http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/595a441ae999fb155a381fa4bcceadf40=

- Merge synchronous_replication setting into synchronous_commit.  This
   means one less thing to configure when setting up synchronous
   replication, and also avoids some ambiguity around what the behavior
   should be when the settings of these variables conflict.  Fujii
   Masao, with additional hacking by me.

=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/ad275473a5ea75f4aa010791884004f75=
f3c7a65

- Repair some flakiness in CheckTargetForConflictsIn.  When we release
   and reacquire SerializableXactHashLock, we must recheck whether an
   R/W conflict still needs to be flagged, because it could have
   changed under us in the meantime.  And when we release the partition
   lock, we must re-walk the list of predicate locks from the
   beginning, because our pointer could get invalidated under us.  Bug
   report #5952 by Yamamoto Takashi.  Patch by Kevin Grittner.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/632f0faa7c975e8984ce0f1d6b631478e=

2e54213

- Partially roll back overenthusiastic SSI optimization.  When a
   regular lock is held, Steve Singer can use that in lieu of a
   predicate lock to detect rw conflicts; but if the regular lock is
   being taken by a subtransaction, we can't assume that it'll commit,
   so releasing the parent transaction's lock in that case is a no-no.

- Fix bug in propagating ALTER TABLE actions to typed tables.  We need
   to propagate such actions to all typed table children of a given
   type, not just the first one.  Noah Misch
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/0bd155cbf2543cdead70b6e6390e92600=
35e1468

- Make psql use pg_table_size instead of pg_relation_size on 9.0+
   servers.  Per discussion, pg_table_size() is a more helpful number
   than pg_relation_size().  Bernd Helmle, reviewed by Susanne Ebrecht
   and me.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/cba9cd419270a9b7f442877e21685ac0d=
e5730b3

- Truncate the predicate lock SLRU to empty, instead of almost empty.
   Otherwise, the SLRU machinery can get confused and think that the
   SLRU has wrapped around.  Along the way, regardless of whether we're
   truncating all of the SLRU or just some of it, flush pages after
   truncating, rather than before.  Kevin Grittner

=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/479ee1b962ca2d479310af762c21d7c20=

- Avoid assuming there will be only 3 states for synchronous_commit.
   Also avoid hardcoding the current default state by giving it the
   name "on" and replace with a meaningful name that reflects its
   behaviour.  Coding only, no change in behaviour.

   traceback information the Python interpreter prints with exceptions.
   Jan Urba=C3=85=C2=84ski

=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/c75163842cf93fd7b6311df2c5545bf09=

=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/5d0e462366f4521e37744fdb42fed3c68=
19a3374

- Allow pg_upgrade with PGCLIENTENCODING set.  This used to work, but
   since PGCLIENTENCODING is now a connection option variable,
   pg_upgrade would prevent it.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/1eb2231fc46bbfa85b47c19d88f72162b=
323aa51

- Add collation support on Windows (MSVC build).  There is not yet
   support in initdb to populate the pg_collation catalog, but if that
   is done manually, the rest should work.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/11745364d074f3a7ee54c98fad55cfb5c=

Tom Lane pushed:

- Revise the API for GUC variable assign hooks.  The previous
   functions of assign hooks are now split between check hooks and
   assign hooks, where the former can fail but the latter shouldn't.
   Aside from being conceptually clearer, this approach exposes the
   "canonicalized" form of the variable value to guc.c without having
   to do an actual assignment.  And that lets us fix the problem
   recently noted by Bernd Helmle that the auto-tune patch for
   wal_buffers resulted in bogus log messages about "parameter
   "wal_buffers" cannot be changed without restarting the server".
   There may be some speed advantage too, because this design lets hook
   functions avoid re-parsing variable values when restoring a previous
   state after a rollback (they can store a pre-parsed representation
   of the value instead).  This patch also resolves a longstanding
   annoyance about custom error messages from variable assign hooks:
   they should modify, not appear separately from, guc.c's own message
   about "invalid parameter value".
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/2594cf0e8c04406ffff19b1651c5a406d=
376657c

