This was broken in 9.0 by careless addition of an early-exit path.

hasn't been set.

The only known case where this can happen is when show_session_authorization
is invoked in an autovacuum process, which is possible if an index function
calls it, as for example in bug #5669 from Andrew Geery.  We could perhaps
try to return a sensible value, such as the name of the cluster-owning
superuser; but that seems like much more trouble than the case is worth,
and in any case it could create new possible failure modes.  Simply
returning an empty string seems like the most appropriate fix.

Back-patch to all supported versions, even those before autovacuum, just
in case there's another way to provoke this crash.

In some situations the original coding led to corrupting the child AppendRel's
subpaths list, effectively adding other members of the parent's list to it.
This was usually masked because we never made any further use of the child's
list, but given the right combination of circumstances, we could do so.  The
visible symptom would be a relation getting scanned twice, as in bug #5673
from David Schmitt.

Backpatch to 8.2, which is as far back as the risky coding appears.  The
example submitted by David only fails in 8.4 and later, but I'm not convinced
that there aren't any even-more-obscure cases where 8.2 and 8.3 would fail.

We can't actually print the parent RelOptInfo in toto, because that would
lead to infinite recursion.  But it's safe enough to reach into the parent
and print its identifying relids, and that makes it a whole lot easier
to figure out what a Path represents.  Should have done this years ago.

servers. AFAICT it's harmless at the moment because nothing can depend on
either, but as soon as we introduce an object type with such dependencies,
tableoid needs to be set or pg_dump will fail to interpret the dependencies
correctly. In theory, I guess the uninitialized garbage in tableoid could
cause the object to be mistaken for some other object with same OID as well.

This was unintentionally broken in 8.4 while tightening up checking of
ordinary non-Julian date inputs to forbid references to "year zero".
Per bug #5672 from Benjamin Gigot.

The previous patches failed to cover a lot of symlinks that are only
added in platform-specific cases.  Make the lists match what's in the
Makefile for each branch.

These are just cosmetic and don't seem worth back-patching far.
I put them into 9.0 just because it was trivial to do so.

Also do some further work in the back branches, where quite a bit wasn't
covered by Magnus' original back-patch.

Backpatch to 8.2 as that's how far the structure looks the same.

for git. Change other references from cvs to git as well.

See git_topo_order instead.

Poking around for remaining occurrences of CVS keyword strings, I came
across one that apparently reflects the use of a $Revision: ...$ string
in the original input data.  Dunno why anybody would be using that in
an MTA's Received: lines, but there it is.  Put it back to the way that
it was originally, according to inspection of the CVS repo.

Not sure why these symlinks are removed here and not in the port/
Makefile, but I won't second-guess that choice right now.

This script is intended to substitute for cvs2cl in generating release
notes and scrutinizing what got back-patched to which branches.

with Magnus's script to remove these.

The previous coding just terminated the COPY immediately after seeing
the EOF marker (-1 where a row field count is expected).  The expected
CopyDone or CopyFail message just got thrown away later, since we weren't
in COPY mode anymore.  This behavior complicated matters for the JDBC
driver, and arguably was the wrong thing in any case since a CopyFail
message after the marker wouldn't be honored.

Note that there is a behavioral change here: extra data after the EOF
marker was silently ignored before, but now it will cause an error.
Hence not back-patching, although this is arguably a bug.

the same number of columns expected by the insert.  This suggests that there
were extra parentheses that converted the intended column list into a row
expression.

Original patch by Marko Tiikkaja, rather heavily editorialized by me.

These checks are also present in objectaddress.c, so there's no need to
recheck here.
