== Reviews ==

== Angewandte Patches ==

Robert Haas pushed:

- Add new pgbench switch, --unlogged-tables. This entails adjusting
pgbench to use getopt_long() rather than getopt().

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/2d6fee09eba8474d9a69c08bf716f3e2d31e5fdf

- Add new pgbench options, --tablespace and --index-tablespace. Per a
request from Greg Smith.

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/7c26395661ce549621db6fa93c0abb9cdbac9837

- Improvements to SQL/MED documentation. Laurenz Albe, somewhat
modified by me.

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/f5af8eed9201e50bc5c761809ff57ef1ace91502

- Add some environment checks prior to sepgsql regression testing.
This probably needs more work, but it's a start. KaiGai Kohei

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/8cca49d8a0d969e1c0f08779e8230466e395b813

- Clarify which relkinds accept column comments. Per discussion with
Josh Kupershmidt.

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/c80be8a816ac4bf8b910aaaec599c683804bcd77

- Only display column comments for relkinds that support them. Josh
Kupershmidt, with minor modifications by me.

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/8c18f3f0e15738633231b31d8937b2710b38975f

- Fix typo. Noted by Josh Kupershmidt.

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/a8302803ab225e87458037b922aceee9864d9f54

- Move new pgbench options to correct section of --help output.

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/60fb25a3f56bd78e961cc7263e5ae11e1eceeb5e

- Reduce sinval synchronization overhead. Testing shows that the
overhead of acquiring and releasing SInvalReadLock and msgNumLock on
high-core count boxes can waste a lot of CPU time and hurt
performance. This patch adds a per-backend flag that allows us to
skip all that locking in most cases. Further testing shows that
this improves performance even when sinval traffic is very high.
Patch by me. Review and testing by Noah Misch.

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/b4fbe392f8ff6ff1a66b488eb7197eef9e1770a4

Andrew Dunstan pushed:

- Silence compiler warning about uninitialized variable. It is set
correctly on the only path that uses it, but the compiler can't know
that.

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/74e6d37276564d4be1f60d9edb76d7d066395773

- Don't build replacement getpeereid function on mingw. Windows
doesn't have Unix sockets, so it's not needed, and moreover causes
compile warnings.

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/c9737310d5f9b87b5edb3674b5d34eea2f198a0b

Peter Eisentraut pushed:

- Replace printf format %i by %d. They are identical, but the
overwhelming majority of the code uses %d, so standardize on that.

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/ce8d7bb6440710058503d213b2aafcdf56a5b481

- Add missing newlines at end of error messages

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/e67efb01e886d69d40d1cd87fba4507e8bb1035e

- Minor message style adjustment

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/0fe8150827693fca429a01b1cf2914f7f14d3b2d

- Add host name resolution information to pg_hba.conf error messages.
This is to be able to analyze issues with host names in pg_hba.conf.

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/8a0fa9cad9939f53f0b496d95d7e7fd9cfab0e9c

Tom Lane pushed:

- Check to see whether libxml2 handles error context the way we
expect. It turns out to be possible to link against a libxml2.so
that does this differently than the version we configured and built
against, so we need a runtime check to avoid bizarre behavior. Per
report from Bernd Helmle. Patch by Florian Pflug.

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/c1420fcf7d9e899b3378e25f5e21776f6461b4a4

- Fix pg_restore's direct-to-database mode for
standard_conforming_strings. pg_backup_db.c contained a mini SQL
lexer with which it tried to identify boundaries between SQL
commands, but that code was not designed to cope with
standard_conforming_strings, and would get the wrong answer if a
backslash immediately precedes a closing single quote in such a
string, as per report from Julian Mehnle. The bug only affects
direct-to-database restores from archive files made with
standard_conforming_strings = on. Rather than complicating the code
some more to try to fix that, let's just rip it all out. The only
reason it was needed was to cope with COPY data embedded into
ordinary archive entries, which was a layout that was used only for
about the first three weeks of the archive format's existence, and
never in any production release of pg_dump. Instead, just rely on
the archive file layout to tell us whether we're printing COPY data
or not. This bug represents a data corruption hazard in all
releases in which standard_conforming_strings can be turned on, ie
8.2 and later, so back-patch to all supported branches.

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/6545a901aaf84cb05212bb6a7674059908f527c3

Bruce Momjian pushed:

- Fix pg_update to properly test for the data directory's existence on
Win32. Backpatch to 9.1.

http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/a31dc392d684627d0943fe67491bea91c5e619aa
