We already had a psql variable VERSION that shows the verbose form of
psql's own version. Add VERSION_NAME to show the short form (e.g.,
"11devel") and VERSION_NUM to show the numeric form (e.g., 110000).
Also add SERVER_VERSION_NAME and SERVER_VERSION_NUM to show the short and
numeric forms of the server's version. (We'd probably add SERVER_VERSION
with the verbose string if it were readily available; but adding another
network round trip to get it seems too expensive.)
The numeric forms, in particular, are expected to be useful for scripting
purposes, now that psql can do conditional tests.

Evidently somebody neglected to update this sometime in the v10 cycle.
Patching REL_10_STABLE only; this value is about to be obsolete in
HEAD anyway. Noted while examining \gdesc patch.
The string "% of total" was marked by xgettext to be a c-format, but it
is actually not, so mark up the source to prevent that.
Compute the column widths of the final display dynamically based on the
translated strings, so that translations don't mess up the display
accidentally.
Remove code meant for upgrading to a particular version of PostgreSQL
9.0. Since pg_upgrade only supports upgrading to the current major
version, this code is no longer useful.
Commit 3eb9a5e7c unintentionally introduced an ordering dependency
into restore_toc_entries_prefork(). The existing coding of
reduce_dependencies() contains a check to skip moving a TOC entry
to the ready_list if it wasn't initially in the pending_list.
This used to suffice to prevent reduce_dependencies() from trying to
move anything into the ready_list during restore_toc_entries_prefork(),
because the pending_list stayed empty throughout that phase; but it no
longer does. The problem doesn't manifest unless the TOC has been
reordered by SortTocFromFile, which is how I missed it in testing.
To fix, just add a test for ready_list == NULL, converting the call
with NULL from a poor man's sanity check into an explicit command
not to touch TOC items' list membership. Clarify some of the comments
around this; in particular, note the primary purpose of the check for
pending_list membership, which is to ensure that we can't try to restore
the same item twice, in case a TOC list forces it to be restored before
its dependency count goes to zero.
Per report from Fabrízio de Royes Mello. Back-patch to 9.3, like the
previous commit.

This became possible by commit
6c2003f8a1bbc7c192a2e83ec51581c018aa162f. This just makes pg_dump aware

Previously the -M switch had to appear before any switch that directly
or indirectly specified a benchmarking script. This was both confusing
and inadequately documented, as per gripe from Tatsuo Ishii. We can
remove the restriction at the cost of making an extra pass over the
lists of SQL commands, which seems like a cheap price (the string scans
themselves likely cost much more). The change is just to not extract
parameters from the SQL commands until we have finished parsing the
switches and know the final value of -M.
Per discussion, we'll treat this as a low-grade bug fix and sneak it
into v10, rather than holding it for v11.

Because we push all ACL (i.e. GRANT/REVOKE) restore steps to the end,
materialized view refreshes were occurring while the permissions on
referenced objects were still at defaults. This led to failures if,
say, an MV owned by user A reads from a table owned by user B, even
if B had granted the necessary privileges to A. We've had multiple
complaints about that type of restore failure, most recently from
Jordan Gigov.
The ideal fix for this would be to start treating ACLs as dependency-
sortable objects, rather than hard-wiring anything about their dump order
(the existing approach is a messy kluge dating to commit dc0e76ca3).
But that's going to be a rather major change, and it certainly wouldn't
lead to a back-patchable fix. As a short-term solution, convert the
existing two-pass hack (ie, normal objects then ACLs) to a three-pass hack,
ie, normal objects then ACLs then matview refreshes. Because this happens
in RestoreArchive(), it will also fix the problem when restoring from an
existing archive-format dump.
(Note this means that if a matview refresh would have failed under the
permissions prevailing at dump time, it'll fail during restore as well.
We'll define that as user error rather than something we should try
to work around.)
To avoid performance loss in parallel restore, we need the matview
refreshes to still be parallelizable. Hence, clean things up enough
so that both ACLs and matviews are handled by the parallel restore
infrastructure, instead of reverting back to serial restore for ACLs.
There is still a final serial step, but it shouldn't normally have to
do anything; it's only there to try to recover if we get stuck due to
some problem like unresolved circular dependencies.
Patch by me, but it owes something to an earlier attempt by Kevin Grittner.
Back-patch to 9.3 where materialized views were introduced.

