depend on this rather than the trigger argument strings to locate the
other relation to test. This makes RI triggers function properly in
the presence of schemas and temp tables. Along the way, fix bogus lack
of locking in RI triggers, handle quoting of names fully correctly,

all users share a 'public' namespace, thus providing behavior backwards
compatible with 7.2 and earlier releases. Probably the semantics and

in the current code, the authentication logic (check user, check the
relation we're operating on, etc) is done in tcop/utility.c, whereas the
actual TRUNCATE command in done in TruncateRelation() in
commands/createinh.c (which is really just a wrapper over
heap_truncate() in catalog/heap.c). This patch moves the authentication
logic into TruncateRelation(), as well as making some minor code
cleanups.

per recent pghackers discussion: force a new WAL record at first nextval
after a checkpoint, and ensure that xlog is flushed to disk if a nextval
record is the only thing emitted by a transaction.
now has an RTE of its own, and references to its outputs now are Vars
referencing the JOIN RTE, rather than CASE-expressions. This allows
reverse-listing in ruleutils.c to use the correct alias easily, rather
than painfully reverse-engineering the alias namespace as it used to do.
Also, nested FULL JOINs work correctly, because the result of the inner
joins are simple Vars that the planner can cope with. This fixes a bug
reported a couple times now, notably by Tatsuo on 18-Nov-01. The alias
Vars are expanded into COALESCE expressions where needed at the very end
of planning, rather than during parsing.
Also, beginnings of support for showing plan qualifier expressions in
EXPLAIN. There are probably still cases that need work.

PostgreSQL. This hash function replaces the one used by hash indexes and
the catalog cache. Hash joins use a different, relatively poor-quality
hash function, but I'll fix that later.
As suggested by Tom Lane, this patch also changes the size of the fixed
hash table used by the catalog cache to be a power-of-2 (instead of a
prime: I chose 256 instead of 257). This allows the catcache to lookup
hash buckets using a simple bitmask. This should improve the performance
of the catalog cache slightly, since the previous method (modulo a
prime) was slow.
In my tests, this improves the performance of hash indexes by between 4%
and 8%; the performance when using btree indexes or seqscans is
basically unchanged.

- domain.patch -> source patch against pgsql in cvs
- drop_domain.sgml and create_domain.sgml -> New doc/src/sgml/ref docs
- dominfo.txt -> basic domain related queries I used for testing
[ ADDED TO /doc]
Enables domains of array elements -> CREATE DOMAIN dom int4[3][2];
Uses a typbasetype column to describe the origin of the domain.
Copies data to attnotnull rather than processing in execMain().
Some documentation differences from earlier.
If this is approved, I'll start working on pg_dump, and a \dD <domain>
option in psql, and regression tests. I don't really feel like doing
those until the system table structure settles for pg_type.
CHECKS when added, will also be copied to to the table attributes. FK
Constraints (if I ever figure out how) will be done similarly. Both
will lbe handled by MergeDomainAttributes() which is called shortly
before MergeAttributes().

o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going
to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will
see below.
o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by
client_min_messages to NOTICE.
o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc.
to always go to the client.
o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE.
Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various
behaviors we need for these messages.

Add PsqlODBC and document ...etc patch.
Eiji Tokuya
(current as of a few hours ago.)
This patch:
1. Adds PG_GETARG_xxx_P_SLICE() macros and associated support routines.
2. Adds routines in src/backend/access/tuptoaster.c for fetching only
necessary chunks of a toasted value. (Modelled on latest changes to
assume chunks are returned in order).
3. Amends text_substr and bytea_substr to use new methods. It now
handles multibyte cases -and should still lead to a performance
improvement in the multibyte case where the substring is near the
beginning of the string.
4. Added new command: ALTER TABLE tabname ALTER COLUMN colname SET
STORAGE {PLAIN | EXTERNAL | EXTENDED | MAIN} to parser and documented in
alter-table.sgml. (NB I used ColId as the item type for the storage
mode string, rather than a new production - I hope this makes sense!).
All this does is sets attstorage for the specified column.
4. AlterTableAlterColumnStatistics is now AlterTableAlterColumnFlags and
handles both statistics and storage (it uses the subtype code to
distinguish). The previous version of my patch also re-arranged other
code in backend/commands/command.c but I have dropped that from this
patch.(I plan to return to it separately).
5. Documented new macros (and also the PG_GETARG_xxx_P_COPY macros) in
xfunc.sgml. ref/alter_table.sgml also contains documentation for ALTER
COLUMN SET STORAGE.

speed up repetitive failed searches; per pghackers discussion in late
January. inval.c logic substantially simplified, since we can now treat
inserts and deletes alike as far as inval events are concerned. Some
repair work needed in heap_create_with_catalog, which turns out to have
been doing CommandCounterIncrement at a point where the new relation has
non-self-consistent catalog entries. With the new inval code, that
resulted in assert failures during a relcache entry rebuild.

highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages.

New INFO level the prints to client by default
New LOG level the prints to server log by default

DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible
DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added

New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC
New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC
Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG

are now both invoked once per received SQL command (raw parsetree) from
pg_exec_query_string. BeginCommand is actually just an empty routine
at the moment --- all its former operations have been pushed into tuple
receiver setup routines in printtup.c. This makes for a clean distinction
between BeginCommand/EndCommand (once per command) and the tuple receiver
setup/teardown routines (once per ExecutorRun call), whereas the old code
was quite ad hoc. Along the way, clean up the calling conventions for
ExecutorRun a little bit.

Also ensure that this report comes from the 'original' command, not the
last command generated by rewrite; this fixes 7.2 breakage for INSERT

hashname() and reduce the penalty incured when NAMEDATALEN is increased.
I posted this to -hackers a couple days ago, and there haven't been any
major complaints. It passes the regression tests. See -hackers for more
discussion, as well as the suggestion from Tom Lane on which this patch
is based.
Unless anyone sees any problems, please apply for 7.3.

Improve 'pg_internal.init' relcache entry preload mechanism so that it is
safe to use for all system catalogs, and arrange to preload a realistic
set of system-catalog entries instead of only the three nailed-in-cache
indexes that were formerly loaded this way. Fix mechanism for deleting
out-of-date pg_internal.init files: this must be synchronized with transaction
commit, not just done at random times within transactions. Drive it off
relcache invalidation mechanism so that no special-case tests are needed.
Cache additional information in relcache entries for indexes (their pg_index
tuples and index-operator OIDs) to eliminate repeated lookups. Also cache
index opclass info at the per-opclass level to avoid repeated lookups during
relcache load.
Generalize 'systable scan' utilities originally developed by Hiroshi,
move them into genam.c, use in a number of places where there was formerly
ugly code for choosing either heap or index scan. In particular this allows
simplification of the logic that prevents infinite recursion between syscache
and relcache during startup: we can easily switch to heapscans in relcache.c
when and where needed to avoid recursion, so IndexScanOK becomes simpler and
does not need any expensive initialization.
Eliminate useless opening of a heapscan data structure while doing an indexscan
(this saves an mdnblocks call and thus at least one kernel call).
originally created with, so that the set of visible tuples does not
change as a result of other activity. This essentially makes PG cursors
