had been taught not to do that ages ago, the SSL code was helpfully bleating
anyway.  Resolves some recent reports such as bug #3266; however the
underlying cause of the related bug #2829 is still unclear.

and inet_server_addr() fail if the client connected over a "scoped" IPv6
address.  In this case getnameinfo() will return a string ending with
a poorly-standardized "%something" zone specifier, which these functions
try to feed to network_in(), which won't take it.  So that we don't lose
functionality altogether, suppress the zone specifier before giving the
string to network_in().  Per report from Brian Hirt.

TODO: probably someday the inet type should support scoped IPv6 addresses,
and then this patch should be reverted.

Backpatch to 8.2 ... is it worth going further?

        Moved page-level functions from pgstattuple to
contrib/pageinspect.

recompute the limit/offset immediately, so that the updated values are
available when the child's ReScan function is invoked.  Add a regression
test for this, too.  Bug is new in HEAD (due to the bounded-sorting patch)
so no need for back-patch.

I did not do anything about merging this signaling with chgParam processing,
but if we were to do that we'd still need to compute the updated values
at this point rather than during the first ProcNode call.

Per observation and test case from Greg Stark, though I didn't use his patch.

to avoid losing useful Xid information in not-so-old tuples.  This makes
CLUSTER behave the same as VACUUM as far a tuple-freezing behavior goes
(though CLUSTER does not yet advance the table's relfrozenxid).

While at it, move the actual freezing operation in rewriteheap.c to a more
appropriate place, and document it thoroughly.  This part of the patch from
Tom Lane.

avoid a later needless VACUUM for Xid-wraparound purposes.  We can do this
since the table is known to be left empty, so no Xid remains on it.

Per discussion.

applied to live tuples older than a recent Xmin, not to tuples that may be part
of an update chain.  Those still keep their original markings.

This patch makes it possible for CLUSTER to advance relfrozenxid, thus avoiding
the need of vacuuming the table for Xid wraparound purposes.  That will be
patched separately.

Patch from Heikki Linnakangas.

that we don't track the grantor as a shared dependency.

Workaround for when it is: include the ossp directory using --with-includes.

Add a paragraph to the "User-Defined Types" chapter on using these

there's an indirect dependency on the owner via the parent table.  We were
already handling indexes that way, but not toast tables for some reason.
Saves a little catalog space and cuts down the verbosity of checkSharedDependencies
reports.

patch; also make the code logic a bit more self-consistent.

ActiveSnapshot.  Having it affect ActiveSnapshot only in the unusual
case of needing to replan seems a bad idea, and there's also the problem
that the created snap might be in a relatively short-lived context, as
noted by Jan Wieck.  Also, there's no need to force a new snap at all
unless we are called with no snap currently set, which is an unusual
case in itself.

and only a truncated log of the objects in the current database to the client.
Also, instead of reporting object counts for all databases on which the user
might own objects, report only as many as fit in the predefined line count.

This is to avoid flooding the client when the user owns too many objects,
which could cause problems.

Per report from Ed L. on April 4th and subsequent discussion.

more completely.  The motivation for having it understand IS NULL at all was
to allow use of "foo IS NULL" as one of the subsets of a partitioning on
"foo", but as reported by Aleksander Kmetec, it wasn't really getting the job
done.  Backpatch to 8.2 since this is arguably a performance bug.

named foo, would work but the other ordering would not.  If a user-specified
type or table name collides with an existing auto-generated array name, just
rename the array type out of the way by prepending more underscores.  This
should not create any backward-compatibility issues, since the cases in which
this will happen would have failed outright in prior releases.

Also fix an oversight in the arrays-of-composites patch: ALTER TABLE RENAME
renamed the table's rowtype but not its array type.

needs to check the new constraint against columns of derived domains too.

Also, make it error out if the domain to be modified is used within any
composite-type columns.  Eventually we should support that case, but it seems
a bit painful, and not suitable for a back-patch.  For the moment just let the
user know we can't do it.

Backpatch to 8.2, which is the only released version that allows nested
domains.  Possibly the other part should be back-patched further.

and views (but not system catalogs, nor sequences or toast tables).  Get rid
of the hardwired convention that a type's array type is named exactly "_type",
instead using a new column pg_type.typarray to provide the linkage.  (It still
will be named "_type", though, except in odd corner cases such as
maximum-length type names.)

Along the way, make tracking of owner and schema dependencies for types more
uniform: a type directly created by the user has these dependencies, while a
table rowtype or auto-generated array type does not have them, but depends on
its parent object instead.
