> Fix multiple bugs associated with <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY</TT
> (Andres Freund, Tom Lane)
</P
><P
> Fix <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY</TT
> to use
in-place updates when changing the state of an index's
<TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>pg_index</TT
> row. This prevents race conditions that could
cause concurrent sessions to miss updating the target index, thus
resulting in corrupt concurrently-created indexes.
</P
><P
> Also, fix various other operations to ensure that they ignore
invalid indexes resulting from a failed <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY</TT
> command. The most important of these is
<TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>VACUUM</TT
>, because an auto-vacuum could easily be launched
on the table before corrective action can be taken to fix or remove
the invalid index.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> Fix buffer locking during WAL replay (Tom Lane)
</P
><P
> The WAL replay code was insufficiently careful about locking buffers
when replaying WAL records that affect more than one page. This could
result in hot standby queries transiently seeing inconsistent states,
resulting in wrong answers or unexpected failures.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> Fix an error in WAL generation logic for GIN indexes (Tom Lane)
</P
><P
> This could result in index corruption, if a torn-page failure occurred.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> Properly remove startup process's virtual XID lock when promoting a
hot standby server to normal running (Simon Riggs)
</P
><P
> This oversight could prevent subsequent execution of certain
operations such as <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY</TT
>.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> Avoid bogus <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"out-of-sequence timeline ID"</SPAN
> errors in standby
mode (Heikki Linnakangas)
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> Prevent the postmaster from launching new child processes after it's
received a shutdown signal (Tom Lane)
</P
><P
> This mistake could result in shutdown taking longer than it should, or
even never completing at all without additional user action.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> Avoid corruption of internal hash tables when out of memory
(Hitoshi Harada)
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> Prevent file descriptors for dropped tables from being held open past
transaction end (Tom Lane)
</P
><P
> This should reduce problems with long-since-dropped tables continuing
to occupy disk space.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> Prevent database-wide crash and restart when a new child process is
unable to create a pipe for its latch (Tom Lane)
</P
><P
> Although the new process must fail, there is no good reason to force a
database-wide restart, so avoid that. This improves robustness when
the kernel is nearly out of file descriptors.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> Fix planning of non-strict equivalence clauses above outer joins
(Tom Lane)
</P
><P
> The planner could derive incorrect constraints from a clause equating
a non-strict construct to something else, for example
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>WHERE COALESCE(foo, 0) = 0</TT
>
when <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>foo</TT
> is coming from the nullable side of an outer join.
</P

> Fix <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SELECT DISTINCT</TT
> with index-optimized
<CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>MIN</CODE
>/<CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>MAX</CODE
> on an inheritance tree (Tom Lane)
</P
><P
> The planner would fail with <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"failed to re-find MinMaxAggInfo
record"</SPAN
> given this combination of factors.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> Improve planner's ability to prove exclusion constraints from
equivalence classes (Tom Lane)
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> Fix partial-row matching in hashed subplans to handle cross-type cases
correctly (Tom Lane)
</P
><P
> This affects multicolumn <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>NOT IN</TT
> subplans, such as
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>WHERE (a, b) NOT IN (SELECT x, y FROM ...)</TT
>
when for instance <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>b</TT
> and <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>y</TT
> are <TT
CLASS="TYPE"
>int4</TT
>
and <TT
CLASS="TYPE"
>int8</TT
> respectively. This mistake led to wrong answers
or crashes depending on the specific datatypes involved.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
> Acquire buffer lock when re-fetching the old tuple for an
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>AFTER ROW UPDATE/DELETE</TT
> trigger (Andres Freund)
</P
><P
> In very unusual circumstances, this oversight could result in passing
incorrect data to a trigger <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>WHEN</TT
> condition, or to the
precheck logic for a foreign-key enforcement trigger. That could
result in a crash, or in an incorrect decision about whether to
fire the trigger.

></LI

><P
> Fix <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>ALTER COLUMN TYPE</TT
> to handle inherited check
constraints properly (Pavan Deolasee)

in 8.4 and later.

remove such entries when converting a table to a view. That's fixed
properly for 9.3 and later, but in previous branches we need to defend
against existing mis-converted views.

output mode produced files that are not fully conformant with the
POSIX standard. This has been corrected for version 9.3. This
patch updates previous branches so that they will accept both the
incorrect and the corrected formats, in hopes of avoiding
compatibility problems when 9.3 comes out.
