< * Experiment with multi-threaded backend better resource utilization < < This would allow a single query to make use of multiple CPU's or < multiple I/O channels simultaneously. One idea is to create a < background reader that can pre-fetch sequential and index scan < pages needed by other backends. This could be expanded to allow < concurrent reads from multiple devices in a partitioned table. < > * Experiment with multi-threaded backend better resource utilization > > This would allow a single query to make use of multiple CPU's or > multiple I/O channels simultaneously.

2007-12-12This item was fixed in a different way, so has been removed:Bruce Momjian
< < * Allow free-behind capability for large sequential scans to avoid < kernel cache spoiling < < Posix_fadvise() can control both sequential/random file caching and < free-behind behavior, but it is unclear how the setting affects other < backends that also have the file open, and the feature is not supported < on all operating systems.

2007-12-11Make CSV column ordering a bit more logical.Alvaro Herrera
2007-12-11Make documentation of -W options more accurate and uniform.Tom Lane
2007-12-11Remove the long-deprecated -u option from psql, since it does nothing veryTom Lane
useful and confuses people who think it is the same as -U. (Eventually we might want to re-introduce it as being an alias for -U, but that should not happen until the switch has actually not been there for a few releases.) Likewise in pg_dump and pg_restore. Per gripe from Robert Treat and subsequent discussion.
2007-12-11Typo pointed out by Erwin Brandstetter. Remove the whole makes it evenMagnus Hagander
better, per JD.
2007-12-11Extend the format of CSV logs to include the additional information suppliedAlvaro Herrera
with the logged event. CSV logs are now a first-class citizen along plain text logs in that they carry much of the same information. Per complaint from depesz on bug #3799.
2007-12-11Remove the -P options of oid2name and pgbench, as they are securityTom Lane
hazards. Instead teach these programs to prompt for a password when necessary, just like all our other programs. I did not bother to invent -W switches for them, since the return on investment seems so low.
