048efc25e4 Disallow scrolling of FOR UPDATE/FOR SHARE cursors, so as to avoid problems
in corner cases such as re-fetching a just-deleted row.  We may be able to
relax this someday, but let's find out how many people really care before
we invest a lot of work in it.  Per report from Heikki and subsequent
discussion.

While in the neighborhood, make the combination of INSENSITIVE and FOR UPDATE
throw an error, since they are semantically incompatible.  (Up to now we've
accepted but just ignored the INSENSITIVE option of DECLARE CURSOR.)

745c1b2c2a Rearrange vacuum-related bits in PGPROC as a bitmask, to better support
having several of them.  Add two more flags: whether the process is
executing an ANALYZE, and whether a vacuum is for Xid wraparound (which
is obviously only set by autovacuum).

Sneakily move the worker's recently-acquired PostAuthDelay to a more useful
place.

3ef18797b8 Fix an error in make_outerjoininfo introduced by my patch of 30-Aug: the code
neglected to test whether an outer join's join-condition actually refers to
the lower outer join it is looking at.  (The comment correctly described what
was supposed to happen, but the code didn't do it...)  This often resulted in
adding an unnecessary constraint on the join order of the two outer joins,
which was bad enough.  However, it also seems to expose a performance
problem in an older patch (from 15-Feb): once we've decided that there is a
join ordering constraint, we will start trying clauseless joins between every
combination of rels within the constraint, which pointlessly eats up lots of
time and space if there are numerous rels below the outer join.  That probably
needs to be revisited :-(.  Per gripe from Jakub Ouhrabka.

2627c83561 Minor changes to autovacuum worker: change error handling so that it continues
with the next table on schedule instead of exiting, in all cases instead of
just on query cancel.

Add a errcontext() line indicating the activity of the worker to the error
message when it is cancelled.

Change the WorkerInfo struct to contain a pointer to the worker's PGPROC
instead of just the PID.

Add forgotten post-auth delays, per Simon Riggs.  Also to autovac launcher.

c29a9c37bf Fix UPDATE/DELETE WHERE CURRENT OF to support repeated update and update-
then-delete on the current cursor row.  The basic fix is that nodeTidscan.c
has to apply heap_get_latest_tid() to the current-scan-TID obtained from the
cursor query; this ensures we get the latest row version to work with.
However, since that only works if the query plan is a TID scan, we also have
to hack the planner to make sure only that type of plan will be selected.
(Formerly, the planner might decide to apply a seqscan if the table is very
small.  This change is probably a Good Thing anyway, since it's hard to see
how a seqscan could really win.)  That means the execQual.c code to support
CurrentOfExpr as a regular expression type is dead code, so replace it with
just an elog().  Also, add regression tests covering these cases.  Note
that the added tests expose the fact that re-fetching an updated row
misbehaves if the cursor used FOR UPDATE.  That's an independent bug that
should be fixed later.  Per report from Dharmendra Goyal.

1c92724985 Set read_only = TRUE while evaluating input queries for ts_rewrite()
and ts_stat(), per my recent suggestion.  Also add a possibly-not-needed-
but-can't-hurt check for NULL SPI_tuptable, before we try to dereference
same.

592c88a0d2 Remove the aggregate form of ts_rewrite(), since it doesn't work as desired
if there are zero rows to aggregate over, and the API seems both conceptually
and notationally ugly anyway.  We should look for something that improves
on the tsquery-and-text-SELECT version (which is also pretty ugly but at
least it works...), but it seems that will take query infrastructure that
doesn't exist today.  (Hm, I wonder if there's anything in or near SQL2003
window functions that would help?)  Per discussion.

dbaec70c15 Rename and slightly redefine the default text search parser's "word"
categories, as per discussion.  asciiword (formerly lword) is still
ASCII-letters-only, and numword (formerly word) is still the most general
mixed-alpha-and-digits case.  But word (formerly nlword) is now
any-group-of-letters-with-at-least-one-non-ASCII, rather than all-non-ASCII as
before.  This is no worse than before for parsing mixed Russian/English text,
which seems to have been the design center for the original coding; and it
should simplify matters for parsing most European languages.  In particular
it will not be necessary for any language to accept strings containing digits
as being regular "words".  The hyphenated-word categories are adjusted
similarly.

344d0cae64 Use snprintf instead of wsprintf, and use getenv("APPDATA") instead of
SHGetFolderPath.

This removes the direct dependency on shell32.dll and user32.dll, which
eats a lot of "desktop heap" for each backend that's started. The
desktop heap is a very limited resource, causing backends to no
longer start once it's been exhausted.

We still have indirect depdendencies on user32.dll through third party
libraries, but those can't easily be removed.

12f25e70a6 Fix two-argument form of ts_rewrite() so it actually works for cases where

bb36c51fcd Fix several bugs in tsvectorin, including crash due to uninitialized field and
miscomputation of required palloc size.  The crash could only occur if the
input contained lexemes both with and without positions, which is probably not
common in practice.  The miscomputation would definitely result in wasted
space.  Also fix some inconsistent coding around alignment of strings and
positions in a tsvector value; these errors could also lead to crashes given
mixed with/without position data and a machine that's picky about alignment.
And be more careful about checking for overflow of string offsets.

Patch is only against HEAD --- I have not looked to see if same bugs are
in back-branch contrib/tsearch2 code.

3e17ef1cfa Adjust ts_debug's output as per my proposal of yesterday: show the
active dictionary and its output lexemes as separate columns, instead
of smashing them into one text column, and lowercase the column names.
Also, define the output rowtype using OUT parameters instead of a
composite type, to be consistent with the other built-in functions.

f1c87830b5 Add a useless return statement to suppress a warning seen with some
versions of gcc (I'm seeing it with Apple's gcc 4.0.1).  I think the
reason we did not see this before was that the assert() macros in the
regex code were all no-ops till recently.

638bd34f89 Found another small glitch in tsearch API: the two versions of ts_lexize()
are really redundant, since we invented a regdictionary alias type.
We can have just one function, declared as taking regdictionary, and
it will handle both behaviors.  Noted while working on documentation.

56303abff0 Tweak toast-related logic in heapam.c so that the toaster is only invoked
when relkind = RELKIND_RELATION.  This syncs these tests with the Asserts
in tuptoaster.c, and ensures that we won't ever try to, for example,
compress a sequence's tuple.  Problem found by Greg Stark while stress-testing
with much-smaller-than-normal page sizes.
