non-default settings for the postmaster's port number. The code to parse
command line options and postgresql.conf entries wasn't quite right about
whitespace or quotes, and it was coded in a not-very-readable way too.
Per bug #3969 from Itagaki Takahiro, though this is more extensive than his
proposed patch (which fixed only the whitespace problem).
This code has been broken since it was put in in 8.0, so patch all the way
back.

OID or new relfilenode. If the existing OIDs are sufficiently densely
populated, this could take a long time (perhaps even be an infinite loop),
so it seems wise to allow the system to respond to a cancel interrupt here.
Per a gripe from Jacky Leng.
Backpatch as far as 8.1. Older versions just fail on OID collision,
instead of looping.

calculating a page's initial free space was fine, and should not have been
"improved" by letting PageGetHeapFreeSpace do it. VACUUM FULL is going to
reclaim LP_DEAD line pointers later, so there is no need for a guard
against the page being too full of line pointers, and having one risks
rejecting pages that are perfectly good move destinations.
This also exposed a second bug, which is that the empty_end_pages logic
assumed that any page with no live tuples would get entered into the
fraged_pages list automatically (by virtue of having more free space than
the threshold in the do_frag calculation). This assumption certainly
seems risky when a low fillfactor has been chosen, and even without
tunable fillfactor I think it could conceivably fail on a page with many
unused line pointers. So fix the code to force do_frag true when notup
is true, and patch this part of the fix all the way back.

statement be a list of bare C strings, rather than String nodes, which is
what they need to be for copyfuncs/equalfuncs to work. Fortunately these
node types never go out to disk (if they did, we'd likely have noticed the
problem sooner), so we can just fix it without creating a need for initdb.
This bug has been there since 8.0, but 8.3 exposes it in a more common
code path (Parse messages) than prior releases did. Per bug #3940 from
Vladimir Kokovic.

erroring out of a wait. We can use a PG_TRY block for this, but add a comment
explaining why it'd be a bad idea to use it for any other state cleanup.
Back-patch to 8.2. Prior releases had the same issue, but only with respect
to the process title, which is likely to get reset almost immediately anyway
after the transaction aborts, so it seems not worth changing them. In 8.2
and HEAD, the pg_stat_activity "waiting" flag could remain set incorrectly
for a long time.

subquery output column exactly once left-to-right. Although this is the case
in the original parser output, it might not be so after rewriting and
constant-folding, as illustrated by bug #3882 from Jan Mate. Instead
scan the subquery's target list to obtain needed per-column information;
this is duplicative of what the parser did, but only a couple dozen lines
need be copied, and we can clean up a couple of notational uglinesses.
Bug was introduced in 8.2 as part of revision of SubLink representation.

constraint yields TRUE for every row of its table, only that it does not
yield FALSE (a NULL result isn't disallowed). This breaks a couple of
implications that would be true in two-valued logic. I had put in one such
mistake in an 8.2.5 patch: foo IS NULL doesn't refute a strict operator
on foo. But there was another in the original 8.2 release: NOT foo doesn't
refute an expression whose truth would imply the truth of foo.
Per report from Rajesh Kumar Mallah.
To preserve the ability to do constraint exclusion with one partition
holding NULL values, extend relation_excluded_by_constraints() to check
for attnotnull flags, and add col IS NOT NULL expressions to the set of
constraints we hope to refute.

clauseless joins of relations that have unexploited join clauses. Rather
than looking at every other base relation in the query, the correct thing is
to examine the other relations in the "initial_rels" list of the current
make_rel_from_joinlist() invocation, because those are what we actually have
the ability to join against. This might be a subset of the whole query in
cases where join_collapse_limit or from_collapse_limit or full joins have
prevented merging the whole query into a single join problem. This is a bit
untidy because we have to pass those rels down through a new PlannerInfo
field, but it's necessary. Per bug #3865 from Oleg Kharin.

report of poor planning in 8.3: it's unsafe to push a constant across an
outer join when the outer-join condition is delayed by lower outer joins,
unless we recheck the outer-join condition at the upper outer join.
8.2.x doesn't really have the ability to tell whether this is the case
or not, but fortunately it doesn't matter --- it seems most desirable to
keep the join condition whether it's entirely redundant or not. However,
it's usually mostly redundant, so force its selectivity to 1.0.
It might be a good idea to back-patch this into 8.1 as well, but I'll
refrain until/unless there's evidence that 8.1 actually fails on any
cases that this would fix.

constant ORDER/GROUP BY entries properly:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2001-04/msg00457.php
The original solution to that was in fact no good, as demonstrated by
today's report from Martin Pitt:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2008-01/msg00027.php
We can't use the column-number-reference format for a constant that is
a resjunk targetlist entry, a case that was unfortunately not thought of
in the original discussion. What we can do instead (which did not work
at the time, but does work in 7.3 and up) is to emit the constant with
explicit ::typename decoration, even if it otherwise wouldn't need it.
This is sufficient to keep the parser from thinking it's a column number
reference, and indeed is probably what the user must have done to get
such a thing into the querytree in the first place.

