Simple oversight in commit 1cb108ef ---
recursively examining a subquery output column is only sane if the
original Var refers to a single output column.  Found by Kevin Grittner.

The pretty-printing logic in ruleutils.c operates by inserting a newline
and some indentation whitespace into strings that are already valid SQL.
This naturally results in leaving some trailing whitespace before the
newline in many cases; which can be annoying when processing the output
with other tools, as complained of by Joe Abbate.  We can fix that in
a pretty localized fashion by deleting any trailing whitespace before
we append a pretty-printing newline.  In addition, we have to modify the
code inserted by commit 2f582f76 so that
we also delete trailing whitespace when transposing items from temporary
buffers into the main result string, when a temporary item starts with a
newline.

This results in rather voluminous changes to the regression test results,
but it's easily verified that they are only removal of trailing whitespace.

Back-patch to 9.3, because the aforementioned commit resulted in many
more cases of trailing whitespace than had occurred in earlier branches.

Although the SQL spec forbids duplicate table aliases, historically
we've allowed queries like
    SELECT ... FROM tab1 x CROSS JOIN (tab2 x CROSS JOIN tab3 y) z
on the grounds that the aliased join (z) hides the aliases within it,
therefore there is no conflict between the two RTEs named "x".  The
LATERAL patch broke this, on the misguided basis that "x" could be
ambiguous if tab3 were a LATERAL subquery.  To avoid breaking existing
queries, it's better to allow this situation and complain only if
tab3 actually does contain an ambiguous reference.  We need only remove
the check that was throwing an error, because the column lookup code
is already prepared to handle ambiguous references.  Per bug #8444.

This is a similar fix as c6ec8793aa59d1842082e14b4b4aae7d4bd883fd
9.2. This should never happen in 9.3 and newer since the special case
cannot happen there, but this patch synchronizes up the code so there
is no confusion on why they're different. An empty block is as harmless
in 9.3 as it was in 9.2, and can safely be ignored.

Commit 9b4d52f2 failed to notice
that pg_regress_ecpg needed updating.

This patch was independently submitted by both David Rowley
and Andres Freund.

If a page is deleted, and reused for something else, just as a search is
following a rightlink to it from its left sibling, the search would continue
scanning whatever the new contents of the page are. That could lead to
incorrect query results, or even something more curious if the page is
reused for a different kind of a page.

To fix, modify the search algorithm to lock the next page before releasing
the previous one, and refrain from deleting pages from the leftmost branch
of the tree.

Add a new Concurrency section to the README, explaining why this works.
There is a lot more one could say about concurrency in GIN, but that's for

Pending patches for logical replication will use this to determine
which columns of a tuple ought to be considered as its candidate key.

This change prevents us from doing inappropriate subquery flattening in
cases such as dangerous functions hidden inside a sub-SELECT in the
targetlist of another sub-SELECT.  That could result in unexpected behavior
due to multiple evaluations of a volatile function, as in a recent
complaint from Etienne Dube.  It's been questionable from the very
beginning whether these functions should look into subqueries (as noted in
their comments), and this case seems to provide proof that they should.

Because the new code only descends into SubLinks, not SubPlans or
InitPlans, the change only affects the planner's behavior during
prepjointree processing and not later on --- for example, you can still get
it to use a volatile function in an indexqual if you wrap the function in
(SELECT ...).  That's a historical behavior, for sure, but it's reasonable
given that the executor's evaluation rules for subplans don't depend on
whether there are volatile functions inside them.  In any case, we need to
constrain the behavioral change as narrowly as we can to make this
reasonable to back-patch.

contain_volatile_functions() is best applied to the output of
expression_planner(), not its input, so that insertion of function
default arguments and constant-folding have been done.  (See comments
at CheckMutability, for instance.)  It's perhaps unlikely that anyone
will notice a difference in practice, but still we should do it properly.

In passing, change variable type from Node* to Expr* to reduce the net
number of casts needed.

Noted while perusing uses of contain_volatile_functions().

