rather than elog(FATAL), when there is no more room in ShmemBackendArray.
This is a security issue since too many connection requests arriving close
together could cause the postmaster to shut down, resulting in denial of
service. Reported by Yoshiyuki Asaba, fixed by Magnus Hagander.
the relation but it finds a pre-existing valid buffer. The buffer does not
correspond to any page known to the kernel, so we *must* do smgrextend to
ensure that the space becomes allocated. The 7.x branches all do this
correctly, but the corner case got lost somewhere during 8.0 bufmgr rewrites.
(My fault no doubt :-( ... I think I assumed that such a buffer must be
not-BM_VALID, which is not so.)
from Andrus Moor. The former state-machine-style coding wasn't actually
doing much except obscuring the control flow, and it didn't extend
readily to fix this case, so I just took it out. Also, add a
YY_FLUSH_BUFFER call to ensure the lexer is reset correctly if the
previous scan failed partway through the file.
selection of a field from the result of a function returning RECORD.
I believe this case is new in 8.1; it's due to the addition of OUT parameters.
Per example from Michael Fuhr.
if (c == '\\' && cstate->line_buf.len == 0)
The problem with that is the because of the input and _output_
buffering, cstate->line_buf.len could be zero even if we are not on the
first character of a line. In fact, for a typical line, it is zero for
all characters on the line. The proper solution is to introduce a
boolean, first_char_in_line, that we set as we enter the loop and clear
once we process a character.
I have restructured the line-reading code in copy.c by:
o merging the CSV/non-CSV functions into a single function
o used macros to centralize and clarify the buffering code
o updated comments
o renamed client_encoding_only to encoding_embeds_ascii
o added a high-bit test to the encoding_embeds_ascii test for
performance
o in CSV mode, allow a backslash followed by a non-period to
continue being processed as a data value
There should be no performance impact from this patch because it is
functionally equivalent. If you apply the patch you will see copy.c is
much clearer in this area now and might suggest additional
optimizations.
I have also attached a 8.1-only patch to fix the CSV \. handling bug
with no code restructuring.

differ by more than the last directory component. Instead of insisting
that they match up to the last component, accept whatever common prefix
they have, and try to replace the non-matching part of bin_path with
the non-matching part of target_path in the actual executable's path.
In one way this is tighter than the old code, because it insists on
a match to the part of bin_path we want to substitute for, rather than
blindly stripping one directory component from the executable's path.
Per gripe from Martin Pitt and subsequent discussion.
equal: if strcoll claims two strings are equal, check it with strcmp, and
sort according to strcmp if not identical. This fixes inconsistent
behavior under glibc's hu_HU locale, and probably under some other locales
as well. Also, take advantage of the now-well-defined behavior to speed up
texteq, textne, bpchareq, bpcharne: they may as well just do a bitwise
comparison and not bother with strcoll at all.
NOTE: affected databases may need to REINDEX indexes on text columns to be
sure they are self-consistent.

if the user writes something a bit silly, like CASE x=y WHEN TRUE THEN.
