occurs when it tries to heap_open pg_tablespace. When control returns to
smgrcreate, that routine will be holding a dangling pointer to a closed
SMgrRelation, resulting in mayhem. This is of course a consequence of
the violation of proper module layering inherent in having smgr.c call
a tablespace command routine, but the simplest fix seems to be to change
the locking mechanism. There's no real need for TablespaceCreateDbspace
to touch pg_tablespace at all --- it's only opening it as a way of locking
against a parallel DROP TABLESPACE command. A much better answer is to
create a special-purpose LWLock to interlock these two operations.
This drops TablespaceCreateDbspace quite a few layers down the food chain
and makes it something reasonably safe for smgr to call.

files: avoid creating stats hashtable entries for tables that aren't being
touched except by vacuum/analyze, ensure that entries for dropped tables are
removed promptly, and tweak the data layout to avoid storing useless struct
padding. Also improve the performance of pgstat_vacuum_tabstat(), and make
sure that autovacuum invokes it exactly once per autovac cycle rather than
multiple times or not at all. This should cure recent complaints about 8.1
showing much higher stats I/O volume than was seen in 8.0. It'd still be a
good idea to revisit the design with an eye to not re-writing the entire
stats dataset every half second ... but that would be too much to backpatch,
I fear.

cursors. Patch from Joachim Wieland, review and ediorialization by Neil
Conway. The view lists cursors defined by DECLARE CURSOR, using SPI, or
via the Bind message of the frontend/backend protocol. This means the
view does not list the unnamed portal or the portal created to implement
EXECUTE. Because we do list SPI portals, there might be more rows in
this view than you might expect if you are using SPI implicitly (e.g.
via a procedural language).
Per recent discussion on -hackers, the query string included in the
view for cursors defined by DECLARE CURSOR is based on
debug_query_string. That means it is not accurate if multiple queries
separated by semicolons are submitted as one query string. However,
there doesn't seem a trivial fix for that: debug_query_string
is better than nothing. I also changed SPI_cursor_open() to include
the source text for the portal it creates: AFAICS there is no reason
not to do this.
Update the documentation and regression tests, bump the catversion.

an array of regtype, rather than an array of OIDs. This is likely to
be more useful to user, and the type OID can easily be obtained by
casting a regtype value to OID. Per suggestion from Tom.
Update the documentation and regression tests, and bump the catversion.

permissions on the functions and operators contained in the opclass.
Since we already require superuser privilege to create an operator class,
there's no expansion-of-privilege hazard here, but if someone were to get
the idea of building an opclass containing functions that need security
restrictions, we'd better warn them off. Also, change the permission
checks from have-execute-privilege to have-ownership, and then comment
them all out since they're dead code anyway under the superuser restriction.

type definition. Because use of a type's I/O conversion functions isn't
access-checked, CREATE TYPE amounts to granting public execute permissions
on the functions, and so allowing it to anybody means that someone could
theoretically gain access to a function he's not supposed to be able to
execute. The parameter-type restrictions already enforced by CREATE TYPE
make it fairly unlikely that this oversight is meaningful in practice,
but still it seems like a good idea to plug the hole going forward.
Also, document the implicit grant just in case anybody gets the idea of
building I/O functions that might need security restrictions.

our own command (or more generally, xmin = our xact and cmin >= current
command ID) should not be seen as good. Else we may try to update rows
we already updated. This error was inserted last August while fixing the
even bigger problem that the old coding wouldn't see *any* tuples inserted
by our own transaction as good. Per report from Euler Taveira de Oliveira.

access information about the prepared statements that are available
in the current session. Original patch from Joachim Wieland, various
improvements by Neil Conway.
The "statement" column of the view contains the literal query string
sent by the client, without any rewriting or pretty printing. This
means that prepared statements created via SQL will be prefixed with
"PREPARE ... AS ", whereas those prepared via the FE/BE protocol will
not. That is unfortunate, but discussion on -patches did not yield an
efficient way to improve this, and there is some merit in returning
exactly what the client sent to the backend.
Catalog version bumped, regression tests updated.

