cef8efc62d Don't use OidIsValid to check the return value of transformGenericOptions,
because transformGenericOptions returns an array, not an Oid. I'm not
sure if this fixes the crashes seen in buildfarm, but it should be fixed
anyway.

ea7d5199e5 Add a new column proiswindow to pg_proc. It doesn't actually do anything
useful yet, but I'm tired of re-merging this aspect of the window functions

cae565e503 SQL/MED catalog manipulation facilities
This doesn't do any remote or external things yet, but it gives modules
like plproxy and dblink a standardized and future-proof system for
managing their connection information.

1eec10a2de Have psql's \d+ print reloptions. Extracted from Euler Taveira de Oliveira's
reloptions patch for autovacuum and revised by me.

Note that there doesn't seem to be a way to display an index's reloptions.

adac22bf8a When we added the ability to have zero-element ARRAY[] constructs by adding an
explicit cast to show the intended array type, we forgot to teach ruleutils.c
to print out such constructs properly.  Found by noting bogus output from
recent changes in polymorphism regression test.

4ac592be6c Fix oversight in my recent patch to allow ExecMakeFunctionResult to handle
materialize-mode set results.  Since it now uses the ReturnSetInfo node
to hold internal state, we need to be sure to set up the node even when
the immediately called function doesn't return set (but does have a set-valued
argument).  Per report from Anupama Aherrao.

dcf8409985 Don't reset pg_class.reltuples and relpages in VACUUM, if any pages were
skipped. We could update relpages anyway, but it seems better to only
update it together with reltuples, because we use the reltuples/relpages
ratio in the planner. Also don't update n_live_tuples in pgstat.

ANALYZE in VACUUM ANALYZE now needs to update pg_class, if the
VACUUM-phase didn't do so. Added some boolean-passing to let analyze_rel
know if it should update pg_class or not.

I also moved the relcache invalidation (to update rd_targblock) from
vac_update_relstats to where RelationTruncate is called, because
vac_update_relstats is not called for partial vacuums anymore. It's more
obvious to send the invalidation close to the truncation that requires it.

Per report by Ned T. Crigler.

5a90bc1fbe The attached patch contains a couple of fixes in the existing probes and
includes a few new ones.

- Fixed compilation errors on OS X for probes that use typedefs
- Fixed a number of probes to pass ForkNumber per the relation forks
patch
- The new probes are those that were taken out from the previous
submitted patch and required simple fixes. Will submit the other probes
that may require more discussion in a separate patch.

fc3297d828 Make heap_update() set newtup->t_tableOid correctly, for consistency with
the other major heapam.c functions.  The only known consequence of this
omission is that UPDATE RETURNING failed to return the correct value for
"tableoid", as per report from KaiGai Kohei.

Back-patch to 8.2.  Arguably it's wrong all the way back; but without
evidence of visible breakage before RETURNING was added, I'll desist from
patching the older branches.

66bb74dbe8 Arrange for the pg_foo_is_visible and has_foo_privilege families of functions
to return NULL, instead of erroring out, if the target object is specified by
OID and we can't find that OID in the catalogs.  Since these functions operate
internally on SnapshotNow rules, there is a race condition when using them
in user queries: the query's MVCC snapshot might "see" a catalog row that's
already committed dead, leading to a failure when the inquiry function is
applied.  Returning NULL should generally provide more convenient behavior.
This issue has been complained of before, and in particular we are now seeing
it in the regression tests due to another recent patch.

301194f8ea Reduce the scaling factor for attstattarget to number-of-lexemes from 100
to 10, to compensate for the recent change in default statistics target.
The original number was pulled out of the air anyway :-(, but it was picked
in the context of the old default, so holding the default size of the
MCELEM array constant seems the best thing.  Per discussion.

b4d64a6d48 Remove our dependencies on MB_CUR_MAX in favor of believing that
pg_database_encoding_max_length() predicts the maximum character length
returned by wchar2char().  Per Hiroshi Inoue, MB_CUR_MAX isn't usable on
Windows because we allow encoding = UTF8 when the locale says differently;
and getting rid of it seems a good idea on general principles because it
narrows our dependence on libc's locale API just a little bit more.

Also install a check for overflow of the buffer size computation.

a9d5f30be3 Restore enforce_generic_type_consistency's pre-8.3 behavior of allowing an
actual argument type of ANYARRAY to match an argument declared ANYARRAY,
so long as ANYELEMENT etc aren't used.  I had overlooked the fact that this
is a possible case while fixing bug #3852; but it is possible because
pg_statistic contains columns declared ANYARRAY.  Per gripe from Corey Horton.

b8753e5955 Replace both send and receive BIO routines in the SSL code with our own,

65e3ea7641 Increase the default value of default_statistics_target from 10 to 100,

b69bde7749 Remove pg_plan_queries()'s now-useless needSnapshot parameter. It's useless
in 8.3, too, but I'm not back-patching this change since it would break any
extension modules that might be calling that function.

c98a923786 Fix failure to ensure that a snapshot is available to datatype input functions
when they are invoked by the parser.  We had been setting up a snapshot at
plan time but really it needs to be done earlier, before parse analysis.
Per report from Dmitry Koterov.

Also fix two related problems discovered while poking at this one:
exec_bind_message called datatype input functions without establishing a
snapshot, and SET CONSTRAINTS IMMEDIATE could call trigger functions without
establishing a snapshot.

Backpatch to 8.2.  The underlying problem goes much further back, but it is
masked in 8.1 and before because we didn't attempt to invoke domain check
constraints within datatype input.  It would only be exposed if a C-language
datatype input function used the snapshot; which evidently none do, or we'd
have heard complaints sooner.  Since this code has changed a lot over time,
a back-patch is hardly risk-free, and so I'm disinclined to patch further
than absolutely necessary.

55368223cd Tweak the tree descent loop in fsm_search_avail to not look at the
