These characters prematurely terminate Windows shell command processing,
causing the shell to execute a prefix of the intended command. The
chief alternative to rejecting these characters was to bypass the
Windows shell with CreateProcess(), but the ability to use such names
has little value. Back-patch to 9.1 (all supported versions).
This change formally revokes support for these characters in database
names and roles names. Don't document this; the error message is
self-explanatory, and too few users would benefit. A future major
release may forbid creation of databases and roles so named. For now,
check only at known weak points in pg_dumpall. Future commits will,
without notice, reject affected names from other frontend programs.
Also extend the restriction to pg_dumpall --dbname=CONNSTR arguments and
--file arguments. Unlike the effects on role name arguments and
database names, this does not reflect a broad policy change. A
migration to CreateProcess() could lift these two restrictions.

Dump out the appropriate GRANT/REVOKE commands for databases and
tablespaces from pg_dumpall to replicate what the current state is.
This was broken during the changes to buildACLCommands for 9.6+
servers for pg_init_privs.
When pulling the list of roles to drop, exclude roles whose names
begin with "pg_" (as we do when we are dumping the roles out to
recreate them).
Also add regression tests to cover pg_dumpall -c and this specific
issue.
Noticed by Rushabh Lathia. Patch by me.
We need to use a new branch due to the 9.5 addition of bypassrls
when adding in the clause to exclude pg_* roles from being dumped
by pg_dumpall.
Pointed out by Noah, patch by me.
This will prevent users from creating roles which begin with "pg_" and
will check for those roles before allowing an upgrade using pg_upgrade.
This will allow for default roles to be provided at initdb time.

Now that all of the infrastructure exists, add in the ability to
dump out the ACLs of the objects inside of pg_catalog or the ACLs
for objects which are members of extensions, but only if they have
been changed from their original values.
The original values are tracked in pg_init_privs. When pg_dump'ing
9.6-and-above databases, we will dump out the ACLs for all objects
in pg_catalog and the ACLs for all extension members, where the ACL
has been changed from the original value which was set during either
initdb or CREATE EXTENSION.
This should not change dumps against pre-9.6 databases.

Per discussion, we want to create a static library and put the stuff into
it that until now has been shared across src/bin/ directories by ad-hoc
methods like symlinking a source file. This commit creates the library and
populates it with a couple of files that contain the widely-useful portions
of pg_dump's dumputils.c file. dumputils.c survives, because it has some
stuff that didn't seem appropriate for fe_utils, but it's significantly
smaller and is no longer referenced from any other directory.
Follow-on patches will move more stuff into fe_utils.
The Mkvcbuild.pm hacking here is just a best guess; we'll see how the
buildfarm likes it.
Modify pg_dump to restore postgres/template1 databases to non-default

There's no point in trying to free every small allocation in these
programs that are used in a one-shot fashion, but these ones seems like
an improvement on readability grounds.
Michael Paquier, per Coverity report.
The commit c22ed3d523 turned
the -i/--ignore-version options into no-ops and marked as deprecated.
Considering we shipped that in 8.4, it's time to remove all trace of
those switches, per discussion. We'd still have to wait a couple releases
before it'd be safe to use -i for something else, but it'd be a start.
Use "a" and "an" correctly, mostly in comments. Two error messages were
also fixed (they were just elogs, so no translation work required). Two
function comments in pg_proc.h were also fixed. Etsuro Fujita reported one
of these, but I found a lot more with grep.
Also fix a few other typos spotted while grepping for the a/an typos.
For example, "consists out of ..." -> "consists of ...". Plus a "though"/
"through" mixup reported by Euler Taveira.
Many of these typos were in old code, which would be nice to backpatch to
make future backpatching easier. But much of the code was new, and I didn't
feel like crafting separate patches for each branch. So no backpatching.
Previously, these functions were created in a schema "binary_upgrade",
which was deleted after pg_upgrade was finished. Because we don't want
to keep that schema around permanently, move them to pg_catalog but
rename them with a binary_upgrade_... prefix.
The provided functions are only small wrappers around global variables
that were added specifically for pg_upgrade use, so keeping the module
separate does not create any modularity.
The functions still check that they are only called in binary upgrade
mode, so it is not possible to call these during normal operation.

