Revert my patch of 2009-04-04 that removed contrib/intarray's definitions of
the <@ and @> operators. These are not in fact equivalent to the built-in
anyarray operators of the same names, because they have different behavior for
empty arrays, namely they don't think empty arrays are contained in anything.
That is mathematically wrong, no doubt, but until we can persuade GIN indexes
to implement the mathematical definition we should probably not change this.
Another reason for not changing it now is that we can't yet ensure the
opclasses will be updated correctly in a dump-and-reload upgrade. Per
recent discussions.

Improve the IndexVacuumInfo/IndexBulkDeleteResult API to allow somewhat sane
behavior in cases where we don't know the heap tuple count accurately; in
particular partial vacuum, but this also makes the API a bit more useful
for ANALYZE. This patch adds "estimated_count" flags to both structs so
that an approximate count can be flagged as such, and adjusts the logic
so that approximate counts are not used for updating pg_class.reltuples.
This fixes my previous complaint that VACUUM was putting ridiculous values
into pg_class.reltuples for indexes. The actual impact of that bug is
limited, because the planner only pays attention to reltuples for an index
if the index is partial; which probably explains why beta testers hadn't
noticed a degradation in plan quality from it. But it needs to be fixed.
The whole thing is a bit messy and should be redesigned in future, because
reltuples now has the potential to drift quite far away from reality when
a long period elapses with no non-partial vacuums. But this is as good as
it's going to get for 8.4.

Change AdjustIntervalForTypmod to not discard higher-order field values on the
grounds that they don't fit into the specified interval qualifier (typmod).
This behavior, while of long standing, is clearly wrong per spec --- for
example the value INTERVAL '999' SECOND means 999 seconds and should not be
reduced to less than 60 seconds.
In some cases there could be grounds to raise an error if higher-order field
values are not given as zero; for example '1 year 1 month'::INTERVAL MONTH
should arguably be taken as an error rather than equivalent to 13 months.
However our internal representation doesn't allow us to do that in a fashion
that would consistently reject all and only the cases that a strict reading
of the spec would suggest. Also, seeing that for example INTERVAL '13' MONTH
will print out as '1 year 1 mon', we have to be careful not to create a
situation where valid data will fail to dump and reload. The present patch
therefore takes the attitude of not throwing an error in any such case.
We might want to revisit that in future but it would take more redesign
than seems prudent in late beta.
Per a complaint from Sebastien Flaesch and subsequent discussion. While
at other times we might have just postponed such an issue to the next
development cycle, 8.4 already has changed the parsing of interval literals
quite a bit in an effort to accept all spec-compliant cases correctly.

Do some minor code refactoring in preparation for changing the APIs of
find_inheritance_children() and find_all_inheritors(). I got annoyed that
these are buried inside the planner but mostly used elsewhere. So, create
a new file catalog/pg_inherits.c and put them there, along with a couple
of other functions that search pg_inherits.
The code that modifies pg_inherits is (still) in tablecmds.c --- it's
kind of entangled with unrelated code that modifies pg_depend and other
stuff, so pulling it out seemed like a bigger change than I wanted to make
right now. But this file provides a natural home for it if anyone ever
gets around to that.
This commit just moves code around; it doesn't change anything, except
I succumbed to the temptation to make a couple of trivial optimizations
in typeInheritsFrom().

Partially revert my patch of 2008-11-12 that installed a limit on the number
of AND/OR clause branches that predtest.c would attempt to deal with. As
noted in bug #4721, that change disabled proof attempts for sizes of problems
that people are actually expecting it to work for. The original complaint
it was trying to solve was O(N^2) behavior for long IN-lists, so let's try
applying the limit to just ScalarArrayOpExprs rather than everything.
Another case of "foolish consistency" I fear.
Back-patch to 8.2, same as the previous patch was.

Make a marginal performance improvement in predicate_implied_by and
predicate_refuted_by: if either top-level input is a single-element list,
reduce it to its lone member before proceeding. This avoids
a useless level of AND-recursion within the recursive proof routines.
It's worth doing because, for example, if the clause is a 100-element
list and the predicate is a 1-element list then we'd otherwise strip
the predicate's list structure 100 times as we iterate through the clause.
It's only needed at top level because there won't be any trivial ANDs below
that --- this situation is an artifact of the decision to represent even
single-item conditions as Lists in the "implicit AND" format, and that format
is only used at the top level of any predicate or restriction condition.

Adjust pg_dumpall so that it emits ENCODING, LC_COLLATE, and LC_CTYPE options
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.

Add an option to AlterTableCreateToastTable() to allow its caller to force

old table has a toast table, we have to migrate over the toast table since
it might contain some live data, even though subsequent column drops could

Change pgbench to use the table names pgbench_accounts, pgbench_branches,
pgbench_history, and pgbench_tellers, rather than just accounts, branches,
history, and tellers. This is to prevent accidental conflicts with real

remove the automatic "SET search_path = public" that it did at startup,

Request XLOG switch before writing checkpoint in pg_start_backup(). Otherwise
you can end up with an unrecoverable backup if you start a new base backup
right after finishing archive recovery. In that scenario, the redo pointer of
the checkpoint that pg_start_backup() writes points to the XLOG segment where
the timeline-changing end-of-archive-recovery checkpoint is. The beginning
of that segment contains pages with the old timeline ID, and we don't accept
that in recovery unless we find a history file covering the old timeline ID.
If you omit pg_xlog from the base backup and clear the archive directory
before starting the backup, there will be no such history file available.
The bug is present in all versions since PITR was introduced in 8.0, but I'm
back-patching only back to 8.2. Earlier versions didn't have XLOG switch
records, making this fix unfeasible. Given the lack of reports until now,
it doesn't seem worthwhile to spend more effort to fix 8.0 and 8.1.

Tweak distribute_qual_to_rels so that when we decide a pseudoconstant qual
can be pushed to the top of the join tree, we update both the relids and
qualscope variables to keep them in sync. This prevents a possible later
failure of an Assert clause, and affects nothing else since qualscope isn't
used later except for that Assert. At the moment the Assert shouldn't be
reachable when we've pushed the qual up; but this is cheap insurance, and
it's more sensible anyway in terms of the overall logic of the routine.

I'm not back-patching this since it's just future-proofing; but if anyone
gets tempted to change check_outerjoin_delay again in the back branches,

Modify CREATE DATABASE to enforce that the source database's encoding setting

would be invalid according to a different setting. This represents another
step in a continuing process of locking down ways in which encoding violations