and CLUSTER) execute as the table owner rather than the calling user, using
the same privilege-switching mechanism already used for SECURITY DEFINER
functions. The purpose of this change is to ensure that user-defined
functions used in index definitions cannot acquire the privileges of a
superuser account that is performing routine maintenance. While a function
used in an index is supposed to be IMMUTABLE and thus not able to do anything
very interesting, there are several easy ways around that restriction; and
even if we could plug them all, there would remain a risk of reading sensitive
information and broadcasting it through a covert channel such as CPU usage.
To prevent bypassing this security measure, execution of SET SESSION
AUTHORIZATION and SET ROLE is now forbidden within a SECURITY DEFINER context.
Thanks to Itagaki Takahiro for reporting this vulnerability.

are shared with Tcl, since it's their code to begin with, and the patches
have been copied from Tcl 8.5.0. Problems:
CVE-2007-4769: Inadequate check on the range of backref numbers allows
crash due to out-of-bounds read.
CVE-2007-4772: Infinite loop in regex optimizer for pattern '($|^)*'.
CVE-2007-6067: Very slow optimizer cleanup for regex with a large NFA
representation, as well as crash if we encounter an out-of-memory condition
during NFA construction.
Part of the response to CVE-2007-6067 is to put a limit on the number of
states in the NFA representation of a regex. This seems needed even though
the within-the-code problems have been corrected, since otherwise the code
could try to use very large amounts of memory for a suitably-crafted regex,
leading to potential DOS by driving the system into swap, activating a kernel
OOM killer, etc.
Although there are certainly plenty of ways to drive the system into effective
DOS with poorly-written SQL queries, these problems seem worth treating as
security issues because many applications might accept regex search patterns
from untrustworthy sources.

Drewry and Tom Lane.

Backpatch to 8.2.x. Likely this fix should go further back, but I can't test
it because I no longer have a machine with a pre-2.5 Python installation.

older branches.)

The zero-point case is sensible so far as the data structure is concerned,
so maybe we ought to allow it sometime; but right now the textual input
routines for these types don't allow it, and it seems that not all the

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.

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.

negated-match operators. patternsel had been using the supplied operator as
though it were a positive-match operator, and thus obtaining a wrong result,
which was even more wrong after the caller subtracted it from 1. Seems
cleanest to give patternsel an explicit "negate" argument so that it knows
what's going on. Also install the same factorization scheme for pattern
join selectivity estimators; even though they are just stubs at the
moment, this may keep someone from making the same type of mistake when
they get filled out. Per report from Greg Mullane.
Backpatch to 8.2 --- previous releases do not show the problem because
patternsel() doesn't actually use the operator directly.

that have default expressions different from their parent. First, if the
parent table's default expression has to be split out as a separate
ALTER TABLE command, we need a dependency constraint to ensure that the
child's command is given second. This is because the ALTER TABLE on the
parent will propagate to the child. (We can't prevent that by using ONLY on
the parent's command, since it's possible that other children exist that
should receive the inherited default.) Second, if the child has a NULL
default where the parent does not, we have to explicitly say DEFAULT NULL on
the child in order for this state to be preserved after reload. (The latter
actually doesn't work right because of a backend bug, but that is a separate
issue.)
Backpatch as far as 8.0. 7.x pg_dump has enough issues with altered tables
(due to lack of dependency analysis) that trying to fix this one doesn't seem
very productive.

if either of the input relations can legally be joined to any other rels using
join clauses. This avoids uselessly (and expensively) considering a lot of
really stupid join paths when there is a join restriction with a large
footprint, that is, lots of relations inside its LHS or RHS. My patch of
15-Feb-2007 had been causing the code to consider joining *every* combination
of rels inside such a group, which is exponentially bad :-(. With this
behavior, clauseless bushy joins will be done if necessary, but they'll be
put off as long as possible. Per report from Jakub Ouhrabka.
Backpatch to 8.2. We might someday want to backpatch to 8.1 as well, but 8.1
does not have the problem for OUTER JOIN nests, only for IN-clauses, so it's
not clear anyone's very likely to hit it in practice; and the current patch
doesn't apply cleanly to 8.1.

of the sequence. Since OWNED BY never existed before 8.2, this seems
unlikely to create any compatibility issues. Other forms of ALTER SEQUENCE
continue to do what they did before, namely update currval to match the
sequence's actual last_val. That seems wrong on consideration, but we'll
not change it in a minor release --- 8.3 will make that fix.

neglected to test whether an outer join's join-condition actually refers to
the lower outer join it is looking at. (The comment correctly described what
was supposed to happen, but the code didn't do it...) This often resulted in
adding an unnecessary constraint on the join order of the two outer joins,
which was bad enough. However, it also seems to expose a performance
problem in an older patch (from 15-Feb): once we've decided that there is a
join ordering constraint, we will start trying clauseless joins between every
combination of rels within the constraint, which pointlessly eats up lots of
time and space if there are numerous rels below the outer join. That probably
needs to be revisited :-(. Per gripe from Jakub Ouhrabka.

the indexes to move to the database's default tablespace) and for an index
belonging to a UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY constraint, it would actually try to
assign the parent table's reloptions to the index :-(. Per bug #3672 and
