In commit 11e131854f, I missed the case of
a CTE RTE that doesn't have a user-defined alias, but does have an
alias assigned by set_rtable_names(). Per report from Peter Eisentraut.
While at it, refactor slightly to reduce code duplication.
This change ensures that the planner will see implicit and explicit casts
as equivalent for all purposes, except in the minority of cases where
there's actually a semantic difference (as reflected by having a 3-argument
cast function). In particular, this fixes cases where the EquivalenceClass
machinery failed to consider two references to a varchar column as
equivalent if one was implicitly cast to text but the other was explicitly
cast to text, as seen in bug #7598 from Vaclav Juza. We have had similar
bugs before in other parts of the planner, so I think it's time to fix this
problem at the core instead of continuing to band-aid around it.
Remove set_coercionform_dontcare(), which represents the band-aid
previously in use for allowing matching of index and constraint expressions
with inconsistent cast labeling. (We can probably get rid of
COERCE_DONTCARE altogether, but I don't think removing that enum value in
back branches would be wise; it's possible there's third party code
referring to it.)
Back-patch to 9.2. We could go back further, and might want to once this
has been tested more; but for the moment I won't risk destabilizing plan
choices in long-since-stable branches.
When hashing a subplan like "WHERE (a, b) NOT IN (SELECT x, y FROM ...)",
findPartialMatch() attempted to match rows using the hashtable's internal
equality operators, which of course are for x and y's datatypes. What we
need to use are the potentially cross-type operators for a=x, b=y, etc.
Failure to do that leads to wrong answers or even crashes. The scope for
problems is limited to cases where we have different types with compatible
hash functions (else we'd not be using a hashed subplan), but for example
int4 vs int8 can cause the problem.
Per bug #7597 from Bo Jensen. This has been wrong since the hashed-subplan
code was written, so patch all the way back.
Rename replication_timeout to wal_sender_timeout, and add a new setting
called wal_receiver_timeout that does the same at the walreceiver side.
There was previously no timeout in walreceiver, so if the network went down,
for example, the walreceiver could take a long time to notice that the
connection was lost. Now with the two settings, both sides of a replication
connection will detect a broken connection similarly.
It is no longer necessary to manually set wal_receiver_status_interval to
a value smaller than the timeout. Both wal sender and receiver now
automatically send a "ping" message if more than 1/2 of the configured
timeout has elapsed, and it hasn't received any messages from the other end.

Numerous flex and bison make rules have appeared in the source tree
over time, and they are all virtually identical, so we can replace
them by pattern rules with some variables for customization.
Users of pgxs will also be able to benefit from this.
Apparently, on some glibc versions this causes warnings when
optimization is not enabled.
Altogether, there appear to be too many incompatibilities surrounding
this.
The HINTs generated for these error cases vary across builds. We
could try to work around that, but the test cases aren't really useful
enough to justify taking any trouble.
Per buildfarm.
We no longer use GetNewOidWithIndex on pg_largeobject; rather,
pg_largeobject_metadata's regular OID column is considered the repository
of OIDs for large objects. The special functionality is still needed for
TOAST tables however.
dblink now has its own validator function dblink_fdw_validator(), which is
better than the core function postgresql_fdw_validator() because it gets
the list of legal options from libpq instead of having a hard-wired list.
Make the dblink extension module provide a standard foreign data wrapper
dblink_fdw that encapsulates use of this validator, and recommend use of
that wrapper instead of making up wrappers on the fly.
Unfortunately, because ad-hoc wrappers *were* recommended practice
previously, it's not clear when we can get rid of postgresql_fdw_validator
without causing upgrade problems. But this is a step in the right
direction.

