thereby saving a visit to the metapage in most index searches/updates.
This wouldn't actually save any I/O (since in the old regime the metapage
generally stayed in cache anyway), but it does provide a useful decrease
in bufmgr traffic in high-contention scenarios. Per my recent proposal.
implied by the predicate of a partial index being used to scan a table.
However, this optimization is unsafe in an UPDATE, DELETE, or SELECT FOR
UPDATE query, because the quals need to be rechecked by EvalPlanQual if
there's an update conflict. Per example from Jean-Samuel Reynaud.

Also update statement_timeout() to mention it is statement arrival time

Catalog version updated.
o Support ISO INTERVAL syntax if units cannot be determined from
the string, and are supplied after the string
The SQL standard states that the units after the string specify
the units of the string, e.g. INTERVAL '2' MINUTE should
return '00:02:00'. The current behavior has the units
restrict the interval value to the specified unit or unit range,
INTERVAL '70' SECOND returns '00:00:10'.
For syntax that isn't uniquely ISO or PG syntax, like '1' or
'1:30', treat as ISO if there is a range specification clause,
and as PG if there no clause is present, e.g. interpret
'1:30' MINUTE TO SECOND as '1 minute 30 seconds', and
interpret '1:30' as '1 hour, 30 minutes'.
This makes common cases like SELECT INTERVAL '1' MONTH
SQL-standard results. The SQL standard supports a limited
number of unit combinations and doesn't support unit names
in the string. The PostgreSQL syntax is more flexible in
the range of units supported, e.g. PostgreSQL supports
'1 year 1 hour', while the SQL standard does not.

so the changes are still documented, just not in the main docs.
not named ones, and replace linear searches of the list with array indexing.
The named-parameter support has been dead code for many years anyway,
and recent profiling suggests that the searching was costing a noticeable
amount of performance for complex queries.

block waiting for an LWLock, on a per-process basis. After having needed
this twice in the past few months, seems like it should go into CVS.
of rejecting palloc(0). Also, tweak like_selectivity() to avoid assuming
the presented pattern is nonempty; although that assumption is valid,
it doesn't really help much, and the new coding is more correct anyway
since it properly handles redundant wildcards. In combination these
changes should eliminate a Coverity warning noted by Martijn.
whenever we start to read within that file. The first page carries
extra identification information that really ought to be checked, but
as the code stood, this was only checked when we switched sequentially
into a new WAL file, or if by chance the starting checkpoint record was
within the first page. This patch ensures that we will detect bogus
'long header' information before we start replaying the WAL sequence.

all, but darn if there aren't 64-bit variant libraries in OS X as well
as support in their gcc.