This avoids warnings from more-anal-than-average compilers, and might
prevent hidden syntax problems in the future.

ExecBuildSlotValueDescription() printed "null" for each dropped column in
a row being complained of by ExecConstraints().  This has some sanity in
terms of the underlying implementation, but is of course pretty surprising
to users.  To fix, we must pass the target relation's descriptor to
ExecBuildSlotValueDescription(), because the slot descriptor it had been
using doesn't get labeled with attisdropped markers.

Per bug #8408 from Maxim Boguk.  Back-patch to 9.2 where the feature of
printing row values in NOT NULL and CHECK constraint violation messages
was introduced.

Before jamming a desired targetlist into a plan node, one really ought to
make sure the plan node can handle projections, and insert a buffering
Result plan node if not.  planagg.c forgot to do this, which is a hangover
from the days when it only dealt with IndexScan plan types.  MergeAppend
doesn't project though, not to mention that it gets unhappy if you remove
its possibly-resjunk sort columns.  The code accidentally failed to fail
for cases in which the min/max argument was a simple Var, because the new
targetlist would be equivalent to the original "flat" tlist anyway.
For any more complex case, it's been broken since 9.1 where we introduced
the ability to optimize min/max using MergeAppend, as reported by Raphael
Bauduin.  Fix by duplicating the logic from grouping_planner that decides
whether we need a Result node.

In 9.2 and 9.1, this requires back-porting the tlist_same_exprs() function
introduced in commit 4387cf95, else we'd
uselessly add a Result node in cases that worked before.  It's rather
tempting to back-patch that whole commit so that we can avoid extra Result
nodes in mainline cases too; but I'll refrain, since that code hasn't
really seen all that much field testing yet.

Broken by my refactoring.

Per buildfarm results.  It looks like the older the Windows version, the
more errno codes it hasn't got ...

glibc, at least, is capable of returning "???" instead of anything useful
if it doesn't like the setting of LC_CTYPE.  If this happens, or in the
previously-known case of strerror() returning an empty string, try to
print the C macro name for the error code ("EACCES" etc).  Only if we
don't have the error code in our compiled-in list of popular error codes
(which covers most though not quite all of what's called out in the POSIX
spec) will we fall back to printing a numeric error code.  This should
simplify debugging.

Note that this functionality is currently only provided for %m in backend
ereport/elog messages.  That may be sufficient, since we don't fool with the
locale environment in frontend clients, but it's foreseeable that we might
want similar code in libpq for instance.

There was some talk of back-patching this, but let's see how the buildfarm
likes it first.  It seems likely that at least some of the POSIX-defined
error code symbols don't exist on all platforms.  I don't want to clutter
the entire list with #ifdefs, but we may need more than are here now.

These things didn't work because the planner omitted to do the necessary
preprocessing of a WindowFunc's argument list.  Add the few dozen lines
of code needed to handle that.

Although this sounds like a feature addition, it's really a bug fix because
the default-argument case was likely to crash previously, due to lack of
checking of the number of supplied arguments in the built-in window
functions.  It's not a security issue because there's no way for a
non-superuser to create a window function definition with defaults that
refers to a built-in C function, but nonetheless people might be annoyed
that it crashes rather than producing a useful error message.  So
back-patch as far as the patch applies easily, which turns out to be 9.2.
I'll put a band-aid in earlier versions as a separate patch.

(Note that these features still don't work for aggregates, and fixing that
case will be harder since we represent aggregate arg lists as target lists
not bare expression lists.  There's no crash risk though because CREATE
AGGREGATE doesn't accept defaults, and we reject named-argument notation
when parsing an aggregate call.)

Early close became apparent when invalidation messages were
processed in a new location under CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS builds, due
to additional locking.

Back-patch to 9.3

Not sure how I missed these in previous commit.

Merge the isEnoughSpace and placeToPage functions in the b-tree interface
into one function that tries to put a tuple on page, and returns false if
it doesn't fit.

