38c4fe87ac Significantly improve ranking:
1) rank_cd now use weight of lexemes
2) rank_cd and rank can use any combination of normalization methods:
        no normalization
        normalization by log(length of document)
        -----/------- by length of document
        -----/------- by number of unique word in document
        -----/------- by log(number of unique word in document)
        -----/------- by number of covers (only rank_cd)

Improve cover's search.

fa7f6ff0db Fix possible crash at transaction end when a plpgsql function is used and
then modified within the same transaction.  The code was using a linked list
of active PLpgSQL_expr structs, which was OK when it was written because
plpgsql never released any parse data structures for the life of the backend.
But since Neil fixed plpgsql's memory management, elements of the linked list
could be freed, leading to crash when the list is chased.  Per report and test
case from Kris Jurka.

181f55e5fb Fix up pg_dump to emit shell-type definitions at the proper time, to
make use of the recently added ability to create a shell type explicitly.

I also put in place some infrastructure to allow dump/no dump decisions
to be made separately for each database object, rather than the former
hardwired 'dump if in a dumpable schema' policy.  This was needed anyway
for shell types so now seemed a convenient time to do it.  The flexibility
isn't exposed to the user yet, but is ready for future extensions.

0d9742f99a Attached is a patch that replaces a bunch of places where StringInfos
are unnecessarily allocated on the heap rather than the stack. If the
StringInfo doesn't outlive the stack frame in which it is created,
there is no need to allocate it on the heap via makeStringInfo() --
stack allocation is faster.  While it's not a big deal unless the
code is in a critical path, I don't see a reason not to save a few
cycles -- using stack allocation is not less readable.

I also cleaned up a bit of code along the way: moved variable
declarations into a more tightly-enclosing scope where possible,
fixed some pointless copying of strings in dblink, etc.

8e5a10d46c This patch makes the error message strings throughout the backend
more compliant with the error message style guide. In particular,
errdetail should begin with a capital letter and end with a period,
whereas errmsg should not. I also fixed a few related issues in
passing, such as fixing the repeated misspelling of "lexeme" in
contrib/tsearch2 (per Tom's suggestion).

8e68d78390 Allow the syntax CREATE TYPE foo, with no parameters, to permit explicit
creation of a shell type.  This allows a less hacky way of dealing with
the mutual dependency between a datatype and its I/O functions: make a
shell type, then make the functions, then define the datatype fully.
We should fix pg_dump to handle things this way, but this commit just deals
with the backend.

Martijn van Oosterhout, with some corrections by Tom Lane.

87daae1143 Allow PL/Python functions to return void, per gripe from James Robinson
(I didn't use his patch, however). A void-returning PL/Python function
must return None (from Python), which is translated into a void datum
(and *not* NULL) for Postgres. I also added some regression tests for
this functionality.

d2c555ee53 Teach nodeSort and nodeMaterial to optimize out unnecessary overhead
when the passed-down eflags indicate they can.

Tom Lane
2c0ef9777c Extend the ExecInitNode API so that plan nodes receive a set of flag
bits indicating which optional capabilities can actually be exercised
at runtime.  This will allow Sort and Material nodes, and perhaps later
other nodes, to avoid unnecessary overhead in common cases.
This commit just adds the infrastructure and arranges to pass the correct
flag values down to plan nodes; none of the actual optimizations are here
yet.  I'm committing this separately in case anyone wants to measure the
added overhead.  (It should be negligible.)

909ca1407c Improve sorting speed by pre-extracting the first sort-key column of
each tuple, as per my proposal of several days ago.  Also, clean up
sort memory management by keeping all working data in a separate memory
context, and refine the handling of low-memory conditions.

f33d3bc0bf TODO updates:
- "Add ON COMMIT capability to CREATE TABLE AS ... SELECT" is done

- "Allow PREPARE to automatically determine parameter types" is done

- "Clean up compiler warnings (especially with gcc version 4)" is done:
  AFAIK there are no remaining gcc4 compiler warnings to be fixed.

- Creating rules to do view updates is *not* an easy TODO item

268c1b6077 The Makefile was invoking perl scripts as ./script.pl. This fails when
the script is not executable as UCS_to_most.pl is in CVS.  It also won't
pick up any custom setting of the perl version/location to use.  This
patch calls perl scripts like $(PERL) $(srcdir)/script.pl.

737651f6be Cleanup the usage of ScanDirection: use the symbolic names for the
possible ScanDirection alternatives rather than magic numbers
(-1, 0, 1).  Also, use the ScanDirection macros in a few places
rather than directly checking whether `dir == ForwardScanDirection'
and the like. Per patch from James William Pye. His patch also
changed ScanDirection to be a "char" rather than an enum, which
I haven't applied.

3666260ffd Fix old pg_dump oversight: default values for domains really need to be dumped
by decompiling the typdefaultbin expression, not just printing the typdefault
text which may be out-of-date or assume the wrong schema search path.  (It's
the same hazard as for adbin vs adsrc in column defaults.)  The catalogs.sgml
spec for pg_type implies that the correct procedure is to look to
typdefaultbin first and consider typdefault only if typdefaultbin is NULL.
I made dumping of both domains and base types do that, even though in the
current backend code typdefaultbin is always correct for domains and
typdefault for base types --- might as well try to future-proof it a little.
Per bug report from Alexander Galler.

45594a6859 Fix three Python reference leaks in PLy_traceback(). This would result
in leaking memory when invoking a PL/Python procedure that raises an
exception. Unfortunately this still leaks memory, but at least the
largest leak has been plugged.

This patch also fixes a reference counting mistake in PLy_modify_tuple()
for 8.0, 8.1 and HEAD: we don't actually own a reference to `platt', so
we shouldn't Py_DECREF() it.
