24614a9880 Upgrade ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN so that it can drop an OID column, and
remove separate implementation of ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS in favor
of doing a regular DROP.  Also, cause CREATE TABLE to account completely
correctly for the inheritance status of the OID column.  This fixes
problems with dropping OID columns that have dependencies, as noted by
Christopher Kings-Lynne, as well as making sure that you can't drop an
OID column that was inherited from a parent.

ee455f81a5 fflush() FILE buffer to descriptor so stat call gets proper size in fseeko.c.
Fixed problem with pg_dump tar backups.  Only happens on platforms that
use our port/fseeko.c, which is currently BSD/OS and NetBSD.

2e45c143ef Replace the virtual_host and tcpip_socket parameters with a unified
listen_addresses parameter, as per recent discussion.  The default behavior
is now to listen on localhost, which eliminates the need for the -i
postmaster switch in many scenarios.

0d88dd1e50 Before deciding we can use a socket for statistics collection, test to
ensure that it actually passes data.  This catches cases such as a kernel
packet filter rule that makes the socket useless.

2678395928 In working through a pg_autovacuum problem with Joe Conway (which turned
out to be the same problem reported by Cott Lang which the previous
patch resolved) a new bug was uncovered when running with a debug level
of greater than 1.

This patch resolves this new found bug and fixes some of the other
debugging output to be more consistent.

Please apply to both HEAD and the 7.4 branch.

3ceda5eab3 I just noticed that \dp outputs "Table" to indicate relations (tables,
sequences and views).  This patch allows it to handle views and
sequences.

05649b88c7 Rewrite pg_dump's comment-dumping code to pull over all the comments
in one query, rather than making a separate query for each object that
could have a comment.  This costs relatively little space (a few tens of
K typically) and saves substantial time in databases with many objects.
I find it reduces the runtime of 'pg_dump -s regression' by about a
third.

0fdc6c4cc0 Create a validator for plpgsql, so that some minimal syntax checking
is done at creation time for plpgsql functions.  Improve createlang and
droplang to support adding/dropping validators for PLs.  Initial steps
towards producing a syntax error position from plpgsql syntax errors
(this part is a work in progress, and will change depending on outcome
of current discussions).

74ffc77279 Code review for log_line_prefix patch. Cooperate with StringInfo instead
of fighting it, avoid hard-wired (and wrong) assumption about max length
of prefix, cause %l to actually work as documented, don't compute data
we may not need.

fbac1272b8 During btree index build, sort equal-keyed tuples according to their
TID (heap position).  This doesn't do anything to the validity of the
finished index, but by pretending to qsort() that there are no really
equal keys in the sort, we can avoid performance problems with qsort
implementations that have trouble with large numbers of equal keys.
Patch from Manfred Koizar.

55f7c3300d Reimplement CASE val WHEN compval1 THEN ... WHEN compval2 THEN ... END
so that the 'val' is computed only once, per recent discussion.  The
speedup is not much when 'val' is just a simple variable, but could be
significant for larger expressions.  More importantly this avoids issues
with multiple evaluations of a volatile 'val', and it allows the CASE
expression to be reverse-listed in its original form by ruleutils.c.

c1352052ef Replace the switching function ExecEvalExpr() with a macro that jumps
directly to the appropriate per-node execution function, using a function
pointer stored by ExecInitExpr.  This speeds things up by eliminating one
level of function call.  The function-pointer technique also enables further
small improvements such as only making one-time tests once (and then
changing the function pointer).  Overall this seems to gain about 10%
on evaluation of simple expressions, which isn't earthshaking but seems
a worthwhile gain for a relatively small hack.  Per recent discussion
on pghackers.

8526f537cc The "cvs add" of test_thread_implicit.pgc seems to have been missed,
i've attached this again.

Additionally I include a small patch to remove mutex locking when a
DEFAULT/NULL connection is being retrieved. This is consistent with
libpq.
