* I find that an out-of-the-box installation of OSSP uuid 1.6.0 installsTom Lane2007-11-13

* Ensure that typmod decoration on a datatype name is validated in all cases,Tom Lane2007-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | even in code paths where we don't pay any subsequent attention to the typmod value. This seems needed in view of the fact that 8.3's generalized typmod support will accept a lot of bogus syntax, such as "timestamp(foo)" or "record(int, 42)" --- if we allow such things to pass without comment, users will get confused. Per a recent example from Greg Stark. To implement this in a way that's not very vulnerable to future bugs-of-omission, refactor the API of parse_type.c's TypeName lookup routines so that typmod validation is folded into the base lookup operation. Callers can still choose not to receive the encoded typmod, but we'll check the decoration anyway if it's present.

* Have text search thesaurus files use "?" for stop words.Bruce Momjian2007-11-10
| | | | | | | | | Throw an error for actual stop words, rather than a warning. This fixes problems with cache reloading causing warning messages. Re-enable stop words in regression tests; was disabled by Tom. Document "?" as API change.

* Second pass at improving LIKE/regex estimation in non-C locales. It turnsTom Lane2007-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | out that it's actually quite likely that a string that is an extension of the given prefix will sort as larger than the "greater" string our previous code created. To provide some defense against that, do the comparisons against a modified string instead of just the bare prefix. We tack on "Z", "z", "y", or "9", whichever is seen as largest in the current locale. Testing suggests that this is sufficient at least for cases involving ASCII data.
* Add parameter krb_realm used by GSSAPI, SSPI and KerberosMagnus Hagander2007-11-09
| | | | | | | to validate the realm of the connecting user. By default it's empty meaning no verification, which is the way Kerberos authentication has traditionally worked in PostgreSQL.

* If an index depends on no columns of its table, give it a dependency on theTom Lane2007-11-08
| | | | | | | | | whole table instead, to ensure that it goes away when the table is dropped. Per bug #3723 from Sam Mason. Backpatch as far as 7.4; AFAICT 7.3 does not have the issue, because it doesn't have general-purpose expression indexes and so there must be at least one column referenced by an index.

* Fix EquivalenceClass code to handle volatile sort expressions in a moreTom Lane2007-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | predictable manner; in particular that if you say ORDER BY output-column-ref, it will in fact sort by that specific column even if there are multiple syntactic matches. An example is SELECT random() AS a, random() AS b FROM ... ORDER BY b, a; While the use-case for this might be a bit debatable, it worked as expected in earlier releases, so we should preserve the behavior for 8.3. Per my recent proposal. While at it, fix convert_subquery_pathkeys() to handle RelabelType stripping in both directions; it needs this for the same reasons make_sort_from_pathkeys does.
* Last week's patch for make_sort_from_pathkeys wasn't good enough: it hasTom Lane2007-11-08
| | | | | | | to be able to discard top-level RelabelType nodes on *both* sides of the equivalence-class-to-target-list comparison, since make_pathkey_from_sortinfo might either add or remove a RelabelType. Also fix the latter to do the removal case cleanly. Per example from Peter.

* Improve the performance of LIKE/regex estimation in non-C locales, by makingTom Lane2007-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | make_greater_string() try harder to generate a string that's actually greater than its input string. Before we just assumed that making a string that was memcmp-greater was enough, but it is easy to generate examples where this is not so when the locale is not C. Instead, loop until the relevant comparison function agrees that the generated string is greater than the input. Unfortunately this is probably not enough to guarantee that the generated string is greater than all extensions of the input, so we cannot relax the restriction to C locale for the LIKE/regex index optimization. But it should at least improve the odds of getting a useful selectivity estimate in prefix_selectivity(). Per example from Guillaume Smet. Backpatch to 8.1, mainly because that's what the complainant is using...
