If we revoke a grant option from some role X, but X still holds the option
via another grant, we should not recursively revoke the privilege from
role(s) Y that X had granted it to. This was supposedly fixed as one
aspect of commit 4b2dafcc0b, but I must not
have tested it, because in fact that code never worked: it forgot to shift
the grant-option bits back over when masking the bits being revoked.
Per bug #6728 from Daniel German. Back-patch to all active branches,
since this has been wrong since 8.0.
As of 9.2, constraint exclusion should work okay with prepared statements:
the planner will try custom plans with actual values of the parameters,
and observe that they are a lot cheaper than the generic plan, and thus
never fall back to using the generic plan. Noted by Tatsuhito Kasahara.
The docs claimed that this mode only waits for the standby to receive WAL
data, but actually it waits for the data to be written out to the standby's
OS; which is a pretty significant difference because it removes the risk of
crash of the walreceiver process.
There was a hack put into install-sh to call strip with the correct
options on Mac OS X. But that never worked, because configure
disabled stripping on that platform altogether. So remove that dead
code, and while we're at it, update install-sh to the latest upstream
source (from Automake).
Instead, set up the right strip options in programs.m4, so this now
actually works the way it was originally intended.
This improves on commit 51fed14d73 by
eliminating the assumption that we can form <some pointer value> +
<some offset> without overflow. The entire point of those tests is that
we don't trust the offset value, so coding them in a way that could wrap
around if the buffer happens to be near the top of memory doesn't seem
sound. Instead, track the remaining space as a size_t variable and
compare offsets against that.
Also, improve comment about why we need the extra early check on
xl_tot_len.
If a view has circular dependencies, pg_dump splits it into a CREATE TABLE
and a CREATE RULE command to break the dependency loop. However, if the
view has reloptions, those options cannot be applied in the CREATE TABLE
command, because views and tables have different allowed reloptions so
CREATE TABLE would reject them. Instead apply the reloptions after the
CREATE RULE, using ALTER VIEW SET.
Move discussion of why our algorithm for taking snapshots in recovery
to a more appropriate location in the function, and delete incorrect
mention of taking a lock.
When elevel >= ERROR, we add an abort() call to the ereport() macro to
give the compiler a hint that the ereport() expansion will not return,
but the abort() isn't actually reached because the longjmp happens in
errfinish().
Because the effect of ereport() varies with the elevel, we cannot use
standard compiler attributes such as noreturn for this.
Extraction of trigrams did not process LIKE escape sequences properly,
leading to possible misidentification of trigrams near escapes, resulting
in incorrect index search results.

If a WAL record header was split across pages, but xl_tot_len was 0, we
would get confused and conclude that we had already read the whole record,
and proceed to CRC check it. That can lead to a crash in RecordIsValid(),
which isn't careful to not read beyond end-of-record, as defined by
xl_tot_len.
Add an explicit sanity check for xl_tot_len <= SizeOfXlogRecord. Also,
make RecordIsValid() more robust by checking in each step that it doesn't
try to access memory beyond end of record, even if a length field in the
record's or a backup block's header is bogus.
Per report and analysis by Tom Lane.
Formerly, subquery pullup had no need to examine other entries in the range
table, since they could not contain any references to the subquery being
pulled up. That's no longer true with LATERAL, so now we need to be able
to visit rangetable subexpressions to replace Vars referencing the
pulled-up subquery. Also, this means that extract_lateral_references must
be unsurprised at encountering lateral PlaceHolderVars, since such might be
created when pulling up a subquery that's underneath an outer join with
respect to the lateral reference.
We had put a test for libxml2's xmlStructuredErrorContext variable in
configure, but of course that doesn't work on Windows builds. The next
best alternative seems to be to test the LIBXML_VERSION symbol provided
by xmlversion.h.
Per report from Talha Bin Rizwan, though this fixes it in a different way
than his proposed patch.
In the initial cut at the "parameterized paths" feature, I'd simplified
create_index_paths() to the point where it would only generate a single
parameterized bitmap path per relation. Experimentation with an example
supplied by Josh Berkus convinces me that that's not good enough: we really
need to consider a bitmap path for each possible outer relation. Otherwise
we have regressions relative to pre-9.2 versions, in which the planner
picks a plain indexscan where it should have used a bitmap scan in queries
involving three or more tables. Indeed, after fixing this, several queries
in the regression tests show improved plans as a result of using bitmap not
plain indexscans.
The implementation is a quad-tree, largely copied from the quad-tree
implementation for points. The lower and upper bound of ranges are the 2d
coordinates, with some extra code to handle empty ranges.
I left out the support for adjacent operator, -|-, from the original patch.
Not because there was necessarily anything wrong with it, but it was more
complicated than the other operators, and I only have limited time for
reviewing. That will follow as a separate patch.

We use a hash table to track the parents of inner pages, but when inserting
to a leaf page, the caller of gistbufferinginserttuples() must pass a
correct block number of the leaf's parent page. Before gistProcessItup()
descends to a child page, it checks if the downlink needs to be adjusted to
accommodate the new tuple, and updates the downlink if necessary. However,
updating the downlink might require splitting the page, which might move the
downlink to a page to the right. gistProcessItup() doesn't realize that, so
when it descends to the leaf page, it might pass an out-of-date parent block
number as a result. Fix that by returning the block a tuple was inserted to
from gistbufferinginserttuples().
This fixes the bug reported by Zdeněk Jílovec.
