backpatch to 8.3.X. Also fix markup that had just one bullet.

debug_print_plan to appear at LOG message level, not DEBUG1 as historically.
Make debug_pretty_print default to on. Also, cause plans generated via
EXPLAIN to be subject to debug_print_plan. This is all to make
debug_print_plan a reasonably comfortable substitute for the former behavior
of EXPLAIN VERBOSE.

variable stats_temp_directory, instead of requiring the admin to
mount/symlink the pg_stat_tmp directory manually.
For now the config variable is PGC_POSTMASTER. Room for further improvment
that would allow it to be changed on-the-fly.

the old JOIN_IN code, but antijoins are new functionality.) Teach the planner
to convert appropriate EXISTS and NOT EXISTS subqueries into semi and anti
joins respectively. Also, LEFT JOINs with suitable upper-level IS NULL
filters are recognized as being anti joins. Unify the InClauseInfo and
OuterJoinInfo infrastructure into "SpecialJoinInfo". With that change,
it becomes possible to associate a SpecialJoinInfo with every join attempt,
which permits some cleanup of join selectivity estimation. That needs to be
taken much further than this patch does, but the next step is to change the
API for oprjoin selectivity functions, which seems like material for a
separate patch. So for the moment the output size estimates for semi and
especially anti joins are quite bogus.

This allows the use of a ramdrive (either through mount or symlink) for
the temporary file that's written every half second, which should
reduce I/O.
On server shutdown/startup, the file is written to the old location in
the global directory, to preserve data across restarts.
Bump catversion since the $PGDATA directory layout changed.

or domains). This was already effectively required because you had to own
the I/O functions, and the I/O functions pretty much have to be written in
C since we don't let PL functions take or return cstring. But given the
possible security consequences of a malicious type definition, it seems
prudent to enforce superuser requirement directly. Per recent discussion.

of the STRING type category, thereby opening up the mechanism for user-defined
types. This is mainly for the benefit of citext, though; there aren't likely
to be a lot of types that are all general-purpose character strings.
Per discussion with David Wheeler.

only type categories in which the previous coding made *every* type
preferred; so there is no change in effective behavior, because the function
resolution rules only do something different when faced with a choice
between preferred and non-preferred types in the same category. It just
seems safer and less surprising to have CREATE TYPE default to non-preferred
status ...

with system catalog lookups, as was foreseen to be necessary almost since
their creation. Instead put the information into two new pg_type columns,
typcategory and typispreferred. Add support for setting these when
creating a user-defined base type.
The category column is just a "char" (i.e. a poor man's enum), allowing
a crude form of user extensibility of the category list: just use an
otherwise-unused character. This seems sufficient for foreseen uses,
but we could upgrade to having an actual category catalog someday, if
there proves to be a huge demand for custom type categories.
In this patch I have attempted to hew exactly to the behavior of the
previous hardwired logic, except for introducing new type categories for
arrays, composites, and enums. In particular the default preferred state
for user-defined types remains TRUE. That seems worth revisiting, but it
should be done as a separate patch from introducing the infrastructure.
Likewise, any adjustment of the standard set of categories should be done
separately.

need to deconstruct proargmodes for each pg_proc entry inspected by
FuncnameGetCandidates(). Fixes function lookup performance regression
caused by yesterday's variadic-functions patch.
In passing, make pg_proc.probin be NULL, rather than a dummy value '-',
in cases where it is not actually used for the particular type of function.
This should buy back some of the space cost of the extra column.
|

so long as all the trailing arguments are of the same (non-array) type.
The function receives them as a single array argument (which is why they
have to all be the same type).
It might be useful to extend this facility to aggregates, but this patch
doesn't do that.
This patch imposes a noticeable slowdown on function lookup --- a follow-on
patch will fix that by adding a redundant column to pg_proc.

on the most common individual lexemes in place of the mostly-useless default
behavior of counting duplicate tsvectors. Future work: create selectivity
estimation functions that actually do something with these stats.
(Some other things we ought to look at doing: using the Lossy Counting
algorithm in compute_minimal_stats, and using the element-counting idea for
stats on regular arrays.)

Also change documentation to prefer the term "binary coercible" in its
present sense instead of the previous term "binary compatible".

As the buffer could now be a lot larger than before, and copying it could
thus be a lot more expensive than before, use strcpy instead of memcpy to
copy the query string, as was already suggested in comments. Also, only copy
the PgBackendStatus struct and string if the slot is in use.

grammar allows ALTER TABLE/INDEX/SEQUENCE/VIEW interchangeably for all
subforms of those commands, and then we sort out what's really legal
at execution time. This allows the ALTER SEQUENCE/VIEW reference pages
to fully document all the ALTER forms available for sequences and views
respectively, and eliminates a longstanding cause of confusion for users.
The net effect is that the following forms are allowed that weren't before:
ALTER SEQUENCE OWNER TO
ALTER VIEW ALTER COLUMN SET/DROP DEFAULT
ALTER VIEW OWNER TO
ALTER VIEW SET SCHEMA
(There's no actual functionality gain here, but formerly you had to say
ALTER TABLE instead.)
Interestingly, the grammar tables actually get smaller, probably because
there are fewer special cases to keep track of.
I did not disallow using ALTER TABLE for these operations. Perhaps we
should, but there's a backwards-compatibility issue if we do; in fact
it would break existing pg_dump scripts. I did however tighten up
ALTER SEQUENCE and ALTER VIEW to reject non-sequences and non-views
in the new cases as well as a couple of cases where they didn't before.
The patch doesn't change pg_dump to use the new syntaxes, either.
