Robert Haas	e472ce9624	Add integrity-checking functions to pg_visibility. ... The new pg_check_visible() and pg_check_frozen() functions can be used to verify that the visibility map bits for a relation's data pages match the actual state of the tuples on those pages. Amit Kapila and Robert Haas, reviewed (in earlier versions) by Andres Freund. Additional testing help by Thomas Munro.	9 years ago

Kevin Grittner	a343e223a5	Revert no-op changes to BufferGetPage() ... The reverted changes were intended to force a choice of whether any newly-added BufferGetPage() calls needed to be accompanied by a test of the snapshot age, to support the "snapshot too old" feature. Such an accompanying test is needed in about 7% of the cases, where the page is being used as part of a scan rather than positioning for other purposes (such as DML or vacuuming). The additional effort required for back-patching, and the doubt whether the intended benefit would really be there, have indicated it is best just to rely on developers to do the right thing based on comments and existing usage, as we do with many other conventions. This change should have little or no effect on generated executable code. Motivated by the back-patching pain of Tom Lane and Robert Haas	10 years ago
Kevin Grittner	8b65cf4c5e	Modify BufferGetPage() to prepare for "snapshot too old" feature ... This patch is a no-op patch which is intended to reduce the chances of failures of omission once the functional part of the "snapshot too old" patch goes in. It adds parameters for snapshot, relation, and an enum to specify whether the snapshot age check needs to be done for the page at this point. This initial patch passes NULL for the first two new parameters and BGP_NO_SNAPSHOT_TEST for the third. The follow-on patch will change the places where the test needs to be made.	10 years ago
Robert Haas	ba0a198fb1	Add pg_visibility contrib module. ... This lets you examine the visibility map as well as page-level visibility information. I initially wrote it as a debugging aid, but was encouraged to polish it for commit. Patch by me, reviewed by Masahiko Sawada. Discussion: 56D77803.6080503@BlueTreble.com	10 years ago
