correctly set. As result, killtuple() marks as dead
wrong tuple on page. Bug was introduced by me while fixing
possible duplicates during GiST index scan.

at once and ItemPointers are collected in memory.
Remove tuple's killing by killtuple() if tuple was moved to another
page - it could produce unaceptable overhead.
Backpatch up to 8.1 because the bug was introduced by GiST's concurrency support.

<craig@postnewspapers.com.au>.
It was my mistake, I missed limitation of number of held locks, now GIN doesn't
use continiuous locks, but still hold buffers pinned to prevent interference
with vacuum's deletion algorithm.

corrupted. (Neither is very important if SIGTERM is used to shut down the
whole database cluster together, but there's a problem if someone tries to
SIGTERM individual backends.) To do this, introduce new infrastructure
macros PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP/PG_END_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP that take care
of transiently pushing an on_shmem_exit cleanup hook. Also use this method
for createdb cleanup --- that wasn't a shared-memory-corruption problem,
but SIGTERM abort of createdb could leave orphaned files lying around.
Backpatch as far as 8.2. The shmem corruption cases don't exist in 8.1,
and the createdb usage doesn't seem important enough to risk backpatching
further.

currently support this because we must be able to build Vars referencing
join columns, and varattno is only 16 bits wide. Perhaps this should be
improved in future, but considering that it never came up before, I'm not
sure the problem is worth much effort. Per bug #4070 from Marcello
Ceschia.
The problem seems largely academic in 8.0 and 7.4, because they have
(different) O(N^2) performance issues with such wide joins, but
back-patch all the way anyway.

temporary table; we can't support that because there's no way to clean up the
source backend's internal state if the eventual COMMIT PREPARED is done by
another backend. This was checked correctly in 8.1 but I broke it in 8.2 :-(.

Else, in a 64-bit machine with maintenance_work_mem set to above 4Gb,
the counter overflows and we never recognize having reached the
maintenance_work_mem limit. I believe this explains out-of-memory
failure recently reported by Sean Davis.
This is a bug, so backpatch to 8.2.

a well-randomized batch number even when given a poorly-randomized hash value.
This is a bit inefficient but seems the only practical solution given the
constraint that we can't change the hash functions in released branches.
Per report from Joseph Shraibman.
Applied to 8.1 and 8.2 only --- HEAD is getting a cleaner fix, and 8.0 and
before use different coding that seems less vulnerable.

failed (due to lock conflicts or out-of-space). We might have already
extended the index's filesystem EOF before failing, causing the EOF to be
beyond what the metapage says is the last used page. Hence the invariant
maintained by the code needs to be "EOF is at or beyond last used page",
not "EOF is exactly the last used page". Problem was created by my patch
of 2006-11-19 that attempted to repair bug #2737. Since that was
back-patched to 7.4, this needs to be as well. Per report and test case
from Vlastimil Krejcir.

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.)

cases where we already hold the desired lock "indirectly", either via
membership in a MultiXact or because the lock was originally taken by a
different subtransaction of the current transaction. These cases must be
accounted for to avoid needless deadlocks and/or inappropriate replacement of
an exclusive lock with a shared lock. Per report from Clarence Gardner and
subsequent investigation.

in PITR scenarios. We now WAL-log the replacement of old XIDs with
FrozenTransactionId, so that such replacement is guaranteed to propagate to
PITR slave databases. Also, rather than relying on hint-bit updates to be
preserved, pg_clog is not truncated until all instances of an XID are known to
have been replaced by FrozenTransactionId. Add new GUC variables and
pg_autovacuum columns to allow management of the freezing policy, so that
users can trade off the size of pg_clog against the amount of freezing work
done. Revise the already-existing code that forces autovacuum of tables
approaching the wraparound point to make it more bulletproof; also, revise the
autovacuum logic so that anti-wraparound vacuuming is done per-table rather
than per-database. initdb forced because of changes in pg_class, pg_database,
and pg_autovacuum catalogs. Heikki Linnakangas, Simon Riggs, and Tom Lane.

deletion code to avoid the case where an upper-level btree page remains "half
dead" for a significant period of time, and to block insertions into a key
range that is in process of being re-assigned to the right sibling of the
deleted page's parent. This prevents the scenario reported by Ed L. wherein
index keys could become out-of-order in the grandparent index level.
Since this is a moderately invasive fix, I'm applying it only to HEAD.
The bug exists back to 7.4, but the back branches will get a different patch.

and in particular offers a much cleaner workaround for the Intel compiler
bug that was affecting ginutil.c.

we probably should make them work reliably for all arrays. Fix code
to handle NULLs and multidimensional arrays, move it into arrayfuncs.c.
GIN is still restricted to indexing arrays with no null elements, however.

