      Implement archive_timeout feature to force xlog file switches to occur no more · e8ea9e95

      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.

      Produce a clean failure in configure when dtrace is selected but cannot be · bb764e94

      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.

      Fix an oversight in mergejoin planning: the planner would reject a · 92c651f8
      Tom Lane authored
      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.

      Teach convert_subquery_pathkeys() to handle the case where the · 144b0ae8
      Tom Lane authored
      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.

      Cause '*' and 'foo.*' notations to mark the referenced RTE(s) as · 58538a0f
      Tom Lane authored
      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.

      Fix oversight in initial implementation of PORTAL_ONE_RETURNING mode: we · 65b2f93b
      Tom Lane authored
      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.

      When executing a list of queries derived from rule expansion, · 29fa0513
      Tom Lane authored
      _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.

      Remove hash_destroy calls in hash_create's failure paths. As noted by · c859294c
      Tom Lane authored
      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).
      Per report from Martijn van Oosterhout.

      Get rid of "lookahead" functionality in plpgsql's yylex() function, · 36481474
      Tom Lane authored
      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.

      Tom Lane authored
      merely a matter of fixing the error check, since the underlying Portal
      infrastructure already handles it.  This in turn allows these statements
      to be used in some existing plpgsql and plperl contexts, such as a
      plpgsql FOR loop.  Also, do some marginal code cleanup in places that
      were being sloppy about distinguishing SELECT from SELECT INTO.