- Fix collations when we call transformWhereClause from outside the
   parser.  Previous patches took care of assorted places that call
   transformExpr from outside the main parser, but I overlooked the
   fact that some places use transformWhereClause as a shortcut for
   transformExpr + coerce_to_boolean.  In particular this broke
   collation-sensitive index WHERE clauses, as per report from Thom
   Brown.  Trigger WHEN and rule WHERE clauses too.  I'm not forcing
   initdb for this fix, but any affected indexes, triggers, or rules
   will need to be dropped and recreated.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/d8d429890d6aa0246e28faa187a55cb0c=
65efd6e

- Fix SortTocFromFile() to cope with lines that are too long for its
   buffer.  The original coding supposed that a dump TOC file could
   never contain lines longer than 1K.  The folly of that was exposed
   by a recent report from Per-Olov Esgard.  We only really need to see
   the first dozen or two bytes of each line, since we're just trying
   to read off the numeric ID at the start of the line; so there's no
   need for a particularly huge buffer.  What there is a need for is
   logic to not process continuation bufferloads.  Back-patch to all
   supported branches, since it's always been like this.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/1471a147f09f737511945ac59ca316246=
9d1a0c0

- Fix plpgsql's issues with dropped columns in rowtypes in 8.4 branch.
   This is a back-patch of commit dcb2bda9b7042dbf43f876c94ebf35d951de10e=
9
   of Aug 6 2009, which fixed assorted cases in which plpgsql would
   fail to cope with composite types that contain any dropped columns.
   Per discussion, this fix has been out in 9.0 for long enough to make
   it improbable that it creates any new bugs, so this is a low-risk
   fix.  To make it even lower risk, I did not back-patch the changes
   in execQual.c, but just accepted the duplication of code between
   there and tupconvert.c.  The added files tupconvert.h and
   tupconvert.c match their current states in HEAD.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/5d3853a7fa40b28b44b14084863fd83a1=
88c9a9e

- Modernize dlopen interface code for FreeBSD and OpenBSD.  Remove the
   hard-wired assumption that __mips__ (and only __mips__) lacks dlopen
   in FreeBSD and OpenBSD.  This assumption is outdated at least for
   OpenBSD, as per report from an anonymous 9.1 tester.  We can
   perfectly well use HAVE_DLOPEN instead to decide which code to use.
   Some other cosmetic adjustments to make freebsd.c, netbsd.c, and
   openbsd.c exactly alike.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/73d9a908140e709b4cb12a8d2257a11ba=
aec974f

- Tweaks for SSI out-of-shared memory behavior.  If we call
   hash_search() with HASH_ENTER, it will bail out rather than return
   NULL, so it's redundant to check for NULL again in the caller.
   Thus, in cases where we believe it's impossible for the hash table
   to run out of slots anyway, we can simplify the code slightly.  On
   the flip side, in cases where it's theoretically possible to run out
   of space, we don't want to rely on dynahash.c to throw an error;
   instead, we pass HASH_ENTER_NULL and throw the error ourselves if a
   NULL comes back, so that we can provide a more descriptive error
   message.  Kevin Grittner
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/56c7140ca813ba4c7ecb122a1d2b1268e=
705d092

- Add an example of WITH (UPDATE RETURNING) INSERT to the INSERT ref
   page.  Per a discussion with Gavin Flower.  This barely scratches
   the surface of potential WITH (something RETURNING) use cases, of
   course, but it's one of the simplest compelling examples I can think
   of.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/8ad58279fa75636b776e4c648e1ffc707=
9a2c7d9

- Avoid extra whitespace in the arguments of <indexterm>.  As noted by
   Thom Brown, this confuses the DocBook index processor; it fails to
   merge entries that differ only in whitespace, and sorts them
   unexpectedly as well.  Seems like a toolchain bug, but I'm not going
   to hold my breath waiting for a fix.  Note: easiest way to find
   these is to look for double spaces in HTML.index.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/dca30da3433c40b5f92f1704c496cda05=
2decef9

- Modify initdb to complain only when no usable system locales are
   found.  Per discussion, the original behavior seems too noisy.  But
   if things are so broken that none of the locales reported by
   "locale -a" are usable, that's probably worth warning about.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/d4c810d570e71b021c93e3ee3ea4ab18a=
f4a053d

- Avoid an unnecessary syscache lookup in parse_coerce.c.  All the
   other fields of the constant are being extracted from the syscache
   entry we already have, so handle collation similarly.  (There don't
   seem to be any other uses for the new function at the moment.)
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/c5ff3ff49229e8fb7da0e46b463bfc9b1=
2219078

