already collected in the current transaction; this allows plpgsql functions to
watch for stats updates even though they are confined to a single transaction.
Use this instead of the previous kluge involving pg_stat_file() to wait for
the stats collector to update in the stats regression test. Internally,
decouple storage of stats snapshots from transaction boundaries; they'll
now stick around until someone calls pgstat_clear_snapshot --- which xact.c
still does at transaction end, to maintain the previous behavior. This makes
the logic a lot cleaner, at the price of a couple dozen cycles per transaction
exit.

with the intermittent stats failures in buildfarm. After an idea of

thought that it didn't have to reposition the underlying tuplestore if the
portal is atEnd. But this is not so, because tuplestores have separate read
and write cursors ... and the read cursor hasn't moved from the start.
This mistake explains bug #2970 from William Zhang.
Note: the coding here is pretty inefficient, but given that no one has noticed
this bug until now, I'd say hardly anyone uses the case where the cursor has
been advanced before being persisted. So maybe it's not worth worrying about.

<P>USA saving time changes are included in PostgreSQL release 8.0.[4+],
and all later major releases, e.g. 8.1. Canada and Western Australia
changes are included in 8.0.[10+], 8.1.[6+], and all later major
releases. PostgreSQL releases prior to 8.0 use the operating system's
timezone database for daylight saving information.</P>

out that ExecEvalVar and friends don't necessarily have access to a tuple
descriptor with correct typmod: it definitely can contain -1, and possibly
might contain other values that are different from the Var's value.
Arguably this should be cleaned up someday, but it's not a simple change,
and in any case typmod discrepancies don't pose a security hazard.
Per reports from numerous people :-(
I'm not entirely sure whether the failure can occur in 8.0 --- the simple
test cases reported so far don't trigger it there. But back-patch the
change all the way anyway.

had stopped working for tables buried inside views or sub-selects. This is
because I had gotten rid of the simplify_jointree() preprocessing step, and
optimize_minmax_aggregates() wasn't smart enough to deal with a non-canonical
FromExpr. Per gripe from Bill Howe.

describe the maximum size of index tuples (which is typically AM-dependent
anyway); and consequently remove the bogus deduction for "special space"
that was built into it.
Adjust TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD and TOAST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE to avoid wasting two
bytes per toast chunk, and to ensure that the calculation correctly tracks any
future changes in page header size. The computation had been inaccurate in a
way that didn't cause any harm except space wastage, but future changes could
have broken it more drastically.
Fix the calculation of BTMaxItemSize, which was formerly computed as 1 byte
more than it could safely be. This didn't cause any harm in practice because
it's only compared against maxalign'd lengths, but future changes in the size
of page headers or btree special space could have exposed the problem.
initdb forced because of change in TOAST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE, which alters the
storage of toast tables.

threshold for tuple length. On 4-byte-MAXALIGN machines, the toast code
creates tuples that have t_len exactly TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD ... but this
number is not itself maxaligned, so if heap_insert maxaligns t_len before
comparing to TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD, it'll uselessly recurse back to
tuptoaster.c, wasting cycles. (It turns out that this does not happen on
8-byte-MAXALIGN machines, because for them the outer MAXALIGN in the
TOAST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE macro reduces TOAST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE so that toast tuples
will be less than TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD in size. That MAXALIGN is really
incorrect, but we can't remove it now, see below.) There isn't any particular
value in maxaligning before comparing to the thresholds, so just don't do
that, which saves a small number of cycles in itself.
These numbers should be rejiggered to minimize wasted space on toast-relation
pages, but we can't do that in the back branches because changing
TOAST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE would force an initdb (by changing the contents of toast
tables). We can move the toast decision thresholds a bit, though, which is
what this patch effectively does.
Thanks to Pavan Deolasee for discovering the unintended recursion.
Back-patch into 8.2, but not further, pending more testing. (HEAD is about
to get a further patch modifying the thresholds, so it won't help much
for testing this form of the patch.)
