(SFRM_Materialize mode) to return tuples. Since we don't return from the
dblink function in tuplestore mode, release the PGresult with a PG_CATCH
block on error. Also rearrange to share the same code to materialize the
tuplestore. Patch by Takahiro Itagaki.
PL/pgSQL function within an exception handler. Make sure we use the right
resource owner when we create the tuplestore to hold returned tuples.
Simplify tuplestore API so that the caller doesn't need to be in the right
memory context when calling tuplestore_put* functions. tuplestore.c
automatically switches to the memory context used when the tuplestore was
created. Tuplesort was already modified like this earlier. This patch also
removes the now useless MemoryContextSwitch calls from callers.

the previous patch that broke this.
in the formerly-always-blank columns just to left and right of the data.
Different marking is used for a line break caused by a newline in the data
than for a straight wraparound. A newline break is signaled by a "+" in the
right margin column in ASCII mode, or a carriage return arrow in UNICODE mode.
Wraparound is signaled by a dot in the right margin as well as the following
left margin in ASCII mode, or an ellipsis symbol in the same places in UNICODE
mode. "\pset linestyle old-ascii" is added to make the previous behavior
available if anyone really wants it.
In passing, this commit also cleans up a few regression test files that
had unintended spacing differences from the current actual output.

create an ABI break between 8.3 and 8.4. It is still just a wrapper around
the built-in current_query() function, but at a different implementation
level. Per my proposal.
Note: this change doesn't break 8.4beta installations, since their
SQL-language definition of the function still works fine.

conninfo string *before* trying to connect to the remote server, not after.
As pointed out by Marko Kreen, in certain not-very-plausible situations
this could result in sending a password from the postgres user's .pgpass file,
or other places that non-superusers shouldn't have access to, to an
untrustworthy remote server. The cleanest fix seems to be to expose libpq's
conninfo-string-parsing code so that dblink can check for a password option
without duplicating the parsing logic.

data. This makes for a significant speedup at the cost that the results
now vary between little-endian and big-endian machines; which forces us
to add explicit ORDER BYs in a couple of regression tests to preserve
machine-independent comparison results. Also, force initdb by bumping
catversion, since the contents of hash indexes will change (at least on
big-endian machines).

does not adopt Bob's new faster mix() algorithm, however, since we still need
to convince ourselves that that doesn't degrade the quality of the hashing.
strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text,
cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and
two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of
existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed.
Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one
function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used
to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin,
and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via
memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though).
This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory
leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach
text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few
places where it was easy, but much more could be done.

This commit breaks any code that assumes that the mere act of forming a tuple
(without writing it to disk) does not "toast" any fields. While all available
regression tests pass, I'm not totally sure that we've fixed every nook and
cranny, especially in contrib.
