that's shorter-lived than the expression state being evaluated in it really
doesn't work :-( --- we end up with fn_extra caches getting deleted while
still in use. Rather than abandon the notion of caching expression state
across domain_in calls altogether, I chose to make domain_in a bit cozier
with ExprContext. All we really need for evaluating variable-free
expressions is an ExprContext, not an EState, so I invented the notion of a
"standalone" ExprContext. domain_in can prevent resource leakages by doing
a ReScanExprContext on this rather than having to free it entirely; so we
can make the ExprContext have the same lifespan (and particularly the same
per_query memory context) as the expression state structs.

'mod' and 'all', which is not the right order. SGML documentation order
was correct. Report from Chander Ganesan.

(e.g. "INSERT ... VALUES (...), (...), ...") and elsewhere as allowed
by the spec. (e.g. similar to a FROM clause subselect). initdb required.

(table or index) before trying to open its relcache entry. This fixes
race conditions in which someone else commits a change to the relation's
catalog entries while we are in process of doing relcache load. Problems
of that ilk have been reported sporadically for years, but it was not
really practical to fix until recently --- for instance, the recent
addition of WAL-log support for in-place updates helped.
Along the way, remove pg_am.amconcurrent: all AMs are now expected to support
concurrent update.

it's handled just about like timezone; in particular, don't try
to read anything during InitializeGUCOptions. Should solve current
startup failure on Windows, and avoid wasted cycles if a nondefault
setting is specified in postgresql.conf too. Possibly we need to
think about a more general solution for handling 'expensive to set'
GUC options.

the float8 versions of the aggregates, which is all that the standard requires.
Sergey's original patch also provided versions using numeric arithmetic,
but given the size and slowness of the code, I doubt we ought to include
those in core.

the opportunity to treat COUNT(*) as a zero-argument aggregate instead
of the old hack that equated it to COUNT(1); this is materially cleaner
(no more weird ANYOID cases) and ought to be at least a tiny bit faster.
Original patch by Sergey Koposov; review, documentation, simple regression
tests, pg_dump and psql support by moi.

like an empty string value if the string being pointed to has not been
initialized.

configuration files that can be altered by a DBA. The australian_timezones
GUC setting disappears, replaced by a timezone_abbreviations setting (set this
to 'Australia' to get the effect of australian_timezones). The list of zone
names defined by default has undergone a bit of cleanup, too. Documentation
still needs some work --- in particular, should we fix Table B-4, or just get
rid of it? Joachim Wieland, with some editorializing by moi.

thinking that indexes of different sizes are equally attractive. Per
gripe from Jim Nasby. (I remain unconvinced that there's such a problem
in existing releases, but CVS HEAD definitely has got a problem because
of its new count-only-leaf-pages approach to indexscan costing.)

This partially undoes my patch of last December.

cleanups in the dynahash API, such as not exporting the hash header
structs to the world.

opclass. This is not so much because anyone's likely to create an index
on TID, as that sorting TIDs can be useful. Also added max and min
aggregates while at it, so that one can investigate the clusteredness of
a table with queries like SELECT min(ctid), max(ctid) FROM tab WHERE ...

This doesn't really matter for ordinary building of Postgres, but it's
useful for automated checks, such as my just-committed pgcheckdefines.

Strip unused include files out unused include files, and add needed
includes to C files.
The next step is to remove unused include files in C files.

To this end, add a couple of columns to pg_class, relminxid and relvacuumxid,
based on which we calculate the pg_database columns after each vacuum.
We now force all databases to be vacuumed, even template ones. A backend
noticing too old a database (meaning pg_database.datminxid is in danger of
falling behind Xid wraparound) will signal the postmaster, which in turn will
start an autovacuum iteration to process the offending database. In principle
this is only there to cope with frozen (non-connectable) databases without
forcing users to set them to connectable, but it could force regular user
database to go through a database-wide vacuum at any time. Maybe we should
warn users about this somehow. Of course the real solution will be to use
autovacuum all the time ;-)
There are some additional improvements we could have in this area: for example
the vacuum code could be smarter about not updating pg_database for each table
when called by autovacuum, and do it only once the whole autovacuum iteration
is done.
I updated the system catalogs documentation, but I didn't modify the
maintenance section. Also having some regression tests for this would be nice
but it's not really a very straightforward thing to do.
Catalog version bumped due to system catalog changes.

