      Throw a useful error message if an extension script file is fed to psql. · 458857cc
      Tom Lane authored
      We have seen one too many reports of people trying to use 9.1 extension
      files in the old-fashioned way of sourcing them in psql.  Not only does
      that usually not work (due to failure to substitute for MODULE_PATHNAME
      and/or @extschema@), but if it did work they'd get a collection of loose
      objects not an extension.  To prevent this, insert an \echo ... \quit
      line that prints a suitable error message into each extension script file,
      and teach commands/extension.c to ignore lines starting with \echo.
      That should not only prevent any adverse consequences of loading a script
      file the wrong way, but make it crystal clear to users that they need to
      do it differently now.
      
      Tom Lane, following an idea of Andrew Dunstan's.  Back-patch into 9.1
      ... there is not going to be much value in this if we wait till 9.2.

      Avoid use of CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION in extension installation files. · 029fac22
      Tom Lane authored
      It was never terribly consistent to use OR REPLACE (because of the lack of
      comparable functionality for data types, operators, etc), and
      experimentation shows that it's now positively pernicious in the extension
      world.  We really want a failure to occur if there are any conflicts, else
      it's unclear what the extension-ownership state of the conflicted object
      ought to be.  Most of the time, CREATE EXTENSION will fail anyway because
      of conflicts on other object types, but an extension defining only
      functions can succeed, with bad results.

      Convert contrib modules to use the extension facility. · 629b3af2
      Tom Lane authored
      This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the
      "foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK.  But it's time to get some
      buildfarm cycles on it.
      
      sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to
      require a very nonstandard installation process.

      Basic foreign table support. · 0d692a0d
      Robert Haas authored
      Foreign tables are a core component of SQL/MED.  This commit does
      not provide a working SQL/MED infrastructure, because foreign tables
      cannot yet be queried.  Support for foreign table scans will need to
      be added in a future patch.  However, this patch creates the necessary
      system catalog structure, syntax support, and support for ancillary
      operations such as COMMENT and SECURITY LABEL.

      Fix contrib/pageinspect to not create an ABI breakage between 8.3 and 8.4. · a1fd650d
      Tom Lane authored
      The original implementation of the 3-argument form of get_raw_page() risked
      core dumps if the 8.3 SQL function definition was mistakenly used with the
      8.4 module, which is entirely likely after a dump-and-reload upgrade.  To
      protect 8.4 beta testers against upgrade problems, add a check on PG_NARGS.
      
      In passing, fix missed additions to the uninstall script, and polish the
      docs a trifle.

      Unite ReadBufferWithFork, ReadBufferWithStrategy, and ZeroOrReadBuffer · 19c8dc83
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      functions into one ReadBufferExtended function, that takes the strategy
      and mode as argument. There's three modes, RBM_NORMAL which is the default
      used by plain ReadBuffer(), RBM_ZERO, which replaces ZeroOrReadBuffer, and
      a new mode RBM_ZERO_ON_ERROR, which allows callers to read corrupt pages
      without throwing an error. The FSM needs the new mode to recover from
      corrupt pages, which could happend if we crash after extending an FSM file,
      and the new page is "torn".
      
      Add fork number to some error messages in bufmgr.c, that still lacked it.

      Rewrite the FSM. Instead of relying on a fixed-size shared memory segment, the · 15c121b3
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      free space information is stored in a dedicated FSM relation fork, with each
      relation (except for hash indexes; they don't use FSM).
      
      This eliminates the max_fsm_relations and max_fsm_pages GUC options; remove any
      trace of them from the backend, initdb, and documentation.
      
      Rewrite contrib/pg_freespacemap to match the new FSM implementation. Also
      introduce a new variant of the get_raw_page(regclass, int4, int4) function in
      contrib/pageinspect that let's you to return pages from any relation fork, and
      a new fsm_page_contents() function to inspect the new FSM pages.

      Restructure some header files a bit, in particular heapam.h, by removing some · f8c4d7db
      Alvaro Herrera authored
      unnecessary #include lines in it.  Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and
      macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c
      files.
      
      For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created,
      initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage.
      
      While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more
      consistent with our header style.

      Simplify and standardize conversions between TEXT datums and ordinary C · 220db7cc
      Tom Lane authored
      strings.  This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text,
      cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and
      two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString.  A number of
      existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed.
      
      Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one
      function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used
      to be needed.  There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin,
      and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via
      memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though).
      
      This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory
      leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach
      text_to_cstring.  We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few
      places where it was easy, but much more could be done.

      Redefine the lp_flags field of item pointers as having four states, rather · 68893035
      Tom Lane authored
      than two independent bits (one of which was never used in heap pages anyway,
      or at least hadn't been in a very long time).  This gives us flexibility to
      add the HOT notions of redirected and dead item pointers without requiring
      anything so klugy as magic values of lp_off and lp_len.  The state values
      are chosen so that for the states currently in use (pre-HOT) there is no
      change in the physical representation.
