Adding more than 1 billion rows to a PGresult would overflow its ntups and tupArrSize fields, leading to client crashes. It'd be desirable to use wider fields on 64-bit machines, but because all of libpq's external APIs use plain "int" for row counters, that's going to be hard to accomplish without an ABI break. Given the lack of complaints so far, and the general pain that would be involved in using such huge PGresults, let's settle for just preventing the overflow and reporting a useful error message if it does happen. Also, for a couple more lines of code we can increase the threshold of trouble from INT_MAX/2 to INT_MAX rows. To do that, refactor pqAddTuple() to allow returning an error message that replaces the default assumption that it failed because of out-of-memory. Along the way, fix PQsetvalue() so that it reports all failures via pqInternalNotice(). It already did so in the case of bad field number, but neglected to report anything for other error causes. Because of the potential for crashes, this seems like a back-patchable bug fix, despite the lack of field reports. Michael Paquier, per a complaint from Igor Korot.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
