immutable, because their results depend on lc_numeric; this is a longstanding
oversight. We cannot force initdb for this in the back branches, but we can
at least provide correct catalog entries for future installations.

(in particular, causing the ReadyForQuery message to be eaten) before
returning from do_copy. The only known consequence of failing to do so is
that get_prompt might show a wrong result for the %x transaction status
escape, as reported by Bernd Helmle; but it's possible there are other issues.
Back-patch as far as 7.4, the oldest version supporting %x.

cause any serious harm in normal cases, but if you have gcc buffer overrun

was already fixed in CVS HEAD.

preference for filling pages out-of-order tends to confuse the sanity checks
in md.c, as per report from Balazs Nagy in bug #2737. The fix is to ensure
that the smgr-level code always has the same idea of the logical EOF as the
hash index code does, by using ReadBuffer(P_NEW) where we are adding a single
page to the end of the index, and using smgrextend() to reserve a large batch
of pages when creating a new splitpoint. The patch is a bit ugly because it
avoids making any changes in md.c, which seems the most prudent approach for a
backpatchable beta-period fix. After 8.3 development opens, I'll take a look
at a cleaner but more invasive patch, in particular getting rid of the now
unnecessary hack to allow reading beyond EOF in mdread().
Backpatch as far as 7.4. The bug likely exists in 7.3 as well, but because
of the magnitude of the 7.3-to-7.4 changes in hash, the later-version patch
doesn't even begin to apply. Given the other known bugs in the 7.3-era hash
code, it does not seem worth trying to develop a separate patch for 7.3.

sub-arrays. Per discussion, if all inputs are empty arrays then result
must be an empty array too, whereas a mix of empty and nonempty arrays
should (and already did) draw an error. In the back branches, the
construct was strict: any NULL input immediately yielded a NULL output;
so I left that behavior alone. HEAD was simply ignoring NULL sub-arrays,
which doesn't seem very sensible. For lack of a better idea it now
treats NULL sub-arrays the same as empty ones.

_bt_pagedel to recover from the failure: just search the whole parent level
if searching to the right fails. This does nothing for the underlying problem
that index keys became out-of-order in the grandparent level. However, we
believe that there is no other consequence worse than slightly inefficient
searching, so this narrow patch seems like the safest solution for the back
branches.

sin_port in the returned IP address struct when servname is NULL. This has
been observed to cause failure to bind the stats collection socket, and
could perhaps cause other issues too. Per reports from Brad Nicholson
and Chris Browne.

I introduced in 7.4.1 :-(. It's correct to allow unknown to be coerced to
ANY or ANYELEMENT, since it's a real-enough data type, but it most certainly
isn't an array datatype. This can cause a backend crash but AFAICT is not
exploitable as a security hole. Per report from Michael Fuhr.
Note: as fixed in HEAD, this changes a constant in the pg_stats view,
resulting in a change in the expected regression outputs. The back-branch
patches have been hacked to avoid that, so that pre-existing installations
won't start failing their regression tests.

attislocal = true, since they are not really inherited but merely copied
from the original table. I'm not sure if there are any cases where it makes
a real difference given the existing uses of the flag, but wrong is wrong.
This was fixed in passing in HEAD by the LIKE INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS patch,
but never back-patched.

Formerly they'd emit '^foo|bar$' which is wrong because the anchors are
parsed as part of the alternatives; must emit '^(foo|bar)$' to get expected
behavior. Same as bug found previously in similar_escape(). Already fixed
in HEAD, this is just back-porting the part of that patch that was a bug fix.

tried a variant file from resultmap and it didn't match. This is already done
in HEAD's C-code version, and is needed because OpenBSD has recently migrated
to a more standard handling of float underflow --- see buildfarm results
from emu.

quote chars inside quote marks, should emit one quote *and stay in inquotes

poor documentation of the feature ...

overlapping possible matches for the separator string, such as
string_to_array('123xx456xxx789', 'xx').
Also, revise the logic of replace(), split_part(), and string_to_array()
to avoid O(N^2) work from redundant searches and conversions to pg_wchar
format when there are N matches to the separator string.
Backpatched the full patch as far as 8.0. 7.4 also has the bug, but the
code has diverged a lot, so I just went for a quick-and-dirty fix of the
bug itself in that branch.

