b34f6ab804 psql backward compatibility fix
For servers older than 8.3, sort display of child tables by relname instead
of oid::regclass::text, because the cast from regclass to text did not work
back then.  The older display may be slightly worse when different schemas
are involved, but that should be rare enough.

e292dbcf54 More sensible character_octet_length
For character types with typmod, character_octet_length columns in the
information schema now show the maximum character length times the
maximum length of a character in the server encoding, instead of some
huge value as before.

788d8e5139 Code review for patch to show definition of index columns in \d on index.
Safely schema-qualify the pg_get_indexdef call, make the query a bit
prettier in -E mode, remove useless join to pg_index, make it more obvious
that the header[] array is not overrun.

47386fed46 Use floor() not rint() when reducing precision of fractional seconds in
timestamp_trunc, timestamptz_trunc, and interval_trunc().  This change
only affects the float-datetime case; the integer-datetime case already
behaved like truncation instead of rounding.  Per gripe from Mario Splivalo.

This is a pre-existing issue but I'm choosing not to backpatch, because
it's such a corner case and there have not been prior complaints.  The
issue is largely moot anyway given the trend towards integer datetimes.

44886bd878 Fix ancient bug in handling of to_char modifier 'TH', when used with HH.
In what seems like an oversight, we used to treat 'TH' the same as lowercase
'th', but only with HH/HH12.

9b27eab71c Fix set_append_rel_pathlist() to deal intelligently with cases where
substituting a child rel's output expressions into the appendrel's restriction
clauses yields a pseudoconstant restriction.  We might be able to skip scanning
that child rel entirely (if we get constant FALSE), or generate a one-time
filter.  8.3 more or less accidentally generated plans that weren't completely
stupid in these cases, but that was only because an extra recursive level of
subquery_planner() always occurred and allowed const-simplification to happen.
8.4's ability to pull up appendrel members with non-Var outputs exposes the
fact that we need to work harder here.  Per gripe from Sergey Burladyan.

bf6570abef Show definition of index columns in \d on index
This adds a column called "Definition" to the output of psql \d on an
index, which shows the full expression behind the index column.  For indexes
on plain columns, this is redundant,  but for expression indexes, this
reveals the real expression.

869312e65e Per SQL spec (in particular, the grammar in SQL:2008 7.13) we should allow
parentheses around the <query expression body> that follows a WITH clause, eg
	with cte(foo) as ( values(0) ) ((select foo from cte));
This seems to be just an oversight/thinko in gram.y.  Noted while
experimenting with bug #4902.

9298d2ff39 Fix handling of changed-Param signaling for CteScan plan nodes. We were using
the "cteParam" as a proxy for the possibility that the underlying CTE plan
depends on outer-level variables or Params, but that doesn't work very well
because it sometimes causes calling subqueries to be treated as SubPlans when
they could be InitPlans.  This is inefficient and also causes the outright
failure exhibited in bug #4902.  Instead, leave the cteParam out of it and
copy the underlying CTE plan's extParams directly.  Per bug #4902 from
Marko Tiikkaja.

4d53a2f969 Revert addition of "o" to tar options. This was intended to fix bug #4883,
but the cure appears to be worse than the disease.  It turns out that GNU
tar versions 1.14.x misinterpret -o as --same-owner, not --no-same-owner,
leading to exactly the wrong behavior for both root and nonroot users.
While that bug has been fixed for nearly five years, these tar versions
are still found in the wild, notably in OS X 10.4.  Given that #4883 was
the first complaint we'd heard, it's definitely not worth fixing at the
risk of breaking things for other users.  Perhaps revisit at a later date
when we're not up against a release deadline.

2de48a83e6 Cleanup and code review for the patch that made bgwriter active during
archive recovery.  Invent a separate state variable and inquiry function
for XLogInsertAllowed() to clarify some tests and make the management of
writing the end-of-recovery checkpoint less klugy.  Fix several places
that were incorrectly testing InRecovery when they should be looking at
RecoveryInProgress or XLogInsertAllowed (because they will now be executed
in the bgwriter not startup process).  Clarify handling of bad LSNs passed
to XLogFlush during recovery.  Use a spinlock for setting/testing
SharedRecoveryInProgress.  Improve quite a lot of comments.

7e48b77b1c Fix some serious bugs in archive recovery, now that bgwriter is active
during it:

When bgwriter is active, the startup process can't perform mdsync() correctly
because it won't see the fsync requests accumulated in bgwriter's private
pendingOpsTable. Therefore make bgwriter responsible for the end-of-recovery
checkpoint as well, when it's active.

When bgwriter is active (= archive recovery), the startup process must not
accumulate fsync requests to its own pendingOpsTable, since bgwriter won't
see them there when it performs restartpoints. Make startup process drop its
pendingOpsTable when bgwriter is launched to avoid that.

Update minimum recovery point one last time when leaving archive recovery.
It won't be updated by the end-of-recovery checkpoint because XLogFlush()
sees us as out of recovery already.

This fixes bug #4879 reported by Fujii Masao.

8fd733bd19 Disable pg_standby -l option because the backend doesn't expect the recovered
file to be a symlink. We tried to fix this issue with an earlier server-side
patch, but it didn't fix the whole issue.

The same bug is present in older releases as well, but the 8.4 train is
about to leave the station, and I'm not sure if have consensus on whether
we can remove the -l option in back-branches or do we need to attempt a
server-side fix to make symlinking safe.

b087b018a1 Fix an ancient error in dist_ps (distance from point to line segment), which
a number of other geometric operators also depend on.  It miscalculated the
slope of the perpendicular to the given line segment anytime that slope was
other than 0, infinite, or +/-1.  In some cases the error would be masked
because the true closest point on the line segment was one of its endpoints
rather than the intersection point, but in other cases it could give an
arbitrarily bad answer.  Per bug #4872 from Nick Roosevelt.

Bug goes clear back to Berkeley days, so patch all supported branches.
Make a couple of cosmetic adjustments while at it.

8d355d7bbf Fix the makefiles to fail cleanly if Perl is needed but not present. This
used to work as intended, but got broken some time ago (a quoted empty string
is not an empty string), and got broken some more by the changes to generate
ecpg's preproc.y automatically.  Given all the unprotected uses of $(PERL)
elsewhere, it seems best to make use of the $(missing) script rather than
trying to ensure each such use is protected individually.  Also fix various
bits of documentation that omitted to mention Perl as a requirement for
building from a CVS pull.  Per a complaint from Robert Haas.

6382448cf9 For bulk write operations (eg COPY IN), use a ring buffer of 16MB instead
of the 256KB limit originally enforced by a patch committed 2008-11-06.
Per recent test results, the smaller size resulted in an undesirable decrease
in bulk data loading speed, due to COPY processing frequently getting blocked
for WAL flushing.  This area might need more tweaking later, but this setting
seems to be good enough for 8.4.