- Tweak collation setup for GIN index comparison functions.  Honor
   index column's collation spec if there is one, don't go to the
   expense of calling get_typcollation when we can reasonably assume
   that all GIN storage types will use default collation, and be sure
   to set a collation for the comparePartialFn too.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/1766a5b63a950a667ed39c25256156bf3=
66eb43c

- Fix make_greater_string to not have an undocumented collation
   assumption.  The previous coding worked only if ltproc->fn_collation
   was always either DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID or a C-compatible locale.
   While that's true at the moment, it wasn't documented (and in fact
   wasn't true when this code was committed...).  But it only takes a
   couple more lines to make its internal caching behavior
   locale-aware, so let's do that.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/466dac8656c11317b91c1a4bfd5cfca45=
08cba94

- Clean up minor collation issues in indxpath.c.  Get rid of bogus
   collation test in match_special_index_operator (even for ILIKE, the
   pattern match operator's collation doesn't matter here, and even if
   it did the test was testing the wrong thing).  Fix broken looping
   logic in expand_indexqual_rowcompare.  Add collation check in
   match_clause_to_ordering_op.  Make naming and argument ordering more
   consistent; improve comments.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/69f1d5fe1456229aeea3096c372eb24ce=
dc7d597

- Don't show unusable collations in psql's \dO command.  "Unusable"
   collations are those not matching the current database's encoding.
   The former behavior inconsistently showed such collations some of
   the time, depending on the details of the pattern argument.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/7c76906b7e24d9ea94a2b0e33396ebcac=
600437d

- Adjust collation determination rules as per discussion.  Remove
   crude hack that tried to propagate collation through a
   function-returning-record, ie, from the function's arguments to
   individual fields selected from its result record.  That is just
   plain inconsistent, because the function result is composite and
   cannot have a collation; and there's no hope of making this kind of
   action-at-a-distance work consistently.  Adjust regression test
   cases that expected this to happen.  Meanwhile, the behavior of
   casting to a domain with a declared collation stays the same as it
   was, since that seemed to be the consensus.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/a19002d4e5da028ff7280554b281e402c=
609898b

- Remove collate.linux.utf8.sql's assumptions about ".utf8" in locale
   names.  Tweak the test so that it does not depend on the platform
   using ".utf8" as the extension signifying that a locale uses UTF8
   encoding.  For the most part this just requires using the
   abbreviated collation names "en_US" etc, though I had to work a bit
   harder on the collation creation tests.  This opens the door to
   using the test on platforms that spell locales differently, for
   example ".utf-8" or ".UTF-8".  Also, the test is now somewhat useful
   with server encodings other than UTF8; though depending on which
   encoding is selected, different subsets of it will fail for lack of
   character set support.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/f89e4dfa755b9c9be9c19f7c65cff50d4=
7b4f33a

- Fix ILIKE to honor collation when working in single-byte encodings.
   The original collation patch only fixed the multi-byte code path.
   This change also ensures that ILIKE's idea of the case-folding rules
   is exactly the same as str_tolower's.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/00f11f419caa873b44d70071d4ade0b8c=
75e7f36

- Clean up overly complex code for issuing some related error
   messages.  The original version was unreadable, and not mechanically
   checkable either.
=20
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/9a8b73147c07e02e10e0d0a34aa99d72e=
3336fb2

- Teach regular expression operators to honor collations.  This
   involves getting the character classification and case-folding
   functions in the regex library to use the collations infrastructure.
   Most of this work had been done already in connection with the
   upper/lower and LIKE logic, so it was a simple matter of
   transposition.  While at it, split out these functions into a
   separate source file regc_pg_locale.c, so that they can be correctly
   labeled with the Postgres project's license rather than the
   Scriptics license.  These functions are 100% Postgres-written code
   whereas what remains in regc_locale.c is still mostly not ours, so
   lumping them both under the same copyright notice was getting more
   and more misleading.
=20

   some compilers dislike a case label with nothing after it.  Per

- Preserve pg_largeobject_metadata.relfrozenxid in pg_upgrade.  This
   is needed only in 9.1 because only 9.0 had this and no one is