and standard_conforming_strings. The encoding changes are needed for proper
escaping in multibyte encodings, as per the SQL-injection vulnerabilities
noted in CVE-2006-2313 and CVE-2006-2314. Concurrent fixes are being applied
to the server to ensure that it rejects queries that may have been corrupted
by attempted SQL injection, but this merely guarantees that unpatched clients
will fail rather than allow injection. An actual fix requires changing the
client-side code. While at it we have also fixed these routines to understand
about standard_conforming_strings, so that the upcoming changeover to SQL-spec
string syntax can be somewhat transparent to client code.
Since the existing API of PQescapeString and PQescapeBytea provides no way to
inform them which settings are in use, these functions are now deprecated in
favor of new functions PQescapeStringConn and PQescapeByteaConn. The new
functions take the PGconn to which the string will be sent as an additional
parameter, and look inside the connection structure to determine what to do.
So as to provide some functionality for clients using the old functions,
libpq stores the latest encoding and standard_conforming_strings values
received from the backend in static variables, and the old functions consult
these variables. This will work reliably in clients using only one Postgres
connection at a time, or even multiple connections if they all use the same
encoding and string syntax settings; which should cover many practical
scenarios.
Clients that use homebrew escaping methods, such as PHP's addslashes()
function or even hardwired regexp substitution, will require extra effort
to fix :-(. It is strongly recommended that such code be replaced by use of
PQescapeStringConn/PQescapeByteaConn if at all feasible.

parser will allow "\'" to be used to represent a literal quote mark. The
"\'" representation has been deprecated for some time in favor of the
SQL-standard representation "''" (two single quote marks), but it has been
used often enough that just disallowing it immediately won't do. Hence
backslash_quote allows the settings "on", "off", and "safe_encoding",
the last meaning to allow "\'" only if client_encoding is a valid server
encoding. That is now the default, and the reason is that in encodings
such as SJIS that allow 0x5c (ASCII backslash) to be the last byte of a
multibyte character, accepting "\'" allows SQL-injection attacks as per
CVE-2006-2314 (further details will be published after release). The
"on" setting is available for backward compatibility, but it must not be
used with clients that are exposed to untrusted input.
Thanks to Akio Ishida and Yasuo Ohgaki for identifying this security issue.

characters in all cases. Formerly we mostly just threw warnings for invalid
input, and failed to detect it at all if no encoding conversion was required.
The tighter check is needed to defend against SQL-injection attacks as per
CVE-2006-2313 (further details will be published after release). Embedded
zero (null) bytes will be rejected as well. The checks are applied during
input to the backend (receipt from client or COPY IN), so it no longer seems
necessary to check in textin() and related routines; any string arriving at
those functions will already have been validated. Conversion failure
reporting (for characters with no equivalent in the destination encoding)
has been cleaned up and made consistent while at it.
Also, fix a few longstanding errors in little-used encoding conversion
routines: win1251_to_iso, win866_to_iso, euc_tw_to_big5, euc_tw_to_mic,
mic_to_euc_tw were all broken to varying extents.

a multiple (OR'ed) indexscan. It was checking for duplicate
tuple->t_data->t_ctid, when what it should be checking is tuple->t_self.
The trouble situation occurs when a live tuple has t_ctid not pointing to
itself, which can happen if an attempted UPDATE was rolled back. After a
VACUUM, an unrelated tuple could be installed where the failed update tuple
was, leading to one live tuple's t_ctid pointing to an unrelated tuple.
If one of these tuples is fetched by an earlier OR'ed indexscan and the other
by a later indexscan, nodeIndexscan.c would incorrectly ignore the second
tuple. The bug exists in all 7.4.* and 8.0.* versions, but not in earlier
or later branches because this code was only used in those releases. Per
trouble report from Rafael Martinez Guerrero.

alternatives ("|" symbol). The original coding allowed the added ^ and $
constraints to be absorbed into the first and last alternatives, producing
a pattern that would match more than it should. Per report from Eric Noriega.
I also changed the pattern to add an ARE director ("***:"), ensuring that
SIMILAR TO patterns do not change behavior if regex_flavor is changed. This
is necessary to make the non-capturing parentheses work, and seems like a
good idea on general principles.
Back-patched as far as 7.4. 7.3 also has the bug, but a fix seems impractical
because that version's regex engine doesn't have non-capturing parens.

passed extend = true whenever we are reading a page we intend to reinitialize
completely, even if we think the page "should exist". This is because it
might indeed not exist, if the relation got truncated sometime after the
current xlog record was made and before the crash we're trying to recover
from. These two thinkos appear to explain both of the old bug reports
discussed here:

to try to create a log segment file concurrently, but the code erroneously
specified O_EXCL to open(), resulting in a needless failure. Before 7.4,
it was even a PANIC condition :-(. Correct code is actually simpler than
what we had, because we can just say O_CREAT to start with and not need a
second open() call. I believe this accounts for several recent reports of
hard-to-reproduce "could not create file ...: File exists" errors in both
pg_clog and pg_subtrans.
