were discussed last year, but we felt it was too late in the 8.3 cycle to
change the code immediately. Specifically, the patch:
* Reduces the minimum datum size to be considered for compression from
256 to 32 bytes, as suggested by Greg Stark.
* Increases the required compression rate for compressed storage from
20% to 25%, again per Greg's suggestion.
* Replaces force_input_size (size above which compression is forced)
with a maximum size to be considered for compression. It was agreed
that allowing large inputs to escape the minimum-compression-rate
requirement was not bright, and that indeed we'd rather have a knob
that acted in the other direction. I set this value to 1MB for the
moment, but it could use some performance studies to tune it.
* Adds an early-failure path to the compressor as suggested by Jan:
if it's been unable to find even one compressible substring in the
first 1KB (parameterizable), assume we're looking at incompressible
input and give up. (Possibly this logic can be improved, but I'll
commit it as-is for now.)
* Improves the toasting heuristics so that when we have very large
fields with attstorage 'x' or 'e', we will push those out to toast
storage before considering inline compression of shorter fields.
This also responds to a suggestion of Greg's, though my original
proposal for a solution was a bit off base because it didn't fix
the problem for large 'e' fields.
There was some discussion in the earlier threads of exposing some
of the compression knobs to users, perhaps even on a per-column
basis. I have not done anything about that here. It seems to me
that if we are changing around the parameters, we'd better get some
experience and be sure we are happy with the design before we set
things in stone by providing user-visible knobs.

TopMemoryContext, rather than scattered through executor per-query contexts.
This poses no danger of memory leak since the ResourceOwner mechanism
guarantees release of no-longer-needed items. It is needed because the
per-query context might already be released by the time we try to clean up
the hash scan list. Report by ykhuang, diagnosis by Heikki.
Back-patch to 8.0, where the ResourceOwner-based cleanup was introduced.
The given test case does not fail before 8.2, probably because we rearranged
transaction abort processing somehow; but this coding is undoubtedly risky
so I'll patch 8.0 and 8.1 anyway.

a unused memory holes in tsquery.
Per report by Richard Huxton <dev@archonet.com>.
It was working well because in fact tsquery->size is not used for any
kind of operation except comparing tsqueries. So, in HEAD it's enough to
fix to_tsquery function, but for previous version it's needed to
remove optimization in CompareTSQ to prevent requirement of renew all
stored tsquery.

caches that we don't actually need to touch. This saves some trivial
number of cycles and avoids certain cases of deadlock when doing concurrent
VACUUM FULL on system catalogs. Per report from Gavin Roy.
Backpatch to 8.2. In earlier versions, CatalogCacheInitializeCache didn't
lock the relation so there's no deadlock risk (though that certainly had
plenty of risks of its own).

temporary table; we can't support that because there's no way to clean up the
source backend's internal state if the eventual COMMIT PREPARED is done by
another backend. This was checked correctly in 8.1 but I broke it in 8.2 :-(.

"struct varlena" would be at least word-aligned. Per buildfarm results
from gypsy_moth. I did a little bit of trawling for other instances of
this coding pattern, and didn't find any; but if we turn up any more
of them I think we'd better revert the "char [4]" patch and find another
way of making tuptoaster.c alignment-safe.

to explicitly cast the output back to char before comparing it to a char
value, else we get the wrong result for high-bit-set characters. Found by
Rolf Jentsch. Also, fix several places where <ctype.h> functions were being
called without casting the argument to unsigned char; this is likewise
unportable, but we keep making that mistake :-(. These found by buildfarm
member salamander, which I will desperately miss if it ever goes belly-up.

left in the code though it was not meant to be provided. It represents a
security hole because unprivileged users could use it to look at (at least the
first line of) any file readable by the backend. Fortunately, this is only
possible if the backend was built with XML support, so the damage is at least
mitigated; and 8.3 probably hasn't propagated into any security-critical uses
yet anyway. Per report from Sergey Burladyan.

is also licensed to put a local variable declared that way at an unaligned
address. Which will not work if the variable is then manipulated with
SET_VARSIZE or other macros that assume alignment. So the previous patch
is not an unalloyed good, but on balance I think it's still a win, since
we have very few places that do that sort of thing. Fix the one place in
tuptoaster.c that does it. Per buildfarm results from gypsy_moth
(I'm a bit surprised that only one machine showed a failure).

