test=> \copy billing_data from ../BillingSamplePricerFile.csv with csv
header quote as '"' null as 'abc' null as '123'
\copy: parse error at "null"
Per report from Stephen Frost
o Allow COPY in CSV mode to control whether a quoted zero-length
string is treated as NULL
Currently this is always treated as a zero-length string,
which generates an error when loading into an integer column
before it goes groveling through the ProcArray. In situations where the same
recently-committed transaction ID is checked repeatedly by tqual.c, this saves
a lot of shared-memory searches. And it's cheap enough that it shouldn't
hurt noticeably when it doesn't help.
Concept and patch by Simon, some minor tweaking and comment-cleanup by Tom.

This prevents compiler optimizations that assume overflow won't occur, which
breaks numerous overflow tests that we need to have working. It is known
that gcc 4.3 causes problems and possible that 4.1 does. Per my proposal
of some time ago and a recent report from Kris Jurka.
Backpatch as far as 8.0, which is as far as the patch conveniently goes.
7.x was pretty short of overflow tests anyway, so it may not matter there,
even assuming that anyone cares whether 7.x builds on recent gcc.
than dividing them into 1GB segments as has been our longtime practice. This
requires working support for large files in the operating system; at least for
the time being, it won't be the default.

variables to it. More need to be converted, but I wanted to get this in
before it conflicts with too much...
Other than just centralising the text-to-int conversion for parameters,
this allows the pg_settings view to contain a list of available options
and allows an error hint to show what values are allowed.
With the addition of multiple autovacuum workers, our choices were to delete
the check, document the interaction with autovacuum_max_workers, or complicate
the check to try to hide that interaction. Since this restriction has never
been adequate to ensure backends can't run out of pinnable buffers, it doesn't
really have enough excuse to live to justify the second or third choices.
Per discussion of a complaint from Andreas Kling (see also bug #3888).
This commit also removes several documentation references to this restriction,
but I'm not sure I got them all.
pattern-examination heuristic method to purely histogram-driven selectivity at
histogram size 100, we compute both estimates and use a weighted average.
The weight put on the heuristic estimate decreases linearly with histogram
size, dropping to zero for 100 or more histogram entries.
Likewise in ltreeparentsel(). After a patch by Greg Stark, though I
reorganized the logic a bit to give the caller of histogram_selectivity()
more control.