The idea here is to make sure the planner will evaluate these functions
last not first among the filter conditions in psql pattern search and
tab-completion queries. We've discussed this several times, and there
was consensus to do it back in August, but we didn't want to do it just
before a release. Now seems like a safer time.
No catversion bump, since this catalog change doesn't create a backend
incompatibility nor any regression test result changes.
Building a shlib on AIX requires use of the mkldexport.sh script, but we
failed to install that, preventing its use from non-source-tree contexts.
Also, Makefile.aix had the wrong idea about where to find the installed
copy of the postgres.imp symbol file used by AIX.
Per report from John Pierce. Patch all the way back, since this has been
broken since the beginning of PGXS.
Do read/write permissions checks at most once per large object descriptor,
not once per lo_read or lo_write call as before. The repeated tests were
quite useless in the read case since the snapshot-based tests were
guaranteed to produce the same answer every time. In the write case,
the extra tests could in principle detect revocation of write privileges
after a series of writes has started --- but there's a race condition there
anyway, since we'd check privileges before performing and certainly before
committing the write. So there's no real advantage to checking every
single time, and we might as well redefine it as "only check the first
time".
On the same reasoning, remove the LargeObjectExists checks in inv_write
and inv_truncate. We already checked existence when the descriptor was
opened, and checking again doesn't provide any real increment of safety
that would justify the cost.
The former name was too likely to conflict with symbols from external
headers; and, as seen in recent buildfarm failures in member spoonbill,
it has now happened at least in plpython.
I found that these functions tend to return -1 while leaving an empty error
message string in the PGconn, if they suffer some kind of I/O error on the
file. The reason is that lo_close, which thinks it's executed a perfectly
fine SQL command, clears the errorMessage. The minimum-change workaround
is to reorder operations here so that we don't fill the errorMessage until
after lo_close.
libpq defines these functions as accepting "size_t" lengths ... but the
underlying backend functions expect signed int32 length parameters, and so
will misinterpret any value exceeding INT_MAX. Fix the libpq side to throw
error rather than possibly doing something unexpected.
This is a bug of long standing, but I doubt it's worth back-patching. The
problem is really pretty academic anyway with lo_read/lo_write, since any
caller expecting sane behavior would have to have provided a multi-gigabyte
buffer. It's slightly more pressing with lo_truncate, but still we haven't
supported large objects over 2GB until now.
Fix broken-on-bigendian-machines byte-swapping functions, add missed update
of alternate regression expected file, improve error reporting, remove some
unnecessary code, sync testlo64.c with current testlo.c (it seems to have
been cloned from a very old copy of that), assorted cosmetic improvements.
We already had those, but they forced modules to spell out the function
bodies twice. Eliminate some duplicates we had already grown.
Extracted from a somewhat larger patch from Andres Freund.
This bug was introduced by my patch to use the regular die/quickdie signal
handlers in walsender processes. I tried to make walsender exit at next
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() by setting ProcDiePending, but that's not enough, you
need to set InterruptPending too. On second thoght, it was not a very good
way to make walsender exit anyway, so use proc_exit(0) instead.
Also, send a CommandComplete message before exiting; that's what we did
before, and you get a nicer error message in the standby that way.
Reported by Thom Brown.
Get rid of the fundamentally indefensible assumption that "long long int"
exists and is exactly 64 bits wide on every platform Postgres runs on.
Instead let the configure script select the type to use for "pg_int64".
This is a bit of a pain in the rear since we do not want to pollute client
namespace with all the random symbols that pg_config.h defines; instead
we have to create a separate generated header file, "pg_config_ext.h".
But now that the infrastructure is there, we might have the ability to
add some other stuff that's long been wanting in this area.
Copy-editing for previous patch, plus fixing some longstanding markup
issues and oversights (like not mentioning that failures will set the
PQerrorMessage string).
4TB large objects (standard 8KB BLCKSZ case). For this purpose new
libpq API lo_lseek64, lo_tell64 and lo_truncate64 are added. Also
corresponding new backend functions lo_lseek64, lo_tell64 and
lo_truncate64 are added. inv_api.c is changed to handle 64-bit
offsets.
Patch contributed by Nozomi Anzai (backend side) and Yugo Nagata
(frontend side, docs, regression tests and example program). Reviewed

Use the terms "simple bind" and "search+bind" consistently do
distinguish the two modes (better than first mode and second mode in
any case). They were already used in some places, now it's just more
prominent.
Split up the list of options into one for common options and one for
each mode, for clarity.
Add configuration examples for either mode.
Instead of continuing if the next character is not an array boundary get_data()
used to continue only on finding a boundary so it was not able to read any
element after the first.
The regular backend's main loop handles signal handling and error recovery
better than the current WAL sender command loop does. For example, if the
client hangs and a SIGTERM is received before starting streaming, the
walsender will now terminate immediately, rather than hang until the
connection times out.
This makes the naming inside plpgsql consistent and distinguishes the
file from the backend's gram.y file. It will also allow easier
refactoring of the bison make rules later on.
Our getnameinfo() replacement implementation in getaddrinfo.c failed
unless NI_NUMERICHOST and NI_NUMERICSERV were given as flags, because
it doesn't resolve host names, only numeric IPs. But per standard,
when those flags are not given, an implementation can still degrade to
not returning host names, so this restriction is unnecessary. When we
remove it, we can eliminate some code in postmaster.c that apparently
tried to work around that.
The initial transition value is stored as a text string and not fed to the
transition type's input function until runtime (so that values such as
"now" don't get frozen at creation time). Previously, CREATE AGGREGATE
didn't do anything with it but that, which meant that even erroneous values
would be accepted and not complained of until the aggregate is used. This
seems unhelpful, and it's confused at least one user, as in Rhys Stewart's
recent report. It seems worth taking a few more cycles to invoke the input
function and verify that the value is acceptable. We can't do this if the
transition type is polymorphic, but in normal aggregates we know the actual
transition type so we can call the right input function.
