Nathan Bossart 6aa44060a3 Remove pg_authid's TOAST table.
pg_authid's only varlena column is rolpassword, which unfortunately
cannot be de-TOASTed during authentication because we haven't
selected a database yet and cannot read pg_class.  By removing
pg_authid's TOAST table, attempts to set password hashes that
require out-of-line storage will fail with a "row is too big"
error instead.  We may want to provide a more user-friendly error
in the future, but for now let's just remove the useless TOAST
table.

Bumps catversion.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
