14 years agoRethink the way walreceiver is linked into the backend. Instead than shoving

Rethink the way walreceiver is linked into the backend. Instead than shoving
walreceiver as whole into a dynamically loaded module, split the
libpq-specific parts of it into dynamically loaded module and keep the rest
in the main backend binary.

Although Tom fixed the Windows compilation problems with the old walreceiver
module already, this is a cleaner division of labour and makes the code
more readable. There's also the prospect of adding new transport methods
as pluggable modules in the future, which this patch makes easier, though for
now the API between libpqwalreceiver and walreceiver process should be
considered private.

The libpq-specific module is now in src/backend/replication/libpqwalreceiver,
and the part linked with postgres binary is in
src/backend/replication/walreceiver.c.

Improve the handling of SET CONSTRAINTS commands by having them search

a constraint that's inherently non-deferrable.  Per a gripe several months
ago from hubert depesz lubaczewski.

To make this work without breaking user-defined constraint triggers,
we have to add entries for them to pg_constraint.  However, in return
we can remove the pgconstrname column from pg_constraint, which represents
a fairly sizable space savings.  I also replaced the tgisconstraint column
with tgisinternal; the old meaning of tgisconstraint can now be had by
testing for nonzero tgconstraint, while there is no other way to get
the old meaning of nonzero tgconstraint, namely that the trigger was
internally generated rather than being user-created.

In passing, fix an old misstatement in the docs and comments, namely that
pg_trigger.tgdeferrable is exactly redundant with pg_constraint.condeferrable.
Actually, we mark RI action triggers as nondeferrable even when they belong to
a nominally deferrable FK constraint.  The SET CONSTRAINTS code now relies on
that instead of hard-coding a list of exception OIDs.

it took nearly two years for anyone to even notice, it seems that the
rationale for continuing to support such platforms has reached the point
of non-existence.  Rather than thrashing around to try to make it work
again, we'll just admit up front that this no longer works.

Back-patch to 8.4 since that branch is also broken.

We should go around to remove INT64_IS_BUSTED support, but just in HEAD,
so that seems like material for a separate commit.

For simplicity, use PG_MAJORVERSION rather than PG_VERSION for creation