Commit 4d57e8381677 added support for getting I/O errors out of zlib,
but it introduced a portability problem for systems without zlib.
Repair by wrapping the zlib call inside #ifdef and restore the original
code in the other branch.
This serves to illustrate the inadequacy of the zlib abstraction in
pg_backup_archiver: there is no way to call gzerror() in that
abstraction. This means that the several places that call GZREAD and
GZWRITE are currently doing error reporting wrongly, but ENOTIME to get
it fixed before next week's release set.
Backpatch to 9.4, like the commit that introduced the problem.
Some error reports were reporting strerror(errno), which for some error
conditions coming from zlib are wrong, resulting in confusing reports
such as
pg_restore: [compress_io] could not read from input file: Success
which makes no sense. To correctly extract the error message we need to
use gzerror(), so let's do that.
This isn't as comprehensive or as neat as I would like, but at least it
should improve things in many common cases. The zlib abstraction in
compress_io does not seem to be applied consistently enough; we could
perhaps improve that, but it seems master-only material, not a bug fix
for back-patching.
This problem goes back all the way, but I decided to apply back to 9.4
only, because older branches don't contain commit 14ea89366 which this
change depends on.

The comment for dumpACL() got neglected when initacls and initracls were
added and the discussion of what 'racls' is wasn't very clear either.
Per complaint from Tom.
Most functions in this file are content to print an empty table if there
are no matching objects. In some, the behavior is to loop over all
matching objects and print a table for each one; therefore, without any
extra logic, nothing at all would be printed if no objects match.
We accept that outcome in QUIET mode, but in normal mode it seems better
to print a helpful message. The new \dRp+ command had not gotten that
memo; fix it.
listDbRoleSettings() is out of step on this, but I think it's better for
it to print a custom message rather than an empty table, because of the
possibility that the user is confused about what the pattern arguments mean
or which is which. The original message wording was entirely useless for
clarifying that, though, not to mention being unlike the wordings used
elsewhere. Improve the text, and also print the messages with psql_error
as is the general custom here.
listTables() is also out in left field, but since it's such a heavily
used function, I'm hesitant to change its behavior so much as to print
an empty table rather than a custom message. People are probably used
to getting a message. But we can make the wording more standardized and
helpful, and print it with psql_error rather than printing to stdout.
In both listDbRoleSettings and listTables, we play dumb and emit an
empty table, not a custom message, in QUIET mode. That was true before
and I see no need to change it.
Several of the places printing such messages risked dumping core if
no pattern string had been provided; make them more wary. (This case
is presently unreachable in describeTableDetails; but it shouldn't be
assuming that command.c will never pass it a null. The text search
functions would only reach the case if a database contained no text
search objects, which is also currently impossible since we pin the
built-in objects, but again it seems unwise to assume that here.)

listDbRoleSettings() handled its server version check randomly differently
from every other comparable function in describe.c, not only as to code
layout but also message wording. It also leaked memory, because its
PQExpBuffer management was also unlike everyplace else (and wrong).
Also fix an error-case leak in add_tablespace_footer().
In passing, standardize the format of function header comments in
describe.c --- we usually put "/*" alone on a line.

\drds leaked its second pattern argument if any, and \connect leaked
any empty-string or "-" arguments. These are old bugs, but it's hard
to imagine any real use-case where the leaks could amount to anything
meaningful, so not bothering with a back-patch.

When output of IPC::Run::run () is redirected to scalar references, in
certain circumstances the Msys perl does not correctly detect that the
end of file has been seen, making the test hang indefinitely. One such
circumstance is when the command is 'pg_ctl start', and such a change
was made in commit f13ea95f9e. The workaround, which only applies on
MSys, is to redirect the output to temporary files and then read them in
when the process has finished.
Patch by me, reviewed and tweaked by Tom Lane.
Fix assorted places that had not bothered with the convention of
prefixing catalog and function names with "pg_catalog.". That
could possibly result in query failure when running with a nondefault
search_path. Also fix two places that weren't quoting OID literals.
I think the latter hasn't mattered much since about 7.3, but it's still
a bad idea to be doing it in 99 places and not in 2 others.
Also remove a useless EXISTS sub-select that someone had stuck into
describeOneTableDetails' queries for child tables. We just got the OID
out of pg_class, so I hardly see how checking that it exists in pg_class
was doing anything helpful.
In passing, try to improve the emitted formatting of a couple of
these queries, though I didn't work really hard on that. And merge
unnecessarily duplicative coding in some other places.
Much of this was new in HEAD, but some was quite old; back-patch
as appropriate.
pg_dump with the --clean option failed to emit DROP EVENT TRIGGER
commands for event triggers. In a closely related oversight,
it also did not emit ALTER OWNER commands for event triggers.
Since only superusers can create event triggers, the latter oversight
is of little practical consequence ... but if we're going to record
an owner for event triggers, then surely pg_dump should preserve it.
Per complaint from Greg Atkins. Back-patch to 9.3 where event triggers
were introduced.

