A handful of minor
binaries, such as pg_regress.exe, still lack it; efforts to eliminate
such exceptions are welcome.

Because of gcc -Wmissing-prototypes, all functions in dynamically
loadable modules must have a separate prototype declaration. This is
meant to detect global functions that are not declared in header files,
but in cases where the function is called via dfmgr, this is redundant.
Besides filling up space with boilerplate, this is a frequent source of
compiler warnings in extension modules.
We can fix that by creating the function prototype as part of the
PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1 macro, which such modules have to use anyway. That
makes the code of modules cleaner, because there is one less place where
the entry points have to be listed, and creates an additional check that
functions have the right prototype.
Remove now redundant prototypes from contrib and other modules.
Testing convert_to(..., 'ISO-8859-1') fails if there isn't a conversion
function available from the database encoding to ISO-8859-1. This has
been broken since day one, but the breakage was hidden by
pg_do_encoding_conversion's failure to complain, up till commit
49c817eab7.
Since the data being converted in this test is plain ASCII, no actual
conversion need happen (and if it did, it would prove little about citext
anyway). So that we still have some code coverage of the convert() family
of functions, let's switch to using convert_from, with SQL_ASCII as the
specified source encoding. Per buildfarm.
REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY was broken for any matview
containing a column of a type without a default btree operator
class. It also did not produce results consistent with a non-
concurrent REFRESH or a normal view if any column was of a type
which allowed user-visible differences between values which
compared as equal according to the type's default btree opclass.
Concurrent matview refresh was modified to use the new operators
to solve these problems.
Documentation was added for record comparison, both for the
default btree operator class for record, and the newly added
operators. Regression tests now check for proper behavior both
for a matview with a box column and a matview containing a citext
column.

We previously recognized that citext wouldn't get marked as collatable
during pg_upgrade from a pre-9.1 installation, and hacked its
create-from-unpackaged script to manually perform the necessary catalog
adjustments. However, we overlooked the fact that domains over citext,
as well as the citext[] array type, need the same adjustments. Extend
the script to handle those cases.
Also, the documentation suggested that this was only an issue in pg_upgrade
scenarios, which is quite wrong; loading any dump containing citext from a
pre-9.1 server will also result in the type being wrongly marked.
I approached the documentation problem by changing the 9.1.2 release note
paragraphs about this issue, which is historically inaccurate. But it
seems better than having the information scattered in multiple places, and
leaving incorrect info in the 9.1.2 notes would be bad anyway. We'll still
need to mention the issue again in the 9.1.4 notes, but perhaps they can
just reference 9.1.2 for fix instructions.
Per report from Evan Carroll. Back-patch into 9.1.
If the existing citext type has not merely been created, but used in any
tables, then the upgrade script wasn't doing enough. We have to update
attcollation for each citext table column, and indcollation for each citext
index column, as well. Per report from Rudolf van der Leeden.
We have seen one too many reports of people trying to use 9.1 extension
files in the old-fashioned way of sourcing them in psql. Not only does
that usually not work (due to failure to substitute for MODULE_PATHNAME
and/or @extschema@), but if it did work they'd get a collection of loose
objects not an extension. To prevent this, insert an \echo ... \quit
line that prints a suitable error message into each extension script file,
and teach commands/extension.c to ignore lines starting with \echo.
That should not only prevent any adverse consequences of loading a script
file the wrong way, but make it crystal clear to users that they need to
do it differently now.
Tom Lane, following an idea of Andrew Dunstan's. Back-patch into 9.1
... there is not going to be much value in this if we wait till 9.2.
This is an ugly hack to get around the fact that significant parts of the
core backend assume they don't need to worry about passing collation to
equality and hashing functions. That's true for the core string datatypes,
but citext should ideally have equality behavior that depends on the
specified collation's LC_CTYPE. However, there's no chance of fixing the
core before 9.2, so we'll have to live with this compromise arrangement for
now. Per bug #6053 from Regina Obe.
The code changes in this commit should be reverted in full once the core
code is up to speed, but be careful about reverting the docs changes:
I fixed a number of obsolete statements while at it.
Added a new option --extra-install to pg_regress to arrange installing
the respective contrib directory into the temporary installation.
This is currently not yet supported for Windows MSVC builds.
Updated the .gitignore files for contrib modules to ignore the
leftovers of a temp-install check run.
Changed the exit status of "make check" in a pgxs build (which still
does nothing) to 0 from 1.
Added "make check" in contrib to top-level "make check-world".
Although there remains some debate about how CREATE TYPE should represent
the collation property, this doesn't really affect what we need to do in
citext's script, so go ahead and fix that.
It was never terribly consistent to use OR REPLACE (because of the lack of
comparable functionality for data types, operators, etc), and
experimentation shows that it's now positively pernicious in the extension
world. We really want a failure to occur if there are any conflicts, else
it's unclear what the extension-ownership state of the conflicted object
ought to be. Most of the time, CREATE EXTENSION will fail anyway because
of conflicts on other object types, but an extension defining only
functions can succeed, with bad results.
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.

This adds collation support for columns and domains, a COLLATE clause
to override it per expression, and B-tree index support.

of the STRING type category, thereby opening up the mechanism for user-defined
types. This is mainly for the benefit of citext, though; there aren't likely
to be a lot of types that are all general-purpose character strings.
Per discussion with David Wheeler.
by putting it into the standard string category, we cause casts from citext
to text to be recognized as "preferred" casts. This eliminates the need
for creation of alias functions and operators that only serve to prevent
ambiguous-function errors; get rid of the ones that were in the original
commit.
