* Change the notation for calling functions with named parameters fromTom Lane2010-05-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | "val AS name" to "name := val", as per recent discussion. This patch catches everything in the original named-parameters patch, but I'm not certain that no other dependencies snuck in later (grepping the source tree for all uses of AS soon proved unworkable). In passing I note that we've dropped the ball at least once on keeping ecpg's lexer (as opposed to parser) in sync with the backend. It would be a good idea to go through all of pgc.l and see if it's in sync now. I didn't attempt that at the moment.

* Make it more clear that you need to release savepoint withHeikki Linnakangas2010-05-27
| | | | | | | RELEASE SAVEPOINT to make an older savepoint with the same name accessible. It's also possible to implicitly release the savepoint by rolling back to an earlier savepoint, but mentioning that too would make the note just more verbose and confusing.

* Move pg_notify() details to a subsection within the NOTIFY reference page.Robert Haas2010-05-18
| | | | | | | This allows the index to reference the pg_notify() subsection specifically, rather than Notes section of the NOTIFY reference page more generally. Fujii Masao

* Insert line breaks in two places in SQL functions documentation.Robert Haas2010-05-16
| | | | | | | | | | This avoids a formatting problem in the PDF output. In the HTML output this isn't necessary, but we've done similar things elsewhere in the documentation so I think it's OK to do it here, too. I've refrained from breaking a longish error message which also causes problems for the PDF output, because that would make the HTML output look wrong. Erik Rijkers

* Remove all mentions of EnterpriseDB Advanced Server from pg_upgrade;Bruce Momjian2010-05-13

* Update release notes with security issues.Tom Lane2010-05-13
| | | | Security: CVE-2010-1169, CVE-2010-1170
* Use an entity instead of non-ASCII letter. Thom BrownTom Lane2010-05-13
|
* Use "TOAST table" in place of the vague, not-used-elsewhere phraseTom Lane2010-05-13
| | | | "supplementary storage table".
* Prevent PL/Tcl from loading the "unknown" module from pltcl_modules unlessTom Lane2010-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | that is a regular table or view owned by a superuser. This prevents a trojan horse attack whereby any unprivileged SQL user could create such a table and insert code into it that would then get executed in other users' sessions whenever they call pltcl functions. Worse yet, because the code was automatically loaded into both the "normal" and "safe" interpreters at first use, the attacker could execute unrestricted Tcl code in the "normal" interpreter without there being any pltclu functions anywhere, or indeed anyone else using pltcl at all: installing pltcl is sufficient to open the hole. Change the initialization logic so that the "unknown" code is only loaded into an interpreter when the interpreter is first really used. (That doesn't add any additional security in this particular context, but it seems a prudent change, and anyway the former behavior violated the principle of least astonishment.) Security: CVE-2010-1170
* Abandon the use of Perl's Safe.pm to enforce restrictions in plperl, as it isAndrew Dunstan2010-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fundamentally insecure. Instead apply an opmask to the whole interpreter that imposes restrictions on unsafe operations. These restrictions are much harder to subvert than is Safe.pm, since there is no container to be broken out of. Backported to release 7.4. In releases 7.4, 8.0 and 8.1 this also includes the necessary backporting of the two interpreters model for plperl and plperlu adopted in release 8.2. In versions 8.0 and up, the use of Perl's POSIX module to undo its locale mangling on Windows has become insecure with these changes, so it is replaced by our own routine, which is also faster. Nice side effects of the changes include that it is now possible to use perl's "strict" pragma in a natural way in plperl, and that perl's $a and $b variables now work as expected in sort routines, and that function compilation is significantly faster. Tim Bunce and Andrew Dunstan, with reviews from Alex Hunsaker and Alexey Klyukin. Security: CVE-2010-1169
