The patch was taken from the CVS version.

I have modified the plpython.c file and have added a test sql script for
testing the functionality. It was actually the script that was in the
8.0.3 version but have since been removed.

In order to signal the end of a set, the called python function must
simply return plpy.EndOfSet and the set would be returned.

The content of the patch is as follows:

(1)Create shortcut when subtext was not found.

(2)Stop using LEFT and RIGHT macro.
In LEFT and RIGHT macro, TEXTPOS is executed by the same content as
execution immediately before. The execution frequency of TEXTPOS can be
reduced by using text_substring instead of LEFT and RIGHT macro.

(3)Add appendStringInfoText, and use it instead of
appendStringInfoString.
There is an overhead of PG_TEXT_GET_STR when appendStringInfoString is
executed by text type. This can be reduced by appendStringInfoText.

(4)Reduce execution of TEXTDUP.

The effect of the patch that I measured is as follows:

- The Data for test was created by 'pgbench -i'.

- Test SQL:
 select replace(aid, '9', 'A') from accounts;

- Test results: Linux(CPU: Pentium III, Compiler option: -O2)
 original: 1.515s
 patched:  1.250s

chdir into PGDATA and subsequently use relative paths instead of absolute
paths to access all files under PGDATA.  This seems to give a small
performance improvement, and it should make the system more robust
against naive DBAs doing things like moving a database directory that
has a live postmaster in it.  Per recent discussion.

You were correct. This patch fixes it.

auto-detection of AES.

Now openssl.c just checks OpenSSL version.  Whoever compiles
newer OpenSSL without AES is on his own.

able to do this before, but I had tried to make an exception for functions
with OUT parameters.  Michael Fuhr found one problem with it already, and
I found another, which was it didn't work for strict functions with a
NULL input.  While both of these could be worked around, the probability
that there are more gotchas seems high; I think prudence dictates just
reverting to the former behavior for now.  Accordingly, remove the kluge
added to get_expr_result_type() for Michael's case.

relies on the output of zic being platform independent, but that is
currently the case.

through multiple join clauses.

(currently in beta) when cryptolib = openssl.  According to the
following checkin message from several years ago, OpenSSL application
developers should no longer rely on <openssl/evp.h> to include
everything they need:

http://cvs.openssl.org/chngview?cn=9888

This patch adds the necessary header files.  It doesn't appear to
break anything when building against OpenSSL 0.9.7.

BTW, core appears to build and work fine with OpenSSL 0.9.8.  I've
built 7.3 through HEAD against 0.9.8-beta6 without noticing any
problems.

propagated inside an outer join.  In particular, given
LEFT JOIN ON (A = B) WHERE A = constant, we cannot conclude that
B = constant at the top level (B might be null instead), but we
can nonetheless put a restriction B = constant into the quals for
B's relation, since no inner-side rows not meeting that condition
can contribute to the final result.  Similarly, given
FULL JOIN USING (J) WHERE J = constant, we can't directly conclude
that either input J variable = constant, but it's OK to push such
quals into each input rel.  Per recent gripe from Kim Bisgaard.
Along the way, remove 'valid_everywhere' flag from RestrictInfo,
as on closer analysis it was not being used for anything, and was
defined backwards anyway.

indexing circles is very handy for distance searches.
