(could happen if either postgresql.conf or postmaster.opts is empty).
It's been broken since the C version was written for 8.0, so patch
all the way back.
initdb's copy of the function is broken in the same way, but it's
less important there since the input files should never be empty.
Patch that in HEAD only, and also fix some cosmetic differences that
crept into that copy of the function.
Per report from Corry Haines and Jeff Davis.
#include the version of history.h that is in the same directory as the
readline.h we are using. This avoids problems in some scenarios where both
readline and editline are installed. Report and patch by Zdenek Kotala.
when we reach the post-COPY "pump it dry" error recovery code that was added
2006-11-24. Per a report from Neil Best, there is at least one code path
in which this occurs, leading to an infinite loop in code that's supposed
to be making it more robust not less so. A reasonable response seems to be
to call PQputCopyEnd() again, so let's try that.
Back-patch to all versions that contain the cleanup loop.
used to work as intended, but got broken some time ago (a quoted empty string
is not an empty string), and got broken some more by the changes to generate
ecpg's preproc.y automatically. Given all the unprotected uses of $(PERL)
elsewhere, it seems best to make use of the $(missing) script rather than
trying to ensure each such use is protected individually. Also fix various
bits of documentation that omitted to mention Perl as a requirement for
building from a CVS pull. Per a complaint from Robert Haas.
cosmetic --- I'm wondering if geteuid could have side effects on errno,
thus possibly resulting in a misleading error message after failure of
getpwuid.
throwing an error as 8.4 had been doing. The error interfered with porting
old database definitions (particularly for pg_migrator) without really buying
any safety. Per bug #4817 and subsequent discussion.
an expression that's not supposed to contain variables. Per discussion
with Gevik Babakhani, this eliminates the need for an ugly kluge (namely,
specifying some unrelated relation name). Remove one such kluge from
pg_dump.
in its CREATE DATABASE commands only for databases that have settings
different from the installation defaults. This is a low-tech method of
avoiding unnecessary platform dependencies in dump files. Eventually we ought
to have a platform-independent way of specifying LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE, but
that's not going to happen for 8.4, and this patch at least avoids the issue
for people who aren't setting up per-database locales. ENCODING doesn't have
the platform dependency problem, but it seems consistent to make it act the
same as the locale settings.
If a currently running item needs an exclusive lock on any item that the candidate items needs
any sort of lock on, or vice versa, then the candidate item is not allowed to run now, and
must wait till later.
tablespaces in an order that has some chance of working.
Per a complaint from Kevin Bailey.
This is a pre-existing bug, but given the lack of prior complaints I'm
not sure it's worth back-patching. In most cases failure of the DROP
commands wouldn't be that important anyway.
In passing, fix syntax errors in dumpCreateDB()'s queries for old servers;
these were apparently introduced in recent binary_upgrade patch.
cstring from the output of \df. Now that the default behavior is to
exclude all system functions, the de-cluttering rationale for this behavior
seems pretty weak; and it was always quite confusing/unhelpful if you were
actually looking for I/O functions. (Not to mention if you were looking
for encoding converters or other cases that might take or return cstring.)
are using our own ports of getopt or getopt_long, those will define
the variable for themselves; and if not, we don't need these, because
we never touch the variable anyway.
