work in the same area, too.

Fixed parsing of CONNECT statement so it accepts a C string again.

than N seconds apart.  This allows a simple, if not very high performance,
means of guaranteeing that a PITR archive is no more than N seconds behind
real time.  Also make pg_current_xlog_location return the WAL Write pointer,
add pg_current_xlog_insert_location to return the Insert pointer, and fix
pg_xlogfile_name_offset to return its results as a two-element record instead
of a smashed-together string, as per recent discussion.

found.  Besides stopping those early who have no dtrace installed
whatsoever, this will also alert those who have dtrace in /usr/sbin, which
might not be in the path, which would produce confusing failures much later
in the build process.

Add documentation about pointing configure to find dtrace.

mergejoin possibility where the inner rel was less well sorted than
the outer (ie, it matches some but not all of the merge clauses that
can work with the outer), if the inner path in question is also the
overall cheapest path for its rel.  This is an old bug, but I'm not
sure it's worth back-patching, because it's such a corner case.
Noted while investigating a test case from Peter Hardman.

subquery's pathkey is a RelabelType applied to something that appears
in the subquery's output; for example where the subquery returns a
varchar Var and the sort order is shown as that Var coerced to text.
This comes up because varchar doesn't have its own sort operator.
Per example from Peter Hardman.

array_out to be used during early bootstrap, which eliminates the
former obstacle to giving OUT parameters to built-in functions.

such as debugging and performance measurement.  This consists of two features:
a table of "rendezvous variables" that allows separately-loaded shared
libraries to communicate, and a new GUC setting "local_preload_libraries"
that allows libraries to be loaded into specific sessions without explicit
cooperation from the client application.  To make local_preload_libraries
as flexible as possible, we do not restrict its use to superusers; instead,
it is restricted to load only libraries stored in $libdir/plugins/.  The
existing LOAD command has also been modified to allow non-superusers to
LOAD libraries stored in this directory.

This patch also renames the existing GUC variable preload_libraries to
shared_preload_libraries (after a suggestion by Simon Riggs) and does some
code refactoring in dfmgr.c to improve clarity.

requiring read permissions.  Up till now there was no possible case
in which the RTEs wouldn't already have ACL_SELECT set ... but now that
you can say something like 'INSERT INTO foo ... RETURNING *' this is
an essential step.  With this commit, a RETURNING clause adds the
requirement for SELECT permissions on the target table if and only if
the clause actually reads the value of at least one target-table column.

cannot assume that there's exactly one Query in the Portal, as we can for
ONE_SELECT mode, because non-SELECT queries might have extra queries added
during rule rewrites.  Fix things up so that we'll use ONE_RETURNING mode
when a Portal contains one primary (canSetTag) query and that query has
a RETURNING list.  This appears to be a second showstopper reason for running
the Portal to completion before we start to hand anything back --- we want
to be sure that the rule-added queries get run too.

as per yesterday's proposal.  Also make things a tad more orthogonal by
adding the recent STRICT addition to EXECUTE INTO.

_SPI_execute_plan's return code should reflect the type of the query
that is marked canSetTag, not necessarily the last one in the list.

This is arguably a bug fix, but I'm hesitant to back-patch it because
it's the sort of subtle change that might break someone's code, and it's
best not to do that kind of thing in point releases.

a Coverity warning, these are risky since the hashtable isn't necessarily
fully set up yet.  They're unnecessary anyway: a deletable hashtable
should be in a memory context that will be cleared following elog(ERROR).

values, due to concern about the patch.

and instead make the grammar production for the RETURN statement do the
heavy lifting.  The lookahead idea was copied from the main parser, but
it does not work in plpgsql's parser because here gram.y looks explicitly
at the scanner's yytext variable, which will be out of sync after a
failed lookahead step.  A minimal example is

create or replace function foo() returns void language plpgsql as '
begin
  perform return foo bar;
end';

which can be seen by testing to deliver "foo foo bar" to the main parser
instead of the expected "return foo bar".  This isn't a huge bug since
RETURN is not found in the main grammar, but it could bite someone who
tried to use "return" as an identifier.

Back-patch to 8.1.  Bug exists further back, but HEAD patch doesn't apply
cleanly, and given the lack of field complaints it doesn't seem worth
the effort to develop adjusted patches.

well as vacuum_cost_delay.  Since datestyle is a string variable,
this exercises memory allocation issues that might not appear when
modifying an integer GUC variable.  Also, we can observe the side
effects of changing datestyle to check that assign hooks are called
at the right times.