discussion (including making def_arg allow reserved words), add missed
opt_definition for UNIQUE case. Put the reloptions support code in a less
random place (I chose to make a new file access/common/reloptions.c).
Eliminate header inclusion creep. Make the index options functions safely
user-callable (seems like client apps might like to be able to test validity
of options before trying to make an index). Reduce overhead for normal case
with no options by allowing rd_options to be NULL. Fix some unmaintainably
klugy code, including getting rid of Natts_pg_class_fixed at long last.
Some stylistic cleanup too, and pay attention to keeping comments in sync
with code.
Documentation still needs work, though I did fix the omissions in
catalogs.sgml and indexam.sgml.

ScalarArrayOpExpr index quals: we were estimating the right total
number of rows returned, but treating the index-access part of the
cost as if a single scan were fetching that many consecutive index
tuples. Actually we should treat it as a multiple indexscan, and
if there are enough of 'em the Mackert-Lohman discount should kick in.

versions very unhappy, and shouldn't be there anyway.

per-tuple space overhead for sorts in memory. I chose to replace the
previous patch that tried to write out the bare minimum amount of data
when sorting on disk; instead, just dump the MinimalTuples as-is. This
wastes 3 to 10 bytes per tuple depending on architecture and null-bitmap
length, but the simplification in the writetup/readtup routines seems
worth it.
|

tuples with less header overhead than a regular HeapTuple, per my
recent proposal. Teach TupleTableSlot code how to deal with these.
As proof of concept, change tuplestore.c to store MinimalTuples instead
of HeapTuples. Future patches will expand the concept to other places
where it is useful.

relevant location.

palloc() will normally round allocation requests up to the next power of 2,
so make dynahash choose allocation sizes that are as close to a power of 2
as possible.
Back-patch to 8.1 --- the problem exists further back, but a much larger
patch would be needed and it doesn't seem worth taking any risks.

changing semantics too much. statement_timestamp is now set immediately
upon receipt of a client command message, and the various places that used
to do their own gettimeofday() calls to mark command startup are referenced
to that instead. I have also made stats_command_string use that same
value for pg_stat_activity.query_start for both the command itself and
its eventual replacement by <IDLE> or <idle in transaction>. There was
some debate about that, but no argument that seemed convincing enough to
justify an extra gettimeofday() call.

libpq/md5.h, so that there's a clear separation between backend-only
definitions and shared frontend/backend definitions. (Turns out this
is reversing a bad decision from some years ago...) Fix up references
to crypt.h as needed. I looked into moving the code into src/port, but
the headers in src/include/libpq are sufficiently intertwined that it
seems more work than it's worth to do that.

current commands; instead, store current-status information in shared
memory. This substantially reduces the overhead of stats_command_string
and also ensures that pg_stat_activity is fully up to date at all times.
Per my recent proposal.

by creating a reference-count mechanism, similar to what we did a long time
ago for catcache entries. The back branches have an ugly solution involving
lots of extra copies, but this way is more efficient. Reference counting is
only applied to tupdescs that are actually in caches --- there seems no need
to use it for tupdescs that are generated in the executor, since they'll go
away during plan shutdown by virtue of being in the per-query memory context.

remove the infrastructure needed to enforce the limit, ie, the global
LRU list of cache entries. On small-to-middling databases this wins
because maintaining the LRU list is a waste of time. On large databases
this wins because it's better to keep more cache entries (we assume
such users can afford to use some more per-backend memory than was
contemplated in the Berkeley-era catcache design). This provides a
noticeable improvement in the speed of psql \d on a 10000-table
database, though it doesn't make it instantaneous.
While at it, use per-catcache settings for the number of hash buckets
per catcache, rather than the former one-size-fits-all value. It's a
bit silly to be using the same number of hash buckets for, eg, pg_am
and pg_attribute. The specific values I used might need some tuning,
but they seem to be in the right ballpark based on CATCACHE_STATS
results from the standard regression tests.