Move createPostingTree function to gindatapage.c, and change its contract
so that it can be passed more items than fit on the root page. It's in a
better position than the callers to know how many items fit.

Move ginMergeItemPointers out of gindatapage.c, into a separate file.

These changes make no difference now, but reduce the footprint of Alexander
Korotkov's upcoming patch to pack item pointers more tightly.

For rather inscrutable reasons, SQL:2008 disallows copying-and-modifying a
window definition that has any explicit framing clause.  The error message
we gave for this only made sense if the referencing window definition
itself contains an explicit framing clause, which it might well not.
Moreover, in the context of an OVER clause it's not exactly obvious that
"OVER (windowname)" implies copy-and-modify while "OVER windowname" does
not.  This has led to multiple complaints, eg bug #5199 from Iliya
Krapchatov.  Change to a hopefully more intelligible error message, and
in the case where we have just "OVER (windowname)", add a HINT suggesting
that omitting the parentheses will fix it.  Also improve the related
documentation.  Back-patch to all supported branches.

The previous commit was intended to make psql show the full path name when
doing a \s (history save), but it was very badly implemented and would show
confusing if not outright wrong information in many situations; for
instance if the path name given to \s is absolute, or if \cd commands
involving relative paths have been issued.  Consensus seems to be that
we don't especially need this functionality in \s, and certainly not in \s
alone.  So revert rather than trying to fix it up.  Per gripe from
Ian Barwick.

Although the bogus behavior exists in all supported versions, I'm not
back-patching, because the work created for translators (by change of
a translatable message) would probably outweigh the value of what is
after all a mostly-cosmetic change.

The relation should not be accessible to any other process, but it
should be locked for consistency.  Since this is not known to
cause any bug, it will not be back-patch, at least for now.

Per report from Andres Freund

Constant quals aren't handled the same way they used to be.  Also,
add mention of a couple more major steps in grouping_planner.

Back-patch to 9.3.

Per report from Peter Eisentraut.

The parsing of WAL filenames of segments larger than > 255 was broken,
making pg_receivexlog unable to restart streaming after stopping it.

The bug was introduced by the changes in 9.3 to represent WAL segment number
as a 64-bit integer instead of two ints, log and seg. To fix, replace the
plain sscanf call with XLogFromFileName macro, which does the conversion
from log+seg to a 64-bit integer correcly.

Reported by Mika Eloranta.

I missed that json.c was doing this too, because for some bizarre reason
it wasn't doing it adjacent to the output function call.

Historically, printtup() has assumed that it could prevent memory leakage
by pfree'ing the string result of each output function and manually
managing detoasting of toasted values.  This amounts to assuming that
datatype output functions never leak any memory internally; an assumption
we've already decided to be bogus elsewhere, for example in COPY OUT.
range_out in particular is known to leak multiple kilobytes per call, as
noted in bug #8573 from Godfried Vanluffelen.  While we could go in and fix
that leak, it wouldn't be very notationally convenient, and in any case
there have been and undoubtedly will again be other leaks in other output
functions.  So what seems like the best solution is to run the output
functions in a temporary memory context that can be reset after each row,
as we're doing in COPY OUT.  Some quick experimentation suggests this is
actually a tad faster than the retail pfree's anyway.

This patch fixes all the variants of printtup, except for debugtup()
which is used in standalone mode.  It doesn't seem worth worrying
about query-lifespan leaks in standalone mode, and fixing that case
would be a bit tedious since debugtup() doesn't currently have any
startup or shutdown functions.

While at it, remove manual detoast management from several other
output-function call sites that had copied it from printtup().  This
doesn't make a lot of difference right now, but in view of recent
discussions about supporting "non-flattened" Datums, we're going to
want that code gone eventually anyway.

Back-patch to 9.2 where range_out was introduced.  We might eventually
decide to back-patch this further, but in the absence of known major
leaks in older output functions, I'll refrain for now.

