== Angewandte Patches ==

Tom Lane pushed:

- Improve reporting of newlocale() failures in CREATE COLLATION. The
standardized errno code for "no such locale" failures is ENOENT,
which we were just reporting at face value, viz "No such file or
directory". Per gripe from Thom Brown, this might confuse users, so
add an errdetail message to clarify what it means. Also, report
newlocale() failures as ERRCODE_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE rather than
using errcode_for_file_access(), since newlocale()'s errno values
aren't necessarily tied directly to file access failures.

40850

- Suppress "unused function" warning when not HAVE_LOCALE_T. Forgot
to consider this case ...
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/2562dcea811eb642e1c5 442e1ede9fe2682=
78157

- Make EXPLAIN ANALYZE report the numbers of rows rejected by filter
steps. This provides information about the numbers of tuples that
were visited but not returned by table scans, as well as the numbers
of join tuples that were considered and discarded within a join plan
node. There is still some discussion going on about the best way to
report counts for outer-join situations, but I think most of what's
in the patch would not change if we revise that, so I'm going to go
ahead and commit it as-is. Documentation changes to follow (they
weren't in the submitted patch either). Marko Tiikkaja, reviewed by
Marc Cousin, somewhat revised by Tom Lane
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/f1972723654947f70409 716757aa83f3d93=
c8fab

- Update release notes for 9.1.1, 9.0.5, 8.4.9, 8.3.16, 8.2.22. Man,
we fixed a lotta bugs since April.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/7f70f35031b4dea40ab4 fa20638befc430e=
8ebaa

- Stamp 8.2.22, 8.3.16, 8.4.9, 9.0.5, 9.1.1.

- Update win32tzlist.pl for the new location of our Windows timezone
map. I wasn't aware of this script till Magnus Hagander mentioned
it just now ...
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/14a183261a1f9b15dc73 ad34295d118ada5=
38b5b

- Fix our mapping of Windows timezones for Central America. We were
mapping "Central America Standard Time" to "CST6CDT", which seems
entirely wrong, because according to the Olson timezone database
noplace in Central America observes daylight savings time on any
regular basis --- and certainly not according to the USA DST rules
that are implied by "CST6CDT". (Mexico is an exception, but they
can be disregarded since they have a separate timezone name in
Windows.) So, map this zone name to plain "CST6", which will
provide a fixed UTC offset. As written, this patch will also result
in mapping "Central America Daylight Time" to CST6. I considered
hacking things so that would still map to CST6CDT, but it seems it
would confuse win32tzlist.pl to put those two names in separate
entries. Since there's little evidence that any such zone name is
used in the wild, much less that CST6CDT would be a good match for
it, I'm not too worried about what we do with it. Per complaint
from Pratik Chirania.

- Recognize self-contradictory restriction clauses for non-table
relations. The constraint exclusion feature checks for
contradictions among scan restriction clauses, as well as
contradictions between those clauses and a table's CHECK
constraints. The first aspect of this testing can be useful for
non-table relations (such as subqueries or functions-in-FROM), but
the feature was coded with only the CHECK case in mind so we were
applying it only to plain-table RTEs. Move the
relation_excluded_by_constraints call so that it is applied to all
RTEs not just plain tables. With the default setting of
constraint_exclusion this results in no extra work, but with
constraint_exclusion =3D ON we will detect optimizations that we
missed before (at the cost of more planner cycles than we expended
before). Per a gripe from Gunnlaugur Þór Briem. Experimentat=
ion
with his example also showed we were not being very bright about the
case where constraint exclusion is proven within a subquery within
UNION ALL, so tweak the code to allow set_append_rel_pathlist to
recognize such cases.

- Un-break compression of plain-text output format in pg_dump.
pg_dump has historically understood -Z with no -F switch to mean
that it should emit a gzip-compressed version of its plain text
output. This got broken through a misunderstanding in the 9.1 patch
that added directory output format. Restore the former behavior.
Per complaint from Roger Niederland and diagnosis by Adrian Klaver.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/23fe7a74777eba018353 89263418cbe8a54=
6e772

- Avoid unnecessary snapshot-acquisitions in BuildCachedPlan. I had
copied-and-pasted a claim that we couldn't reach this point when
dealing with utility statements, but that was a leftover from when
the caller was required to supply a plan to start with. We now will
go through here at least once when handling a utility statement, so
it seems worth a check to see whether a snapshot is actually needed.
(Note that analyze_requires_snapshot is quite a cheap test.) Per
suggestion from Yamamoto Takashi. I don't think I believe that this
resolves his reported assertion failure; but it's worth changing
anyway, just to save a cycle or two.

a472c

- Fully const-ify PQconnectdbParams, PQconnectStartParams, and
PQpingParams. The keywords and values arguments of these functions
are more properly declared "const char * const *" than just "const
char **". Lionel Elie Mamane, reviewed by Craig Ringer

Robert Haas pushed:

- Fix another bit of unlogged-table-induced breakage. Per bug #6205,
reported by Abel Abraham Camarillo Ojeda. This isn't a particularly
elegant fix, but I'm trying to minimize the chances of causing yet
another round of breakage. Adjust regression tests to exercise this
case.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/4893552e21b93149bb60 f6204673cce8558=
81a05

- Add --{no-,}replication flags to createuser. Fujii Masao, reviewed
by Cédric Villemain, with some doc changes by me.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/b056b716e28562f5c53d fb143725294d44f=

- Add missing brackets to chkselinuxenv.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/e50b052a3bc5611dbf1a 521ac7bc3611695=
a5f22

- Document some more apparently-harmless error messages.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/a5e94ea52b002a049ffa 52849f2958c096c=
c0f92

- Teach sepgsql about database labels. This is still a bit of a hack,
but it's better than the old way, for sure. KaiGai Kohei, with one
change by me to make it compile
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/291873c1554ceecc71a8 1c25aef4f1260c1=
5c222

- Memory barrier support for PostgreSQL. This is not actually used
anywhere yet, but it gets the basic infrastructure in place. It is
fairly likely that there are bugs, and support for some important
platforms may be missing, so we'll need to refine this as we go
along.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/0c8eda6258805223fa41 2ab55a1f130fbc5=

Peter Eisentraut pushed:

- Translation updates
=20

Simon Riggs pushed:

- synchronous_commit is an enum not a boolean. Jaime Casanova
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/e5e2f7b0546c0409323a f262bdd17a8e19c=
a3836

Magnus Hagander pushed:

- Note that sslmode=3Drequire verifies the CA if root cert is present
This mode still exists for backwards compatibility, making
sslmode=3Drequire the same as sslmode=3Dverify-ca when the file is
present, but not causing an error when it isn't. Per bug 6189,
reported by Srinivas Aji
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/33e81fdfaf6a8d92451c d780e5619ac5be0=
b44c9

- Fix typo
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/0126db2a469c7dbe5403 54f4ac6691a6c1e=
3b94e

Bruce Momjian pushed:

- Expand pgrminclude to exclude use of macros CppAsString and
CppConcat.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/337c0b03614c45516f2c 3ec956405713bb2=
64d54

- Document pgrminclude limitations.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/84bbe57dc128df224614 c61f88c350ee9ed=
92123

- In pgrminclude, document requirement to use pgcompinclude, and sort
files so include removal is more predictable.
