presence of dropped columns. Document the already-presumed fact that
eref aliases in relation RTEs are supposed to have entries for dropped
columns; cause the user alias structs to have such entries too, so that
there's always a one-to-one mapping to the underlying physical attnums.
Adjust expandRTE() and related code to handle the case where a column
that is part of a JOIN has been dropped. Generalize expandRTE()'s API
so that it can be used in a couple of places that formerly rolled their
own implementation of the same logic. Fix ruleutils.c to suppress
display of aliases for columns that were dropped since the rule was made.
value of 'start' could be past the end of the page, if the page was
split by some concurrent inserting process since we visited it. In
this situation the code could look at bogus entries and possibly find
a match (since after all those entries still contain what they had
before the split). This would lead to 'specified item offset is too large'
followed by 'PANIC: failed to add item to the page', as reported by Joe
Conway for scenarios involving heavy concurrent insertion activity.
to the physical layout of the rowtype, ie, there are dummy arguments
corresponding to any dropped columns in the rowtype. We formerly had a
couple of places that did it this way and several others that did not.

global variables are problematic on this platform. Simplest solution
seems to be to initialize pthread key variable to 0. Also, rename this
variable and check_sigpipe_handler to something involving "pq" to
avoid gratuitous pollution of application namespace.
of XLogInsert had the same sort of checkpoint interlock problem as
RecordTransactionCommit, and indeed I found some. Btree index build
and ALTER TABLE SET TABLESPACE write data outside the friendly confines
of the buffer manager, and therefore they have to take their own
responsibility for checkpoint interlock. The easiest solution seems to
be to force smgrimmedsync at the end of the index build or table copy,
even when the operation is being WAL-logged. This is sufficient since
the new index or table will be of interest to no one if we don't get
as far as committing the current transaction.
therefore starting with GetCurrentTransactionId is wrong. Fixes

don't hold an open file reference to the original table at the end.
This is a good thing in any case, particularly so on Windows which
cannot drop the table file otherwise.
by the SQL standard. For backwards compatibility, however, continue to
accept the syntax without. Minor editorialization in the reference pages
for these commands, too.
and doesn't process forward slashes in the same way as external
commands. Quoting the first argument to COPY does not convert forward
to backward slashes, but COPY does properly process quoted forward
slashes in the second argument.
Win32 COPY works with quoted forward slashes in the first argument only if the
current directory is the same as the directory of the first argument.

for transaction commits that occurred just before the checkpoint. This is
an EXTREMELY serious bug --- kudos to Satoshi Okada for creating a
reproducible test case to prove its existence.
