queries via a cursor, fetching a limited number of rows at a time and
therefore not risking exhausting memory. A disadvantage of the scheme
is that 'aligned' output mode will align each group of rows independently
leading to odd-looking output, but all the other output formats work
reasonably well. Chris Mair, with some additional hacking by moi.
existing for backend GUC variables, and use this to eliminate repeated
fetching/parsing of psql variables in psql's inner loops. In a trivial
test with lots of 'select 1;' commands, psql's CPU time went down almost
10%, although of course the effect on total elapsed time was much less.
Per discussion about how to ensure the upcoming FETCH_COUNT patch doesn't
cost any performance when not being used.
optionally bind. I re-added the "statement:" label so people will
understand why the line is being printed (it is log_*statement
behavior).
Use single quotes for bind values, instead of double quotes, and double
literal single quotes in bind values (and document that). I also made
use of the DETAIL line to have much cleaner output.

pgstat_bestart() has been called; else any lock-block occurring
during InitPostgres() is disastrous. I believe this explains
recent wasp regression failure; at least it explains the crash I
got while trying to duplicate the problem. I also made
pgstat_report_activity() safe against the same scenario, just
in case. The report_waiting hazard was created by my patch of
19-Aug to include waiting status in pg_stat_activity.
builds all the files needed for its regression tests, but the tests
themselves fail because of diffs in the #line directives output by
ecpg itself. Not sure what to do about that.
trivial if it contains either Vars referencing the corresponding subplan
columns, or Consts equaling the corresponding subplan columns. This
lets the planner eliminate the SubqueryScan in some cases generated by
generate_setop_tlist().
Fix all the standard PLs to be able to return tuples from FOO_RETURNING
statements as well as utility statements that return tuples. Also,
fix oversight that SPI_processed wasn't set for a utility statement
returning tuples. Per recent discussion.
locks that would conflict with a specified lock request, without
actually trying to get that lock. Use this instead of the former ad hoc
method of doing the first wait step in CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY.
Fixes problem with undetected deadlock and in many cases will allow the
index creation to proceed sooner than it otherwise could've. Per
discussion with Greg Stark.
