is assumed to be in local time, not GMT. This improves consistency with
other operations, which all assume local timezone when it matters. Per
bug #897.
recursion in RewriteQuery(); also, detect recursion in fireRIRrules(),
so as to catch self-referential views per example from Ryan VanderBijl.
Minor code restructuring to make it easier to catch recursive case.
end of a btree index. This isn't super-effective, since we won't move
nondeletable pages, but it's better than nothing. Also, improve stats
displayed during VACUUM VERBOSE.
deleting multiple index entries on a single index page. This makes for
a very substantial reduction in the amount of WAL traffic during a
large delete operation.
service it until after we execute SetThisStartUpID(). Else shutdown
process will write the wrong SUI into the shutdown checkpoint, which
seems likely to be trouble --- although I've not quite figured out
how significant it really is.
setting timezone-related variables during transaction start. They were
not used anyway in platforms that HAVE_TM_ZONE or HAVE_INT_TIMEZONE,
which it appears is *all* the platforms we are currently supporting.
For platforms that have neither, we now only support UTC or numeric-
offset-from-UTC timezones.
now knows what to do upon hitting a dead page (in theory anyway, it's
untested...). Add a post-VACUUM-cleanup entry point for index AMs, to
provide a place for dead-page scavenging to happen.
Also, fix oversight that broke btpo_prev links in temporary indexes.
initdb forced due to additions in pg_am.
support btree compaction, as per proposal of a few days ago. btree index
pages no longer store parent links, instead they have a level indicator
(counting up from zero for leaf pages). The FixBTree recovery logic is
removed, and replaced by code that detects missing parent-level insertions
during WAL replay. Also, generate appropriate WAL entries when updating
btree metapage and when building a btree index from scratch. I believe
btree indexes are now completely WAL-legal for the first time.
initdb forced due to index and WAL changes.
answer when SET TIMEZONE has been done since the start of the current
transaction. Per bug report from Robert Haas.
I plan some futher cleanup in HEAD, but this is a low-risk patch for
the immediate issue in 7.3.

- more work from the SGML police
- some grammar improvements: rewriting a paragraph or two, replacing
contractions where (IMHO) appropriate
- fix missing utility commands in lock mode docs
- improve CLUSTER, REINDEX, SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION ref pages

implementation
of '\e' history tracking for systems that have a readline compatability
library without replace_history_entry. I fall back to pushing the query
onto the history stack after the \e, rather than replacing it.
The patch adds one more place to look for readline headers, and a test
for replace_history_entry. I've only included the patch for configure.in

RelOid_pg_class, and transaction locks XactLockTableId. RelId is renamed
to objId.
- LockObject() and UnlockObject() functions created, and their use
sprinkled throughout the code to do descent locking for domains and
types. They accept lock modes AccessShare and AccessExclusive, as we
only really need a 'read' and 'write' lock at the moment. Most locking
cases are held until the end of the transaction.
This fixes the cases Tom mentioned earlier in regards to locking with
Domains. If the patch is good, I'll work on cleaning up issues with
other database objects that have this problem (most of them).

7.3.2). It removes some code duplication and #ifdeffing, and some
unstructured ugliness such as tacky breaks and an unneeded continue.
Breaks up a large function into smaller functions and reduces required
nesting levels, and kills a variable or two.

functions which limited the maximum date for a timestamp to AD 1465001.
The new limit is AD 5874897.
The files affected are:
doc/src/sgml/datatype.sgml:
Documentation change due to patch. Included is a notice about
the reduced range when using an eight-byte integer for timestamps.
src/backend/utils/adt/datetime.c:
Replacement functions for j2date() and date2j() functions.
src/include/utils/datetime.h:
Corrected a bug with the limit on the earliest possible date,
Nov 23,-4713 has a Julian day count of -1. The earliest possible
date should be Nov 24, -4713 with a day count of 0.

src/test/regress/expected/horology-solaris-1947.out:
src/test/regress/expected/horology.out:
Copies of expected output for regression testing.
Note: Only horology.out has been physically tested. I do not have access
to a Solaris box and I don't know how to provoke the "pre-1970" test.
src/test/regress/sql/horology.sql:
Added some test cases to check extended range.

known problem with failure to respond to 'pg_ctl stop -m fast', and
probable problems if SIGINT or SIGTERM arrives while processing a
SIGUSR2 interrupt that arrived while waiting for a new client query.
in the case where the node immediately above the scan is a Hash, Sort,
or Material node. In these cases it's better to do the projection
so that we don't store unneeded columns in the hash/sort/materialize
table. Per discussion a few days ago with Anagh Lal.
the outer query. (The implementation is a bit klugy, but it would take
nontrivial restructuring to make it nicer, which this is probably not
worth.) This avoids unnecessary sort steps in examples like
SELECT foo,count(*) FROM (SELECT ... ORDER BY foo,bar) sub GROUP BY foo
which means there is now a reasonable technique for controlling the
order of inputs to custom aggregates, even in the grouping case.