agreed these symbols are less easily confused. I made new pg_operator
entries (with new OIDs) for the old names, so as to provide backward
compatibility while making it pretty easy to remove the old names in
some future release cycle. This commit only touches the core datatypes,
contrib will be fixed separately.

on the same index page; we can avoid data copying as well as buffer refcount
manipulations in this common case. Makes for a small but noticeable
improvement in mergejoin speed.

of the transaction ID counter. Nothing is done with the epoch except to
store it in checkpoint records, but this provides a foundation with which
add-on code can pretend that XIDs never wrap around. This is a severely
trimmed and rewritten version of the xxid patch submitted by Marko Kreen.
Per discussion, the epoch counter seems the only part of xxid that really
needs to be in the core server.

used to exist in VACUUM and CLUSTER. Did some minor code-beautification
work in the same area, too.

than N seconds apart. This allows a simple, if not very high performance,
means of guaranteeing that a PITR archive is no more than N seconds behind
real time. Also make pg_current_xlog_location return the WAL Write pointer,
add pg_current_xlog_insert_location to return the Insert pointer, and fix
pg_xlogfile_name_offset to return its results as a two-element record instead
of a smashed-together string, as per recent discussion.

operation every so often. This improves the usefulness of PITR log
shipping for hot standby: formerly, if the standby server crashed, it
was necessary to restart it from the last base backup and replay all
the WAL since then. Now it will only need to reread about the same
amount of WAL as the master server would. The behavior might also
come in handy during a long PITR replay sequence. Simon Riggs,
with some editorialization by Tom Lane.

to happen automatically during pg_stop_backup(). Add some functions for
interrogating the current xlog insertion point and for easily extracting
WAL filenames from the hex WAL locations displayed by pg_stop_backup
and friends. Simon Riggs with some editorialization by Tom Lane.

(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.

When we are about to split an index page to do an insertion, first look
to see if any entries marked LP_DELETE exist on the page, and if so remove
them to try to make enough space for the desired insert. This should reduce
index bloat in heavily-updated tables, although of course you still need
VACUUM eventually to clean up the heap.

Strip unused include files out unused include files, and add needed

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.

* new split algorithm (as proposed in http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-06/msg00254.php)
* possible call pickSplit() for second and below columns
* add spl_(l|r)datum_exists to GIST_SPLITVEC -
pickSplit should check its values to use already defined
spl_(l|r)datum for splitting. pickSplit should set
spl_(l|r)datum_exists to 'false' (if they was 'true') to
signal to caller about using spl_(l|r)datum.
* support for old pickSplit(): not very optimal
but correct split
* remove 'bytes' field from GISTENTRY: in any case size of
value is defined by it's type.
* split GIST_SPLITVEC to two structures: one for using in picksplit
and second - for internal use.
* some code refactoring
* support of subsplit to rtree opclasses

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.

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.

If user picksplit on n-th column generate equals
left and right unions then it calls picksplit on n+1-th
column.

TODO: improve XLOG replay

(relpages/reltuples). To do this, create formal support in heapam.c for
"overwrite" tuple updates (including xlog replay capability) and use that
instead of the ad-hoc overwrites we'd been using in VACUUM and CREATE INDEX.
Take the responsibility for updating stats during CREATE INDEX out of the
individual index AMs, and do it where it belongs, in catalog/index.c. Aside
from being more modular, this avoids having to update the same tuple twice in
some paths through CREATE INDEX. It's probably not measurably faster, but
for sure it's a lot cleaner than before.

into a single mostly-physical-order scan of the index. This requires some
ticklish interlocking considerations, but should create no material
performance impact on normal index operations (at least given the
already-committed changes to make scans work a page at a time). VACUUM
itself should get significantly faster in any index that's degenerated to a
very nonlinear page order. Also, we save one pass over the index entirely,
except in the case where there were no deletions to do and so only one pass
happened anyway.

btgettuple and btgetmulti). This eliminates the problem of "re-finding" the
exact stopping point, since the stopping point is effectively always a page
boundary, and index items are never moved across pre-existing page boundaries.
A small penalty is that the keys_are_unique optimization is effectively
disabled (and, therefore, is removed in this patch), causing us to apply
_bt_checkkeys() to at least one more tuple than necessary when looking up a
unique key. However, the advantages for non-unique cases seem great enough to
accept this tradeoff. Aside from simplifying and (sometimes) speeding up the
indexscan code, this will allow us to reimplement btbulkdelete as a largely
sequential scan instead of index-order traversal, thereby significantly
reducing the cost of VACUUM. Those changes will come in a separate patch.

This formulation requires every AM to provide amvacuumcleanup, unlike before,
but it's surely a whole lot cleaner. Also, add an 'amstorage' column to
pg_am so that we can get rid of hardwired knowledge in DefineOpClass().
