Restructure code that is responsible for ensuring that clauseless joins are
considered when it is necessary to do so because of a join-order restriction
(that is, an outer-join or IN-subselect construct). The former coding was a
bit ad-hoc and inconsistent, and it missed some cases, as exposed by Mario
Weilguni's recent bug report. His specific problem was that an IN could be
turned into a "clauseless" join due to constant-propagation removing the IN's
joinclause, and if the IN's subselect involved more than one relation and
there was more than one such IN linking to the same upper relation, then the
only valid join orders involve "bushy" plans but we would fail to consider the
specific paths needed to get there. (See the example case added to the join
regression test.) On examining the code I wonder if there weren't some other
problem cases too; in particular it seems that GEQO was defending against a
different set of corner cases than the main planner was. There was also an
efficiency problem, in that when we did realize we needed a clauseless join
because of an IN, we'd consider clauseless joins against every other relation
whether this was sensible or not. It seems a better design is to use the
outer-join and in-clause lists as a backup heuristic, just as the rule of
joining only where there are joinclauses is a heuristic: we'll join two
relations if they have a usable joinclause *or* this might be necessary to
satisfy an outer-join or IN-clause join order restriction. I refactored the
code to have just one place considering this instead of three, and made sure
that it covered all the cases that any of them had been considering.
Backpatch as far as 8.1 (which has only the IN-clause form of the disease).
By rights 8.0 and 7.4 should have the bug too, but they accidentally fail
to fail, because the joininfo structure used in those releases preserves some
memory of there having once been a joinclause between the inner and outer
sides of an IN, and so it leads the code in the right direction anyway.
I'll be conservative and not touch them.

Fix up foreign-key mechanism so that there is a sound semantic basis for the
equality checks it applies, instead of a random dependence on whatever
operators might be named "=". The equality operators will now be selected
from the opfamily of the unique index that the FK constraint depends on to
enforce uniqueness of the referenced columns; therefore they are certain to be
consistent with that index's notion of equality. Among other things this
should fix the problem noted awhile back that pg_dump may fail for foreign-key
constraints on user-defined types when the required operators aren't in the
search path. This also means that the former warning condition about "foreign
key constraint will require costly sequential scans" is gone: if the
comparison condition isn't indexable then we'll reject the constraint
entirely. All per past discussions.

for i in 1..10 loop
declare c constant text := 'hi there';

(In particular, this is why Asif Ali Rehman's bug leads to crash and not
just an unexpectedly-NULL value for SQLERRM: SQLERRM is marked CONSTANT
and so triggers this error.)

remove the "optimization" instead of trying to fix it.

Fix bug in our code when using to_timestamp() or to_date() without "TM".
Assume "TM" when input fields are variable-length, like month or day
names. This matches Oracle behavior.

Add a function pg_stat_clear_snapshot() that discards any statistics snapshot
already collected in the current transaction; this allows plpgsql functions to
watch for stats updates even though they are confined to a single transaction.
Use this instead of the previous kluge involving pg_stat_file() to wait for
the stats collector to update in the stats regression test. Internally,
decouple storage of stats snapshots from transaction boundaries; they'll
now stick around until someone calls pgstat_clear_snapshot --- which xact.c
still does at transaction end, to maintain the previous behavior. This makes
the logic a lot cleaner, at the price of a couple dozen cycles per transaction
exit.

Modify the stats regression test to delay until the stats file actually
changes (with an upper limit of 30 seconds), and record the delay time in
the postmaster log. This should give us some info about what's happening
with the intermittent stats failures in buildfarm. After an idea of
Andrew Dunstan's.

Remove the xlog-centric "database system is ready" message and replace it with

Fix an error in the original coding of holdable cursors: PersistHoldablePortal
thought that it didn't have to reposition the underlying tuplestore if the
portal is atEnd. But this is not so, because tuplestores have separate read
and write cursors ... and the read cursor hasn't moved from the start.
This mistake explains bug #2970 from William Zhang.
Note: the coding here is pretty inefficient, but given that no one has noticed
this bug until now, I'd say hardly anyone uses the case where the cursor has
been advanced before being persisted. So maybe it's not worth worrying about.

Remove typmod checking from the recent security-related patches. It turns
out that ExecEvalVar and friends don't necessarily have access to a tuple
descriptor with correct typmod: it definitely can contain -1, and possibly
might contain other values that are different from the Var's value.
Arguably this should be cleaned up someday, but it's not a simple change,
and in any case typmod discrepancies don't pose a security hazard.
Per reports from numerous people :-(
I'm not entirely sure whether the failure can occur in 8.0 --- the simple
test cases reported so far don't trigger it there. But back-patch the
change all the way anyway.