This fixes the failure case when executing as the Administrator
user, which had no permissions left at all after we dropped the
Administrators group.

"multi_call_ctx" to be a distinct sub-context of the EState's per-query
context, and delete the multi_call_ctx as soon as the SRF finishes
execution. This avoids leaking SRF memory until the end of the current
query, which is particularly egregious when the SRF is scanned
multiple times. This change also fixes a leak of the fields of the
AttInMetadata struct in shutdown_MultiFuncCall().
Also fix a leak of the SRF result TupleDesc when rescanning a
FunctionScan node. The TupleDesc is allocated in the per-query context
for every call to ExecMakeTableFunctionResult(), so we should free it
after calling that function. Since the SRF might choose to return
a non-expendable TupleDesc, we only free the TupleDesc if it is
not being reference-counted.
Backpatch to 8.3 and 8.2 stable branches.

So only rebuild when a makefile changes (which presumably defines the

touch is necessary so the parent make knows something changed and
ultimately rebuilds postgres.

values into \nnn octal escape sequences. When the database encoding is
multibyte this is *necessary* to avoid generating invalidly encoded text.
Even in a single-byte encoding, the old behavior seems very hazardous ---
consider for example what happens if the text is transferred to another
database with a different encoding. Decoding would then yield some other
bytea value than what was encoded, which is surely undesirable. Per gripe
from Hernan Gonzalez.
Backpatch to 8.3, but not further. This is a bit of a judgment call, but I
make it on these grounds: pre-8.3 we don't really have much encoding safety
anyway because of the convert() function family, and we would also have much
higher risk of breaking existing apps that may not be expecting this behavior.
8.3 is still new enough that we can probably get away with making this change
in the function's behavior.

(then it means 2000 AD). Formerly we silently interpreted this as 1 BC,
which at best is unwarranted familiarity with the implementation.
It's barely possible that some app somewhere expects the old behavior,
though, so we won't back-patch this into existing release branches.

Formerly, DecodeDate attempted to verify the day-of-the-month exactly, but
it was under the misapprehension that it would know whether we were looking
at a BC year or not. In reality this check can't be made until the calling
function (eg DecodeDateTime) has processed all the fields. So, split the
BC adjustment and validity checks out into a new function ValidateDate that
is called only after processing all the fields. In passing, this patch
makes DecodeTimeOnly work for BC inputs, which it never did before.
(The historical veracity of all this is nonexistent, of course, but if
we're going to say we support proleptic Gregorian calendar then we should
do it correctly. In any case the unpatched code is broken because it could
emit dates that it would then reject on re-inputting.)
Per report from Bernd Helmle. Back-patch as far as 8.0; in 7.x we were
not using our own calendar support and so this seems a bit too risky
to put into 7.4.

SUBSYS.o step and allow for better optimization by the linker.
Instead of partial linking into SUBSYS.o, the list of object files is
assembled in objfiles.txt files that are expanded when the final
linking is done.
Because we are not yet sure how long command lines different platforms
can handle, the old way of linking is still available, by defining the
make variable PARTIAL_LINKING (e.g., make all PARTIAL_LINKING=1). If
we determine that this is necessary for some platforms, then we will
document this in a more prominent place.

represented as "char ...[4]" not "int32". Since the length word is never
supposed to be accessed via this struct member anyway, this won't break
any existing code that is following the rules. The advantage is that C
compilers will no longer assume that a pointer to struct varlena is
word-aligned, which prevents incorrect optimizations in TOAST-pointer
access and perhaps other places. gcc doesn't seem to do this (at least
not at -O2), but the problem is demonstrable on some other compilers.
I changed struct inet as well, but didn't bother to touch a lot of other
struct definitions in which it wouldn't make any difference because there
were other fields forcing int alignment anyway. Hopefully none of those
struct definitions are used for accessing unaligned Datums.

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.