The overall design was deemed unacceptable, in discussion following the

salvageable, but I don't want to be on the hook for fixing it, so let's
wait until we have a new patch.
The previous representation using a boolean column for each attribute

Fix breakage induced by commits d8d3d2a4f3
and 463f2625a5fb183b6a8925ccde98bb3889f921d9: pg_dumpall has crashed when
attempting to dump from pre-8.1 servers since then, due to faulty
construction of the query used for dumping roles from older servers.
The query was erroneous as of the earlier commit, but it wasn't exposed
unless you tried to use --binary-upgrade, which you presumably wouldn't
with a pre-8.1 server. However commit 463f2625a made it fail always.
In HEAD, also fix additional breakage induced in the same query by

Commit ad5d46a449 thought that we could
get around the known portability issues of strftime's %Z specifier by
using %z instead. However, that idea seems to have been innocent of
any actual research, as it certainly missed the facts that
(1) %z is not portable to pre-C99 systems, and
(2) %z doesn't actually act differently from %Z on Windows anyway.
Per failures on buildfarm member hamerkop.
While at it, centralize the code defining what strftime format we
want to use in pg_dump; three copies of that string seems a bit much.
Most pg_dump.c global variables, which were passed down individually to
dumping routines, are now grouped as members of the new DumpOptions
struct, which is used as a local variable and passed down into routines
that need it. This helps future development efforts; in particular it
is said to enable a mode in which a parallel pg_dump run can output
multiple streams, and have them restored in parallel.
Also take the opportunity to clean up the pg_dump header files somewhat,
to avoid circularity.

Building on the updatable security-barrier views work, add the
ability to define policies on tables to limit the set of rows
which are returned from a query and which are allowed to be added
to a table. Expressions defined by the policy for filtering are
added to the security barrier quals of the query, while expressions
defined to check records being added to a table are added to the
with-check options of the query.
New top-level commands are CREATE/ALTER/DROP POLICY and are
controlled by the table owner. Row Security is able to be enabled
and disabled by the owner on a per-table basis using
ALTER TABLE .. ENABLE/DISABLE ROW SECURITY.
Per discussion, ROW SECURITY is disabled on tables by default and
must be enabled for policies on the table to be used. If no
policies exist on a table with ROW SECURITY enabled, a default-deny
policy is used and no records will be visible.
By default, row security is applied at all times except for the
table owner and the superuser. A new GUC, row_security, is added
which can be set to ON, OFF, or FORCE. When set to FORCE, row
security will be applied even for the table owner and superusers.
When set to OFF, row security will be disabled when allowed and an
error will be thrown if the user does not have rights to bypass row
security.
Per discussion, pg_dump sets row_security = OFF by default to ensure
that exports and backups will have all data in the table or will
error if there are insufficient privileges to bypass row security.
A new option has been added to pg_dump, --enable-row-security, to
ask pg_dump to export with row security enabled.
A new role capability, BYPASSRLS, which can only be set by the
superuser, is added to allow other users to be able to bypass row
security using row_security = OFF.

design, particularly Robert Haas for his feedback.

Historically these database properties could be manipulated only by
manually updating pg_database, which is error-prone and only possible for
superusers. But there seems no good reason not to allow database owners to
set them for their databases, so invent CREATE/ALTER DATABASE options to do
that. Adjust a couple of places that were doing it the hard way to use the
commands instead.

It's easy to forget using SYSTEMQUOTEs when constructing command strings
for system() or popen(). Even if we fix all the places missing it now, it is
bound to be forgotten again in the future. Introduce wrapper functions that
do the the extra quoting for you, and get rid of SYSTEMQUOTEs in all the
callers.
We previosly used SYSTEMQUOTEs in all the hard-coded command strings, and
this doesn't change the behavior of those. But user-supplied commands, like
archive_command, restore_command, COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM calls, as well as
pgbench's \shell, will now gain an extra pair of quotes. That is desirable,
but if you have existing scripts or config files that include an extra
pair of quotes, those might need to be adjusted.

