This patch optimizes the md5_text() function (which is used to
implement the md5() SQL-level function). The old code did the
following:
1. de-toast the datum
2. convert it to a cstring via textout()
3. get the length of the cstring via strlen()
Since we are treating the datum context as a blob of binary data,
the latter two steps are unnecessary. Once the data has been
detoasted, we can just use it as-is, and derive its length from
the varlena metadata.
This patch improves some run-of-the-mill md5() computations by
just under 10% in my limited tests, and passes the regression tests.
I also noticed that md5_text() wasn't checking the return value
of md5_hash(); encountering OOM at precisely the right moment
could result in returning a random md5 hash. This patch corrects
that. A better fix would be to make md5_hash() only return on
success (and/or allocate via palloc()), but since it's used in
the frontend as well I don't see an easy way to do that.

This patch changes makes some significant changes to how compilation
and parsing work in PL/PgSQL:
- memory management is now done via palloc(). The compiled representation
of each function now has its own memory context. Therefore, the storage
consumed by a function can be reclaimed via MemoryContextDelete().
During compilation, the CurrentMemoryContext is the function's memory
context. This means that a palloc() is sufficient to allocate memory
that will have the same lifetime as the function itself. As a result,
code invoked during compilation should be careful to pfree() temporary
allocations to avoid leaking memory. Since a lot of the code in the
backend is not careful about releasing palloc'ed memory, that means
we should switch into a temporary memory context before invoking
backend functions. A temporary context appropriate for such allocations
is `compile_tmp_cxt'.
- The ability to use palloc() allows us to simply a lot of the code in
the parser. Rather than representing lists of elements via ad hoc
linked lists or arrays, we can use the List type. Rather than doing
malloc followed by memset(0), we can just use palloc0().
- We now check that the user has supplied the right number of parameters
to a RAISE statement. Supplying either too few or too many results in
an error (at runtime).
- PL/PgSQL's parser needs to accept arbitrary SQL statements. Since we
do not want to duplicate the SQL grammar in the PL/PgSQL grammar, this
means we need to be quite lax in what the PL/PgSQL grammar considers
a "SQL statement". This can lead to misleading behavior if there is a
syntax error in the function definition, since we assume a malformed
PL/PgSQL construct is a SQL statement. Furthermore, these errors were
only detected at runtime (when we tried to execute the alleged "SQL
statement" via SPI).
To rectify this, the patch changes the parser to invoke the main SQL
parser when it sees a string it believes to be a SQL expression. This
means that synctically-invalid SQL will be rejected during the
compilation of the PL/PgSQL function. This is only done when compiling
for "validation" purposes (i.e. at CREATE FUNCTION time), so it should
not impose a runtime overhead.
- Fixes for the various buffer overruns I've patched in stable branches
in the past few weeks. I've rewritten code where I thought it was
warranted (unlike the patches applied to older branches, which were
minimally invasive).
- Various other minor changes and cleanups.
- Updates to the regression tests.

Add code to prevent transaction ID wraparound by enforcing a safe limit

This can conveniently be combined with the first stage of an attack on
the problem that the 'flat file' copies of pg_shadow and pg_group are
not properly updated during WAL recovery. The code I've added to
startup resides in a new file src/backend/utils/init/flatfiles.c, and
it is responsible for rewriting the flat files as well as initializing
the XID wraparound limit value. This will eventually allow us to get
rid of GetRawDatabaseInfo too, but we'll need an initdb so we can add

ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN exhibits a significant memory leak when adding a
column with a default expression. In that situation, we need to rewrite
the heap relation. To evaluate the new default expression, we use
ExecEvalExpr(); however, this can allocate memory in the current memory
context, and ATRewriteTable() does not switch out of the active portal's
heap memory context. The end result is a rather large memory leak (on
the order of gigabytes for a reasonably sized table).
This patch changes ATRewriteTable() to switch to the per-tuple memory
context before beginning the per-tuple loop. It also removes an explicit
heap_freetuple() in the loop, since that is no longer needed.
In an unrelated change, I noticed the code was scanning through the
attributes of the new tuple descriptor for each tuple of the old table.
I changed this to use precomputation, which should slightly speed up
the loop.
Thanks to steve@deefs.net for reporting the leak.

It seems like most people don't want automatic failover so I am removing

Repair CLUSTER failure after ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS. Turns out

previous coding would fail, too: the new version of the table might not
have any TOAST table, but we'd still propagate possibly-wide values of
dropped columns forward.