When incrementally updating a file larger than 2GB, the old code could
either fail outright (if the client asked the server for bytes beyond
the 2GB boundary) or fail to copy all the blocks that had actually
been modified (if the server reported a file size to the client in
excess of 2GB), resulting in data corruption. Generally, such files
won't occur anyway, but they might if using a non-default segment size
or if there the directory contains stray files unrelated to
PostgreSQL. Fix by a more prudent choice of data types.
Even with these improvements, this code still uses a mix of different
types (off_t, size_t, uint64, int64) to represent file sizes and
offsets, not all of which necessarily have the same width or
signedness, so further cleanup might be in order here. However, at
least now they all have the potential to be 64 bits wide on 64-bit
platforms.

When pg_control was first designed, sizeof(ControlFileData) was small
enough that a comment seemed like plenty to document the assumption that
it'd fit into one disk sector. Now it's nearly 300 bytes, raising the
possibility that somebody would carelessly add enough stuff to create
a problem. Let's add a StaticAssertStmt() to ensure that the situation
doesn't pass unnoticed if it ever occurs.
While at it, rename PG_CONTROL_SIZE to PG_CONTROL_FILE_SIZE to make it
clearer what that symbol means, and convert the existing runtime
comparisons of sizeof(ControlFileData) vs. PG_CONTROL_FILE_SIZE to be
static asserts --- we didn't have that technology when this code was
first written.

In the frontend Makefiles that pull in libpgfeutils, we'd generally
done it like this:
LDFLAGS += -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils $(libpq_pgport)
That method is badly broken, as seen in bug #14742 from Chris Ruprecht.
The -L flag for src/fe_utils ends up being placed after whatever random
-L flags are in LDFLAGS already. That puts us at risk of pulling in
libpgfeutils.a from some previous installation rather than the freshly
built one in src/fe_utils. Also, the lack of an "override" is hazardous
if someone tries to specify some LDFLAGS on the make command line.
The correct way to do it is like this:
override LDFLAGS := -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils $(libpq_pgport) $(LDFLAGS)
so that libpgfeutils, along with libpq, libpgport, and libpgcommon, are
guaranteed to be pulled in from the build tree and not from any referenced
system directory, because their -L flags will appear first.
In some places we'd been even lazier and done it like this:
LDFLAGS += -L$(top_builddir)/src/fe_utils -lpgfeutils -lpq
which is subtly wrong in an additional way: on platforms where we can't
restrict the symbols exported by libpq.so, it allows libpgfeutils to
latch onto libpgport and libpgcommon symbols from libpq.so, rather than
directly from those static libraries as intended. This carries hazards
like those explained in the comments for the libpq_pgport macro.
In addition to fixing the broken libpgfeutils usages, I tried to
standardize on using $(libpq_pgport) like so:
override LDFLAGS := $(libpq_pgport) $(LDFLAGS)
even where libpgfeutils is not in the picture. This makes no difference
right now but will hopefully discourage future mistakes of the same ilk.
And it's more like the way we handle CPPFLAGS in libpq-using Makefiles.
In passing, just for consistency, make pgbench include PTHREAD_LIBS the
same way everyplace else does, ie just after LIBS rather than in some
random place in the command line. This might have practical effect if
there are -L switches in that macro on some platform.
It looks to me like the MSVC build scripts are not affected by this
error, but someone more familiar with them than I might want to double
check.
Back-patch to 9.6 where libpgfeutils was introduced. In 9.6, the hazard
this error creates is that a reinstallation might link to the prior
installation's copy of libpgfeutils.a and thereby fail to absorb a
minor-version bug fix.
