53e95eee84 Fix for rare race-condition-like failure: if a backend receives SIGUSR2
(notify/SI-overrun interrupt) while it is in process of doing proc_exit,
it is possible for Async_NotifyHandler() to try to start a transaction
when one is already running.  This leads to Asserts() or worse.  I think
it may only be possible to occur when frontend synchronization is lost
(ie, the elog(FATAL) in SocketBackend() fires), but that is a standard
occurrence after error during COPY.  In any case, I have seen this
failure occur during regression tests, so it is definitely possible.

d724c314da The attached adds GRANTs to PUBLIC for dblink functions, removes the
non-standard regression test, and adds standard installcheck regression test
support.

The test creates a second database (regression_slave) and drops it again, in
order to avoid the cheesy-ness of connecting back to the same database ;-)

bd04184b11 Attached is a patch to fix some recently raised issues that exist in
contrib/tablefunc. Specifically it replaces the use of VIEWs (for needed
composite type creation) with use of CREATE TYPE. It also performs GRANT
EXECUTE ON FUNCTION foo() TO PUBLIC for all of the created functions. There
was also a cosmetic change to two regression files.

7184a428a2 The small context diff below corrects what seems to be an oversight in
fmgr.h - it's discouraged to access fcinfo directly but there is no
macro to get the number of arguments passed to the function. Checking
the number of arguments is often useful when you have a function which
can be called like:

 func('arg');
 func(null);
 func();

all mapping to the same C function.

the macro has a function-like appearance to match the other PG_*
macros.

e57ab04565 This is a comprehensive set of diffs (versus current CVS) that replaces those
attached to the same message with the Earth Distance patches.
Recent changes include changing the subscript in one place I forgot
in the previous bugfix patch. A couple of added regression tests, which
should help catch this mistake if it reappears.
I also put in a limit of 100 dimensions in cube_large and cube_in to
prevent making it easy to create very large cubes. Changing one define
in cubedata.h will raise the limit if some needs more dimensions.

Please, apply attached patch, it solves the problem.

Attached is a diff -c format proposal to fix this. I've also attached a short
test script. Seems to work OK and passes all regression tests.

Here's a breakdown of how I understand plpgsql's "Special word rules" -- I
think it illustrates the behavior reasonably well. New functions added by this
patch are plpgsql_parse_tripwordtype and plpgsql_parse_dblwordrowtype:

No one commented on the choice of name, so the attached patch changes
the name of split(text,text,int) to split_part(text,text,int) per
Hannu's recommendation above. This can be applied without an initdb if
current beta testers are advised to run:

   update pg_proc set proname = 'split_part' where proname = 'split';

in the case they want to use this function. Regression and doc fix is
also included in the patch.

The attached patch fixes the infinite recursion bug in
contrib/tablefunc/tablefunc.c:connectby found by Masaru Sugawara.

test=# SELECT * FROM connectby('connectby_tree', 'keyid',
'parent_keyid', '2', 4, '~') AS t(keyid int, parent_keyid int, level
int, branch text);
  keyid | parent_keyid | level |   branch
-------+--------------+-------+-------------
      2 |              |     0 | 2
      4 |            2 |     1 | 2~4
      6 |            4 |     2 | 2~4~6
      8 |            6 |     3 | 2~4~6~8
      5 |            2 |     1 | 2~5
      9 |            5 |     2 | 2~5~9
     10 |            9 |     3 | 2~5~9~10
     11 |           10 |     4 | 2~5~9~10~11
(8 rows)

test=# SELECT * FROM connectby('connectby_tree', 'keyid',
'parent_keyid', '2', 5, '~') AS t(keyid int, parent_keyid int, level
int, branch text);
ERROR:  infinite recursion detected

I implemented it by checking the branch string for repeated keys
(whether or not the branch is returned). The performance hit was pretty
minimal -- about 1% for a moderately complex test case (220000 record
table, 9 level tree with 3800 members).

Ok, the following patch should solve this concern.  It also tries to
connect as little times as possible (the previous one would connect one
time per table plus one per database; this one connects two times per
database).

5dd74c0f21 The attached small patch fixes the cause of the regression test failure
for contrib/intarray.

The cause was that the library uses its own function to construct a new
array, new_intArrayType, and that function did not set the new array
struct attribute elemtype.

6fdc44be71 Tweak querytree-dependency-extraction code so that columns of tables
that are explicitly JOINed are not considered dependencies unless they
are actually used in the query: mere presence in the joinaliasvars
list of a JOIN RTE doesn't count as being used.  The patch touches
a number of files because I needed to generalize the API of
query_tree_walker to support an additional flag bit, but the changes
are otherwise quite small.

d634a5903f Patches submitted by Kris Jurka (jurka@ejurka.com) for the following bugs:
- Properly drop tables in jdbc regression tests with cascade for 7.3
  - problem with Statement.execute() and executeUpdate() not clearing binds
  - problem with ResultSet not correctly handling default encoding
  - changes to correctly support show transaction isolation level in 7.3
  - changed DatabaseMetaDataTest to handle differences in FK names in 7.3
  - better fix for dynamically checking server NAME data length
  (With the fixes above the jdbc regression tests pass on jdbc2 and jdbc3
   against both a 7.2 and 7.3 server)
Patchs submitted by David Wall (d.wall@computer.org):
  - problem with getBlob when largeobject oid is null
  - improvements to BlobOutputStream
Patch submitted by Haris Peco (snpe@snpe.co.yu):
  - problem with callable statement not supporting prepared statement methods
