and move the context information into errcontext instead of errmsg.
This makes them better conform to our guidelines.

Also remove a few errcode declarations that were providing the default
value ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR.

until we can work out portability issues the build farm uncovered.

In passing avoid fsyncing subdirectories twice.

Also adjust documentation of DO.

Patch from David Fetter and subsequent discussion.

Display explain buffers measurements in memory units rather than blocks. Also show "Total Buffer Usage" to hint that these are totals not averages per loop

all the data and using posix_fadvise to nudge the OS into flushing it
earlier. This also hopefully makes CREATE DATABASE avoid spamming the
cache.

Tests show a big speedup on Linux at least on some filesystems.

Idea and patch from Andres Freund.

The purpose of this change is to eliminate the need for every caller
of SearchSysCache, SearchSysCacheCopy, SearchSysCacheExists,
GetSysCacheOid, and SearchSysCacheList to know the maximum number
of allowable keys for a syscache entry (currently 4).  This will
make it far easier to increase the maximum number of keys in a
future release should we choose to do so, and it makes the code
shorter, too.

directory and not just the individual files.

Back-patch to 8.1 -- before that we just called "cp -r" and never
fsynced anything anyways.

All information we need is not available on Windows, but the number of
assumptions are at least fewer this way than before.

platforms, evidently because the inline function gets compiled despite lack of
use.  Per buildfarm member warthog.

Message is reset earlier and potential bug avoided.

compilers, by applying a configure check to see if the compiler will accept
an unreferenced "static inline foo ..." function without warnings.  It is
believed that such warnings are the only reason not to declare inlined
functions in headers, if the compiler understands "inline" at all.

process. If startup waits on a buffer pin we send a request to all
backends to cancel themselves if they are holding the buffer pin
required and they are also waiting on a lock. If not, startup waits
until max_standby_delay before cancelling any backend waiting for
the requested buffer pin.

Analysis and patch by me.

before we start analyzing the parent statement.  This is to make it
more clear that the WITH isn't affected by anything in the parent.
I don't believe there's any actual bug here, because the stuff that
was being done before WITH didn't affect subqueries; but it's certainly
a potential for error (and apparently misled Marko into committing some
real errors...).

that happens to be composite itself.  Per bug #5314 from Oleg Serov.

Backpatch to 8.0 --- 7.4 has got too many other shortcomings in
composite-type support to make this worth worrying about in that branch.

Add plperl.on_plperl_init and plperl.on_plperlu_init settings for language-specific startup. Rename recently added plperl.on_perl_init to plperl.on_init. Also, code cleanup for utf8 hack. Patch from Tim Bunce, reviewed by Alex Hunsaker.

This patch allows the frame to start from CURRENT ROW (in either RANGE or
ROWS mode), and it also adds support for ROWS n PRECEDING and ROWS n FOLLOWING
start and end points.  (RANGE value PRECEDING/FOLLOWING isn't there yet ---
the grammar works, but that's all.)

Remove the "starting archive recovery" message and replace the

a partial WAL file, assume it's because the file is just being copied to
the archive and treat it the same as "file not found" in standby mode.
pg_standby has a similar check, so it seems reasonable to have the same
level of protection in the built-in standby mode.

Using self-balanced tree greatly speeds up index creation in corner cases

the end of recovery. Fix assertion that assumed that.

The previous coding missed a bet by sometimes picking the "sorted" path
from query_planner even though hashing would be preferable.  To fix, we have
to be willing to make the choice sooner.  This contorts things a little bit,
but I thought of a factorization that makes it not too awful.