if (c == '\\' && cstate->line_buf.len == 0)
The problem with that is the because of the input and _output_
buffering, cstate->line_buf.len could be zero even if we are not on the
first character of a line. In fact, for a typical line, it is zero for
all characters on the line. The proper solution is to introduce a
boolean, first_char_in_line, that we set as we enter the loop and clear
once we process a character.
I have restructured the line-reading code in copy.c by:
o merging the CSV/non-CSV functions into a single function
o used macros to centralize and clarify the buffering code
o updated comments
o renamed client_encoding_only to encoding_embeds_ascii
o added a high-bit test to the encoding_embeds_ascii test for
performance
o in CSV mode, allow a backslash followed by a non-period to
continue being processed as a data value
There should be no performance impact from this patch because it is
functionally equivalent. If you apply the patch you will see copy.c is
much clearer in this area now and might suggest additional
optimizations.
I have also attached a 8.1-only patch to fix the CSV \. handling bug
with no code restructuring.

if we already have a stronger lock due to the index's table being the
update target table of the query. Same optimization I applied earlier
at the table level. There doesn't seem to be much interest in the more
radical idea of not locking indexes at all, so do what we can ...

"ctid IN (list)" will still work after we convert IN to ScalarArrayOpExpr.
Make some minor efficiency improvements while at it, such as ensuring that
multiple TIDs are fetched in physical heap order. And fix EXPLAIN so that
it shows what's really going on for a TID scan.

comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib

in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).

process of dropping roles by dropping objects owned by them and privileges
granted to them, or giving the owned objects to someone else, through the
use of the data stored in the new pg_shdepend catalog.
Some refactoring of the GRANT/REVOKE code was needed, as well as ALTER OWNER
code. Further cleanup of code duplication in the GRANT code seems necessary.
Implemented by me after an idea from Tom Lane, who also provided various kind
of implementation advice.
Regression tests pass. Some tests for the new functionality are also added,
as well as rudimentary documentation.

create circularity of role memberships. This is a minimum-impact fix
for the problem reported by Florian Pflug. I thought about removing
the superuser_arg test from is_member_of_role() altogether, as it seems
redundant for many of the callers --- but not all, and it's way too late
in the 8.1 cycle to be making large changes. Perhaps reconsider this
later.

properly advancing the CommandCounter between multiple sub-queries
generated by rules, we forgot to update the snapshot being used, so
that the successive sub-queries didn't actually see each others'
results. This is still not *exactly* like the semantics of normal
execution of the same queries, in that we don't take new transaction
snapshots and hence don't see changes from concurrently committed
commands, but I think that's OK and probably even preferable for
EXPLAIN ANALYZE.

argument as a 'regclass' value instead of a text string. The frontend
conversion of text string to pg_class OID is now encapsulated as an
implicitly-invocable coercion from text to regclass. This provides
backwards compatibility to the old behavior when the sequence argument
is explicitly typed as 'text'. When the argument is just an unadorned
literal string, it will be taken as 'regclass', which means that the
stored representation will be an OID. This solves longstanding problems
with renaming sequences that are referenced in default expressions, as
well as new-in-8.1 problems with renaming such sequences' schemas or
moving them to another schema. All per recent discussion.
Along the way, fix some rather serious problems in dbmirror's support
for mirroring sequence operations (int4 vs int8 confusion for instance).

in which invalid page data could be transiently written to disk by
concurrent bgwriter activity. There doesn't seem any risk of loss of
actual user data, but an empty page could possibly be left corrupt if a
crash occurs before the correct data gets written out. Pointed out by
Alvaro Herrera.

for procedural languages. This replaces the hard-wired table I had
originally proposed as a stopgap solution. For the moment, the initial
contents only include languages shipped with the core distribution.
|
|
as per my recent proposal. For now the template data is hard-wired in
proclang.c --- this should be replaced later by a new shared system
catalog, but we don't want to force initdb during 8.1 beta. This change
lets us cleanly load existing dump files even if they contain outright
wrong information about a PL's support functions, such as a wrong path
to the shared library or a missing validator function. Also, we can
revert the recent kluges to make pg_dump dump PL support functions that
are stored in pg_catalog.
While at it, I removed the code in pg_regress that replaced $libdir
with a hardcoded path for temporary installations. This is no longer
needed given our support for relocatable installations.

on a page, as suggested by ITAGAKI Takahiro. Also, change a few places
that were using some other estimates of max-items-per-page to consistently
use MaxOffsetNumber. This is conservatively large --- we could have used
the new MaxHeapTuplesPerPage macro, or a similar one for index tuples ---
but those places are simply declaring a fixed-size buffer and assuming it
will work, rather than actively testing for overrun. It seems safer to
size these buffers in a way that can't overflow even if the page is
corrupt.

discussion of getting around this by relaxing the checks made for regular
users, but I'm disinclined to toy with the security model right now,
so just special-case it for superusers where needed.
