Per recent discussion, this seems to be making the stats less accurate
rather than more so, particularly on Windows where PID values may be
reused very quickly. Patch by Peter Brant.

Put the text files in the right place during make dist, so there are no
extra manual steps required anymore.
that apply the necessary domain constraint checks immediately. This fixes
cases where domain constraints went unchecked for statement parameters,
PL function local variables and results, etc. We can also eliminate existing
special cases for domains in places that had gotten it right, eg COPY.
Also, allow domains over domains (base of a domain is another domain type).
This almost worked before, but was disallowed because the original patch
hadn't gotten it quite right.

for likely values of BLCKSZ, but it makes the intent clearer.

functions are not strict, they will be called (passing a NULL first parameter)
during any attempt to input a NULL value of their datatype. Currently, all
our input functions are strict and so this commit does not change any
behavior. However, this will make it possible to build domain input functions
that centralize checking of domain constraints, thereby closing numerous holes
in our domain support, as per previous discussion.
While at it, I took the opportunity to introduce convenience functions
InputFunctionCall, OutputFunctionCall, etc to use in code that calls I/O
functions. This eliminates a lot of grotty-looking casts, but the main
motivation is to make it easier to grep for these places if we ever need
to touch them again.
used within WAL files. Historically this was the same as the data file
BLCKSZ, but there's no necessary connection, and it's possible that
performance gains might ensue from reducing XLOG_BLCKSZ. In any case
distinguishing two symbols should improve code clarity. This commit
does not actually change the page size, only provide the infrastructure
to make it possible to do so. initdb forced because of addition of a
field to pg_control.

to fix regressions introduced in the recent patch adding additional
\connect options. This is based on work by Volkan YAZICI, although
this version of the patch doesn't bear much resemblance to Volkan's
version.
\connect takes 4 optional arguments: database name, user name, host
name, and port number. If any of those parameters are omitted or
specified as "-", the value of that parameter from the previous
connection is used instead; if there is no previous connection,
the libpq default is used. Note that this behavior makes it
impossible to reuse the libpq defaults without quitting psql and
restarting it; I don't really see the use case for needing to do
that.
whitespace issues nearby.
DROP OWNED BY is actually a bit kludgy, but it seems better to do it this way
rather than duplicating the words_after_create list just to add a single
element.
incrementally by successive inserts rather than by sorting the data.
We were only using the slow path during bootstrap, apparently because
when first written it failed during bootstrap --- but it works fine now
AFAICT. Removing it saves a hundred or so lines of code and produces
noticeably (~10%) smaller initial states of the system catalog indexes.
While that won't make much difference for heavily-modified catalogs,
for the more static ones there may be a useful long-term performance
improvement.
misleadingly-named WriteBuffer routine, and instead require routines that
change buffer pages to call MarkBufferDirty (which does exactly what it says).
We also require that they do so before calling XLogInsert; this takes care of
the synchronization requirement documented in SyncOneBuffer. Note that
because bufmgr takes the buffer content lock (in shared mode) while writing
out any buffer, it doesn't matter whether MarkBufferDirty is executed before
the buffer content change is complete, so long as the content change is
completed before releasing exclusive lock on the buffer. So it's OK to set
the dirtybit before we fill in the LSN.
This eliminates the former kluge of needing to set the dirtybit in LockBuffer.
Aside from making the code more transparent, we can also add some new
debugging assertions, in particular that the caller of MarkBufferDirty must
hold the buffer content lock, not merely a pin.
torn-page problems. This introduces some issues of its own, mainly
that there are now some critical sections of unreasonably broad scope,
but it's a step forward anyway. Further cleanup will require some
code refactoring that I'd prefer to get Oleg and Teodor involved in.
startup or recovery process. Since such a process isn't a real backend,
pgstat.c gets confused. This accounts for recent reports of strange
"invalid server process ID -1" log messages during crash recovery.
There isn't any point in attempting to make the report, since we'll discard
stats in such scenarios anyhow.
This commit doesn't make much functional change, but it does eliminate some
duplicated code --- for instance, PageIsNew tests are now done inside
XLogReadBuffer rather than by each caller.
The GIST xlog code still needs a lot of love, but I'll worry about that
separately.

useful during normal operation on such a platform, it's still needed to

of a problem report from Alex Bahdushka.
For the moment I've just diked out the test of the parameter, rather than
removing the GUC infrastructure and documentation, in case we conclude that
there's something salvageable there. There seems no chance of it being
resurrected in the 8.1 branch though.
passed extend = true whenever we are reading a page we intend to reinitialize
completely, even if we think the page "should exist". This is because it
might indeed not exist, if the relation got truncated sometime after the
current xlog record was made and before the crash we're trying to recover
from. These two thinkos appear to explain both of the old bug reports
discussed here:

tuples as needed "to keep VACUUM from complaining", but actually there is
a more compelling reason to do it: failure to do so violates MVCC semantics.
This is because a pre-existing serializable transaction might try to use
the index after we finish (re)building it, and it might fail to find tuples
it should be able to see. We got this mostly right, but not in the case
of partial indexes: the code mistakenly discarded recently-dead tuples for
partial indexes. Fix that, and adjust the comments.
when an error occurs during xlog replay. Also, replace the former risky
'write into a fixed-size buffer with no overflow detection' API for XLOG
record description routines; use an expansible StringInfo instead. (The
latter accounts for most of the patch bulk.)

command or expression, rather than one copy for each textual occurrence as
it did before. This might result in some small performance improvement,
but the compelling reason to do it is that not doing so can result in
unexpected grouping failures because the main SQL parser won't see different
parameter numbers as equivalent. Add a regression test for the failure case.
Per report from Robert Davidson.
the logic it contained to switch to insertion sort for near-sorted input was
in fact a big loss, because it could fairly easily be fooled into applying
insertion sort to large subfiles that weren't all that well ordered. Remove
that, and instead add a simple check for already-perfectly-sorted input, as
per suggestion from Dann Corbit. This adds at worst O(N*lgN) overhead, and
usually far less, while sometimes allowing a subfile sort to finish in O(N)
time. Preliminary testing says this is an improvement over the basic
Bentley & McIlroy code for many nonrandom inputs, and it costs almost
nothing when the input is random.

This patch uses htons() instead of htonl() and fixes this bug.

2005-05-13. When we find that a new inner tuple can't possibly match any
outer tuple (because it contains a NULL), we can't immediately skip the
tuple when we are in NEXTINNER state. Doing so can lead to emitting
multiple copies of the tuple in FillInner mode, because we may rescan the
tuple after returning to a previous marked tuple. Instead, proceed to
NEXTOUTER state the same as we used to do. After we've found that there's
no need to return to the marked position, we can go to SKIPINNER_ADVANCE
state instead of SKIP_TEST when the inner tuple is unmatchable; this
preserves the performance improvement. Per bug report from Bruce.
I also made a couple of cosmetic code rearrangements and added a regression
test for the problem.
