Issuing a savepoint-related command in a Query message that contains multiple SQL statements led to a FATAL exit with a complaint about "unexpected state STARTED". This is a shortcoming of commit 4f896dac1, which attempted to prevent such misbehaviors in multi-statement strings; its quick hack of marking the individual statements as "not top-level" does the wrong thing in this case, and isn't a very accurate description of the situation anyway. To fix, let's introduce into xact.c an explicit model of what happens for multi-statement Query strings. This is an "implicit transaction block in progress" state, which for many purposes works like the normal TBLOCK_INPROGRESS state --- in particular, IsTransactionBlock returns true, causing the desired result that PreventTransactionChain will throw error. But in case of error abort it works like TBLOCK_STARTED, allowing the transaction to be cancelled without need for an explicit ROLLBACK command. Commit 4f896dac1 is reverted in toto, so that we go back to treating the individual statements as "top level". We could have left it as-is, but this allows sharpening the error message for PreventTransactionChain calls inside functions. Except for getting a normal error instead of a FATAL exit for savepoint commands, this patch should result in no user-visible behavioral change (other than that one error message rewording). There are some things we might want to do in the line of changing the appearance or wording of error and warning messages around this behavior, which would be much simpler to do now that it's an explicitly modeled state. But I haven't done them here. Although this fixes a long-standing bug, no backpatch. The consequences of the bug don't seem severe enough to justify the risk that this commit itself creates some new issue. Patch by me, but it owes something to previous investigation by Takayuki Tsunakawa, who also reported the bug in the first place. Also thanks to Michael Paquier for reviewing.

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".
