Also, tweak -C option (emit CREATE DATABASE command) to emit encoding
name rather than encoding number, for consistency with pg_dumpall
and better cross-version portability.

a result of at most 128 chars, but that could be more than 128 bytes.
Also ensure we don't try to pfree uninitialized pointers during error
cleanup.

Ok, fair enough. I've attached a revised version of the patch -- let me
know you think it needs further improvements.

From the SSL_CTX_new man page:

"SSLv23_method(void), SSLv23_server_method(void), SSLv23_client_method(void)

 A TLS/SSL connection established with these methods will understand the SSLv2,
 SSLv3, and TLSv1 protocol. A client will send out SSLv2 client hello messages
 and will indicate that it also understands SSLv3 and TLSv1. A server will
 understand SSLv2, SSLv3, and TLSv1 client hello messages. This is the best
 choice when compatibility is a concern."

This will maintain backwards compatibility for those us that don't use
TLS connections ...

It doesn't leak memory anymore ...

retrieved.  This cannot happen in ordinary execution, but it can happen
under EvalPlanQual().

executor.

the cons cell it's deleting from the list.  Do this, and fix a few callers
that were bogusly assuming it wouldn't free the cons cell.

allocation in best_inner_indexscan().  While at it, simplify GEQO's
interface to the main planner --- make_join_rel() offers exactly the
API it really wants, whereas calling make_rels_by_clause_joins() and
make_rels_by_clauseless_joins() required jumping through hoops.
Rewrite gimme_tree for clarity (sometimes iteration is much better than
recursion), and approximately halve GEQO's runtime by recognizing that
tours of the forms (a,b,c,d,...) and (b,a,c,d,...) are equivalent
because of symmetry in make_join_rel().

disallowed by CREATE TABLE (eg, pseudo-types); also disallow these types
from being introduced by the range-function syntax.  While at it, allow
CREATE TABLE to create zero-column tables, per recent pghackers discussion.
I am back-patching this into 7.3 since failure to disallow pseudo-types
is arguably a security hole.

practice of evaluating MemSet's arguments multiple times, except for
the special case of newNode(), where we can assume the argument is
a constant sizeof() operator.
Also, add GetMemoryChunkContext() to mcxt.c's API, in preparation for
fixing recent GEQO breakage.

given any malloc block until something is first allocated in it; but
thereafter, MemoryContextReset won't release that first malloc block.
This preserves the quick-reset property of the original policy, without
forcing 8K to be allocated to every context whether any of it is ever
used or not.  Also, remove some more no-longer-needed explicit freeing
during ExecEndPlan.

a per-query memory context created by CreateExecutorState --- and destroyed
by FreeExecutorState.  This provides a final solution to the longstanding
problem of memory leaked by various ExecEndNode calls.

failing to find pg_hba.conf should be a fatal error anyway, so I
increased the priority of the elog() from LOG to FATAL and refactored
the code a little bit.

pqcomm.c, switched the ERROR logs to COMMERROR logs and it all works.
I've attached a patch to be-secure.c that fixes all my problems.
