Egypt and Palestine. Added new names for two Micronesian timezones: Pacific/Chuuk is now preferred over Pacific/Truk (and the preferred abbreviation is CHUT not TRUT) and Pacific/Pohnpei is preferred over Pacific/Ponape. Historical corrections for Finland.

returning "record" actually do have the same rowtype. This is needed because the parser can't realistically enforce that they will all have the same typmod, as seen in a recent example from David Wheeler. Back-patch to 8.0, which is as far back as we have the notion of RECORD subtypes being distinguished by typmod. Wheeler's example depends on 8.4-and-up features, but I suspect there may be ways to provoke similar failures before 8.4.

build tree. If we actually build the docs in the VPATH tree, those dirs will get created then; but if they're present and empty, they capture the vpathsearch searches in "make install", preventing installation of prebuilt docs that might exist in the source tree. Per bug #5595 from Dmtiriy Igrishin. Fix based on idea from Peter Eisentraut.

It turns out that some platforms return ENOMEM for a request that violates SHMALL, whereas we were assuming that ENOSPC would always be used for that. Apparently the latter is a Linuxism while ENOMEM is the BSD tradition. Extend the ENOMEM hint to suggest that raising SHMALL might be needed. Per gripe from A.M. Backpatch to 9.0, but not further, because this doesn't seem important enough to warrant creating extra translation work in the stable branches. (If it were, we'd have figured this out years ago.)

files automatically. Otherwise, the following could happen: When starting from a clean source tree, the first build would delete the intermediate file, but also create the dependency file, which mentions the intermediate file, thus making it non-intermediate. The second build will then need to rebuild the now non-intermediate missing file. So the second build will do work even though nothing had changed. One place where this happens is the .c -> .o -> .so chain for some contrib modules.

There is no reason that proc.c should have to get involved in this dirty hack for letting the postmaster know which children are walsenders. Revert that file to the way it was, and confine the kluge to pmsignal.c and postmaster.c.

array_in discards unquoted leading and trailing whitespace in array values, while array_out is careful to quote array elements that contain whitespace. This is problematic when the definition of "whitespace" varies between locales: array_in could drop characters that were meant to be part of the value. To avoid that, lock down "whitespace" to mean only the traditional six ASCII space characters. This change also works around a bug in OS X and some older BSD systems, in which isspace() could return true for character fragments in UTF8 locales. (There may be other places in PG where that bug could cause problems, but this is the only one complained of so far; see recent report from Steven Schlansker.) Back-patch to 9.0, but not further. Given the lack of previous reports of trouble, changing this behavior in stable branches seems to offer more risk of breaking applications than reward of avoiding problems.

The original coding tended to break down in the face of modified restore orders, as shown in bug #5626 from Albert Ullrich, because it would flip over into parallel-restore operation too soon. That causes problems because we don't have sufficient dependency information in dump archives to allow safe parallel processing of SECTION_PRE_DATA items. Even if we did, it's probably undesirable to allow that to override the commanded restore order. To fix the problem of omitted items causing unexpected changes in restore order, tweak SortTocFromFile so that omitted items end up at the head of the list not the tail. This ensures that they'll be examined and their dependencies will be marked satisfied before we get to any interesting items. In HEAD and 9.0, we can easily change restore_toc_entries_parallel so that all SECTION_PRE_DATA items are guaranteed to be processed in the initial serial-restore loop, and hence in commanded order. Only DATA and POST_DATA items are candidates for parallel processing. For them there might be variations from the commanded order because of parallelism, but we should do it in a safe order thanks to dependencies. In 8.4 it's much harder to make such a guarantee. I settled for not letting the initial loop break out into parallel processing mode if it sees a DATA/POST_DATA item that's not to be restored; this at least prevents a non-restorable item from causing premature exit from the loop. This means that 8.4 will be more likely to fail given a badly-ordered -L list than 9.x, but we don't really promise any such thing will work anyway.

Per gripe from Fujii Masao, though this is not exactly his proposed patch. Categorize as DEVELOPER_OPTIONS and set context PGC_SIGHUP, as per Fujii, but set the default to LOG because higher values aren't really sensible (see the code for trace_recovery()). Fix the documentation to agree with the code and to try to explain what the variable actually does. Get rid of no-op calls trace_recovery(LOG), which accomplish nothing except to demonstrate that this option confuses even its author.

Aside from being more forgiving, this prevents a rather surprising misbehavior when the "wrong" order was used: the old code didn't throw a syntax error, but absorbed the INTO clause into the last USING expression, which then did strange things downstream. Intentionally not changing the documentation; we'll continue to advertise only the "standard" clause order. Backpatch to 8.4, where the USING clause was added to EXECUTE.

It's not clear if this situation can occur in plpgsql other than via the EXECUTE USING case Heikki illustrated, which I will shortly close off. However, ignoring the intoClause if it's there is surely wrong, so let's patch it for safety. Backpatch to 8.3, which is as far back as this code has a PlannedStmt to deal with. There might be another way to make an equivalent test before that, but since this is just preventing hypothetical bugs, I'm not going to obsess about it.

pointed out, it would need a 2nd pass after the whole query is processed to correctly check that an unknown Param is coerced to the same target type everywhere. Adding the 2nd pass would add a lot more code, which doesn't seem worth the risk given that there isn't much of a use case for passing unknown Params in the first place. The code would work without that check, but it might be confusing and the behavior would be different from the varparams case. Instead, just coerce all unknown params in a PL/pgSQL USING clause to text. That's simple, and is usually what users expect. Revert the patch in CVS HEAD and master, and backpatch the new solution to 8.4. Unlike the previous solution, this applies easily to 8.4 too.
