additional argument specifying the kind of lock to acquire/release (or
'NoLock' to do no lock processing). Ensure that all relations are locked
with some appropriate lock level before being examined --- this ensures
that relevant shared-inval messages have been processed and should prevent
problems caused by concurrent VACUUM. Fix several bugs having to do with
mismatched increment/decrement of relation ref count and mismatched
heap_open/close (which amounts to the same thing). A bogus ref count on
a relation doesn't matter much *unless* a SI Inval message happens to
arrive at the wrong time, which is probably why we got away with this
sloppiness for so long. Repair missing grab of AccessExclusiveLock in
DROP TABLE, ALTER/RENAME TABLE, etc, as noted by Hiroshi.
Recommend 'make clean all' after pulling this update; I modified the
Relation struct layout slightly.
Will post further discussion to pghackers list shortly.
a field was labelled as a primary key, the system automatically
created a unique index on the field. This patch extends it so
that the index has the indisprimary field set. You can pull a list
of primary keys with the followiing select.
SELECT pg_class.relname, pg_attribute.attname
FROM pg_class, pg_attribute, pg_index
WHERE pg_class.oid = pg_attribute.attrelid AND
pg_class.oid = pg_index.indrelid AND
pg_index.indkey[0] = pg_attribute.attnum AND
pg_index.indisunique = 't';
There is nothing in this patch that modifies the template database to
set the indisprimary attribute for system tables. Should they be
changed or should we only be concerned with user tables?

if MULTIBYTE is not enabled. So be sure to run initdb.
o these patches are made against the latest source tree (after
Bruce's massive patch, I think) BTW, I noticed that after running
regression, the oid field of pg_type seems disappeared.
regression=> select oid from pg_type; ERROR: attribute
'oid' not found
this happens after the constraints test. This occures with/without
my patches. strange...
o pg_database_mb.h, pg_class_mb.h, pg_attribute_mb.h are no longer
used, and shoud be removed.
o GetDatabaseInfo() in utils/misc/database.c removed (actually in
#ifdef 0). seems nobody uses.
