a SubLink expression into a rule query. We missed cases where the original
query contained a sub-SELECT in a function in FROM, a multi-row VALUES list,
or a RETURNING list. Per bug #4434 from Dean Rasheed and subsequent
investigation.
Back-patch to 8.1; older releases don't have the issue because they didn't
try to be smart about setting hasSubLinks only when needed.

This is a stripped-down version of Radek Strnad's patch, with further
changes by me.
that presence of the password in the conninfo string must be checked *before*
risking a connection attempt, there is no point in checking it afterwards.
This makes the specification of PQconnectionUsedPassword() a bit simpler
and perhaps more generally useful, too.
conninfo string *before* trying to connect to the remote server, not after.
As pointed out by Marko Kreen, in certain not-very-plausible situations
this could result in sending a password from the postgres user's .pgpass file,
or other places that non-superusers shouldn't have access to, to an
untrustworthy remote server. The cleanest fix seems to be to expose libpq's
conninfo-string-parsing code so that dblink can check for a password option
without duplicating the parsing logic.

interpreted as expected (the sign should affect months too), and get rid of
hard-wired assumption that unmarked signed values must be hours (if integers)
or seconds (if floats). The former was just a bug in my previous patch,
while the latter may have made sense at one time but seems illogical now
that we support determination of the units from typmod information.

forestalls potential overflow when the same table (or other object, but
usually tables) is accessed by very many successive queries within a single
transaction. Per report from Michael Milligan.
Back-patch to 8.0, which is as far back as the patch conveniently applies.
There have been no reports of overflow in pre-8.3 releases, but clearly the
risk existed all along. (Michael's report suggests that 8.3 may consume lock
counts faster than prior releases, but with no test case to look at it's hard
to be sure about that. Widening the counts seems a good future-proofing
measure in any event.)
we regenerate the SQL query text not merely the plan derived from it. This
is needed to handle contingencies such as renaming of a table or column
used in an FK. Pre-8.3, such cases worked despite the lack of replanning
(because the cached plan needn't actually change), so this is a regression.
Per bug #4417 from Benjamin Bihler.
value. This means that hash index lookups are always lossy and have to be
rechecked when the heap is visited; however, the gain in index compactness
outweighs this when the indexed values are wide. Also, we only need to
perform datatype comparisons when the hash codes match exactly, rather than
for every entry in the hash bucket; so it could also win for datatypes that
have expensive comparison functions. A small additional win is gained by
keeping hash index pages sorted by hash code and using binary search to reduce
the number of index tuples we have to look at.

This commit also incorporates Zdenek Kotala's patch to isolate hash metapages
and hash bitmaps a bit better from the page header datastructures.
each connection. This makes it possible to catch errors in the pg_hba
file when it's being reloaded, instead of silently reloading a broken
file and failing only when a user tries to connect.
This patch also makes the "sameuser" argument to ident authentication
optional.
btree. We can't easily tell whether clauses generated from the equivalence
class could be used with such an index, so just assume that they might be.
This bit of over-optimization prevented use of non-btree indexes for nestloop
inner indexscans, in any case where the join uses an equality operator that
is also a btree operator --- which in particular is typically true for hash
indexes. Noted while trying to test the current hash index patch.
and the literal syntax INTERVAL 'string' ... SECOND(n), as required by the
SQL standard. Our old syntax put (n) directly after INTERVAL, which was
a mistake, but will still be accepted for backward compatibility as well
as symmetry with the TIMESTAMP cases.
Change intervaltypmodout to show it in the spec's way, too. (This could
potentially affect clients, if there are any that analyze the typmod of an
INTERVAL in any detail.)
Also fix interval input to handle 'min:sec.frac' properly; I had overlooked
this case in my previous patch.
Document the use of the interval fields qualifier, which up to now we had
never mentioned in the docs. (I think the omission was intentional because
it didn't work per spec; but it does now, or at least close enough to be
credible.)
GetOldestXmin() instead of RecentGlobalXmin; this is safer because we do not
depend on the latter being correctly set elsewhere, and while it is more
expensive, this code path is not performance-critical. This is a real
risk for autovacuum, because it can execute whole cycles without doing
a single vacuum, which would mean that RecentGlobalXmin would stay at its
initialization value, FirstNormalTransactionId, causing a bogus value to be
inserted in pg_database. This bug could explain some recent reports of
failure to truncate pg_clog.
At the same time, change the initialization of RecentGlobalXmin to
InvalidTransactionId, and ensure that it's set to something else whenever
it's going to be used. Using it as FirstNormalTransactionId in HOT page
pruning could incur in data loss. InitPostgres takes care of setting it
to a valid value, but the extra checks are there to prevent "special"
backends from behaving in unusual ways.

a lot closer than it was before). To do this, tweak coerce_type() to pass
through the typmod information when invoking interval_in() on an UNKNOWN
constant; then fix DecodeInterval to pay attention to the typmod when deciding
how to interpret a units-less integer value. I changed one or two other
details as well. I believe the code now reacts as expected by spec for all
the literal syntaxes that are specifically enumerated in the spec. There
are corner cases involving strings that don't exactly match the set of fields
called out by the typmod, for which we might want to tweak the behavior some
more; but I think this is an area of user friendliness rather than spec
compliance. There remain some non-compliant details about the SQL syntax
(as opposed to what's inside the literal string); but at least we'll throw
error rather than silently doing the wrong thing in those cases.
when user-defined functions used in a plan are modified. Also invalidate
plans when schemas, operators, or operator classes are modified; but for these
cases we just invalidate everything rather than tracking exact dependencies,
since these types of objects seldom change in a production database.

for pg_stop_backup. First, it is possible that the history file name is not
alphabetically later than the last WAL file name, so we should explicitly
check that both have been archived. Second, the previous coding would wait
forever if a checkpoint had managed to remove the WAL file before we look for
it.