Since the query has not been freshly parsed when executing REFRESH
MATERIALIZED VIEW, locks must be explicitly taken before rewrite.

A subquery reference to a matview should be allowed by CREATE

The original coding thought this case was impossible, but it can happen
if the bgwriter or checkpointer processes decide to write out an index
page while creation is still proceeding, leading to a bogus "unexpected
spgdoinsert() failure" error.  Problem reported by Jonathan S. Katz.

Callers expect that they only have to set the right resource owner when
creating a BufFile, not during subsequent operations on it.  While we could
insist this be fixed at the caller level, it seems more sensible for the
BufFile to take care of it.  Without this, some temp files belonging to
a BufFile can go away too soon, eg at the end of a subtransaction,
leading to errors or crashes.

Reported and fixed by Andres Freund.  Back-patch to all active branches.

These variables no longer have any useful purpose, since there's no reason
to special-case brute force timezones now that we have a valid
session_timezone setting for them.  Remove the variables, and remove the
SET/SHOW TIME ZONE code that deals with them.

The user-visible impact of this is that SHOW TIME ZONE will now show a
POSIX-style zone specification, in the form "<+-offset>-+offset", rather
than an interval value when a brute-force zone has been set.  While perhaps
less intuitive, this is a better definition than before because it's
actually possible to give that string back to SET TIME ZONE and get the
same behavior, unlike what used to happen.

We did not previously mention the angle-bracket syntax when describing
POSIX timezone specifications; add some documentation so that people
can figure out what these strings do.  (There's still quite a lot of
undocumented functionality there, but anybody who really cares can
go read the POSIX spec to find out about it.  In practice most people
seem to prefer Olsen-style city names anyway.)

The only remaining places where we actually look at CTimeZone/HasCTZSet
are abstime2tm() and timestamp2tm().  Now that session_timezone is always
valid, we can remove these special cases.  The caller-visible impact of
this is that these functions now always return a valid zone abbreviation
if requested, whereas before they'd return a NULL pointer if a brute-force
timezone was in use.  In the existing code, the only place I can find that
changes behavior is to_char(), whose TZ format code will now print
something useful rather than nothing for such zones.  (In the places where
the returned zone abbreviation is passed to EncodeDateTime, the lack of
visible change is because we've chosen the abbreviation used for these
zones to match what EncodeTimezone would have printed.)

It's likely that there is now a fair amount of removable dead code around
the call sites, namely anything that's meant to cope with getting a NULL
timezone abbreviation, but I've not made an effort to root that out.

This could be back-patched if we decide we'd like to fix to_char()'s
behavior in the back branches, but there doesn't seem to be much
enthusiasm for that at present.

Formerly, when using a SQL-spec timezone setting with a fixed GMT offset
(called a "brute force" timezone in the code), the session_timezone
variable was not updated to match the nominal timezone; rather, all code
was expected to ignore session_timezone if HasCTZSet was true.  This is
of course obviously fragile, though a search of the code finds only
timeofday() failing to honor the rule.  A bigger problem was that
DetermineTimeZoneOffset() supposed that if its pg_tz parameter was
pointer-equal to session_timezone, then HasCTZSet should override the
parameter.  This would cause datetime input containing an explicit zone
name to be treated as referencing the brute-force zone instead, if the
zone name happened to match the session timezone that had prevailed
before installing the brute-force zone setting (as reported in bug #8572).
The same malady could affect AT TIME ZONE operators.

To fix, set up session_timezone so that it matches the brute-force zone
specification, which we can do using the POSIX timezone definition syntax
"<abbrev>offset", and get rid of the bogus lookaside check in
DetermineTimeZoneOffset().  Aside from fixing the erroneous behavior in
datetime parsing and AT TIME ZONE, this will cause the timeofday() function
to print its result in the user-requested time zone rather than some
previously-set zone.  It might also affect results in third-party
extensions, if there are any that make use of session_timezone without
considering HasCTZSet, but in all cases the new behavior should be saner
than before.

Back-patch to all supported branches.
