Should've thought of that one earlier.

These entries could never be matched to an index clause because they don't
have the index datatype on the left-hand side of the operator.  (Their
commutators are in the opclass, which is sensible, but that doesn't mean
these operators should be.)  Spotted by a test that I recently added to
opr_sanity to catch exactly this type of thinko.  AFAICT there is no code
in gistproc.c that is specifically meant to cover these cases, so nothing
to remove at that level.

These were missed in commit a213f1ee,
which removed that function.

SP-GiST is comparable to GiST in flexibility, but supports non-balanced
partitioned search structures rather than balanced trees.  As described at
PGCon 2011, this new indexing structure can beat GiST in both index build
time and query speed for search problems that it is well matched to.

There are a number of areas that could still use improvement, but at this
point the code seems committable.

Per gripe from Thom Brown.

Heikki Linnakangas had the idea of rearranging GetSnapshotData to
avoid checking for sub-XIDs when no top-level XID is present.  This
patch does that plus further a bit of further, related rearrangement.
Benchmarking show a significant improvement on unlogged tables at
higher concurrency levels, and mostly indifferent result on permanent
tables (which are presumably bottlenecked elsewhere).  Most of the
benefit seems to come from using the new NormalTransactionIdPrecedes()
macro rather than the function call TransactionIdPrecedes().

Valid values are --pre-data, data and post-data. The option can be
given more than once. --schema-only is equivalent to
--section=pre-data --section=post-data. --data-only is equivalent
to --section=data.

This works the same as include, except that an error is not thrown
if the file is missing. Instead the fact that it's missing is
logged.

If the referrent of a name changes while we're waiting for the lock,
we must recheck permissons.  We also now check the relkind before
locking, since it's easy to do that long the way.

Patch by me; review by Noah Misch.

Previously, renaming a table, sequence, view, index, foreign table,
column, or trigger checked permissions before locking the object, which
meant that if permissions were revoked during the lock wait, we would
still allow the operation.  Similarly, if the original object is dropped
and a new one with the same name is created, the operation will be allowed
if we had permissions on the old object; the permissions on the new
object don't matter.  All this is now fixed.

Along the way, attempting to rename a trigger on a foreign table now gives
the same error message as trying to create one there in the first place
(i.e. that it's not a table or view) rather than simply stating that no
trigger by that name exists.

Fixes an oversight in commit fc6d1006.

Lots of repetitive code was moved into new functions
PLy_spi_subtransaction_{begin,commit,abort}.

Suggested solution from Tom Lane. Problem discovered, probably not
for the first time, while testing the mingw-w64 32 bit compiler.

Backpatched to all live branches.

This allows dumping of a table definition but not its data, on a per table basis.
Table name patterns are supported just as for --exclude-table.

Removing this bit from xl_info allows us to restore the old limit of four
(not three) separate pages touched by a WAL record, which is needed for the
upcoming SP-GiST feature, and will likely be useful elsewhere in future.

When we implemented XLR_BKP_REMOVABLE in 2007, we had to do it like that
because no special WAL-visible action was taken when starting a backup.
However, now we force a segment switch when starting a backup, so a
compressing WAL archiver (such as pglesslog) that uses the state shown in
the current page header will not be fooled as to removability of backup
blocks.  The only downside is that the archiver will not return to
compressing mode for up to one WAL page after the backup is over, which is
a small price to pay for getting back the extra xl_info bit.  In any case
the archiver could look for XLOG_BACKUP_END records if it thought it was
worth the trouble to do so.

Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC since this is effectively a change in WAL format.

I forgot to change the functions to use the PG_GETARG_INET_PP() macro,
when I changed DatumGetInetP() to unpack the datum, like Datum*P macros
usually do. Also, I screwed up the definition of the PG_GETARG_INET_PP()
macro, and didn't notice because it wasn't used.

This fixes the memory leak when sorting inet values, as reported
by Jochen Erwied and debugged by Andres Freund. Backpatch to 8.3, like
the previous patch that broke it.

Remove some dead code, conditionally declare some items or call
some code, and fix one or two declarations.

This compiler, or at least the latest version of it, is currently broken, and
only passes the regression tests if built with -O0.

Marti Raudsepp, with additional paranoia by me.

we don't reach consistency before replaying all of the WAL. Rename the
variable to reachedConsistency, to make its intention clearer.

In master, that was an active bug because of the recent patch to
immediately PANIC if a reference to a missing page is found in WAL after
reaching consistency, as Tom Lane's test case demonstrated. In 9.1 and 9.0,
the only consequence was a misleading "consistent recovery state reached at
%X/%X" message in the log at the beginning of crash recovery (the database
is not consistent at that point yet). In 8.4, the log message was not
printed in crash recovery, even though there was a similar
reachedMinRecoveryPoint local variable that was also set early. So,
backpatch to 9.1 and 9.0.

lost. The only way we detect that at the moment is when write() fails when
we try to write to the socket.

Make sure all calls are protected by HAVE_READLINK, and get the buffer
overflow tests right.  Be a bit more paranoid about string length in
_tarWriteHeader(), too.

This situation won't set errno, so using %m will give an incorrect
error message.

We don't have any such platforms now, but might in the future.

Also, detect cases when a tablespace symlink points to a path that
is longer than we can handle, and give a warning.

Instead, add a function pg_tablespace_location(oid) used to return
the same information, and do this by reading the symbolic link.

Doing it this way makes it possible to relocate a tablespace when the
database is down by simply changing the symbolic link.

This patch creates an API whereby a btree index opclass can optionally
provide non-SQL-callable support functions for sorting.  In the initial
patch, we only use this to provide a directly-callable comparator function,
which can be invoked with a bit less overhead than the traditional
SQL-callable comparator.  While that should be of value in itself, the real
reason for doing this is to provide a datatype-extensible framework for
more aggressive optimizations, as in Peter Geoghegan's recent work.

If unable to connect to "postgres", try "template1".  This allows things to
work more smoothly in the case where the postgres database has been
dropped.  And just in case that's not good enough, also allow the user to
specify a maintenance database to be used for the initial connection, to
cover the case where neither postgres nor template1 is suitable.