pg_dumpall's charter is to be able to recreate a database cluster's
contents in a virgin installation, but it was failing to honor that
contract if the cluster had any ALTER DATABASE SET
default_transaction_read_only settings. By including a SET command
for the connection for each connection opened by pg_dumpall output,
errors are avoided and the source cluster is successfully
recreated.
There was discussion of whether to also set this for the connection
applying pg_dump output, but it was felt that it was both less
appropriate in that context, and far easier to work around.
Backpatch to all supported branches.
Move functions used only by pg_dump and pg_restore from dumputils.c to a new
file, pg_backup_utils.c. dumputils.c is linked into psql and some programs
in bin/scripts, so it seems good to keep it slim. The parallel functionality
is moved to parallel.c, as is exit_horribly, because the interesting code in
exit_horribly is parallel-related.
This refactoring gets rid of the on_exit_msg_func function pointer. It was
problematic, because a modern gcc version with -Wmissing-format-attribute
complained if it wasn't marked with PF_PRINTF_ATTRIBUTE, but the ancient gcc
version that Tom Lane's old HP-UX box has didn't accept that attribute on a
function pointer, and gave an error. We still use a similar function pointer
trick for getLocalPQBuffer() function, to use a thread-local version of that
in parallel mode on Windows, but that dodges the problem because it doesn't
take printf-like arguments.
For getting the server's version in numeric form, use PQserverVersion().
It does the exact same parsing as dumputils.c's parse_version(), and has
been around in libpq for a long time. For the client's version, just use
the PG_VERSION_NUM constant.
New infrastructure is added which creates a set number of workers
(threads on Windows, forked processes on Unix). Jobs are then
handed out to these workers by the master process as needed.
pg_restore is adjusted to use this new infrastructure in place of the
old setup which created a new worker for each step on the fly. Parallel
dumps acquire a snapshot clone in order to stay consistent, if
available.
The parallel option is selected by the -j / --jobs command line
parameter of pg_dump.
Joachim Wieland, lightly editorialized by Andrew Dunstan.
There's no harm in excessive quoting per se, but it makes the strings nicer
to read. The values can get quite unwieldy, when they're first quoted within
within single-quotes when included in the connection string, and then all
the single-quotes are escaped when the connection string is passed as a
shell argument.
Like with pg_basebackup and pg_receivexlog, it's a bit strange to call the
option -d/--dbname, when in fact you cannot pass a database name in it.
Original patch by Amit Kapila, heavily modified by me.
If a database name contained a '=' character, pg_dumpall failed. The problem
was in the way pg_dumpall passes the database name to pg_dump on the
command line. If it contained a '=' character, pg_dump would interpret it
as a libpq connection string instead of a plain database name.
To fix, pass the database name to pg_dump as a connection string,
"dbname=foo", with the database name escaped if necessary.

libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the
various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate
implementations of common routines. We avoid libpgport, because that's
intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better
to keep them separate.
The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc
and friends, which many frontend programs were already using.
At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions
for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can
also be used by the frontend cleanly. To do this, we change palloc() in
the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of
MemoryContextAlloc(). This was previously believed to cause loss of
performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres
so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the
previous one.
This lets us clean up some places that were already with
localized hacks.

Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of

Instead, add a function pg_tablespace_location(oid) used to return
the same information, and do this by reading the symbolic link.
Doing it this way makes it possible to relocate a tablespace when the

the validity of the dump isn't dependent on the order in which those

explicitly granted the REPLICATION permissions. This is backwards
incompatible change, in the interest of higher default security.

If expand_dbname is non-zero and dbname contains an = sign, it is taken as
a conninfo string in exactly the same way as if it had been passed to
PQconnectdb. This is equivalent to the way PQsetdbLogin() works, allowing
PQconnectdbParams() to be a complete alternative.
Also improve the way the new function is called from psql and replace a
previously missed call to PQsetdbLogin() in psql. Additionally use
PQconnectdbParams() for pg_dump and friends, and the bin/scripts
command line utilities such as vacuumdb, createdb, etc.
Finally, update the documentation for the new parameter, as well as the
nuances of precedence in cases where key words are repeated or duplicated
in the conninfo string.
This patch only supports seq_page_cost and random_page_cost as parameters,
