History

Robert Haas e5595de03e Tidy up more loose ends related to configurable TOAST compression. Change the default_toast_compression GUC to be an enum rather than a string. Earlier, uncommitted versions of the patch supported using CREATE ACCESS METHOD to add new compression methods to a running system, but that idea was dropped before commit. So, we can simplify the GUC handling as well, which has the nice side effect of improving the error messages. While updating the documentation to reflect the new GUC type, also move it back to the right place in the list. I moved this while revising what became commit `24f0e395ac`, but apparently the intended ordering is "alphabetical" rather than "whatever Robert thinks looks nice." Rejigger things to avoid having access/toast_compression.h depend on utils/guc.h, so that we don't end up with every file that includes it also depending on something largely unrelated. Move a few inline functions back into the C source file partly to help reduce dependencies and partly just to avoid clutter. A few very minor cosmetic fixes. Original patch by Justin Pryzby, but very heavily edited by me, and reverse reviewed by him and also reviewed by by Tom Lane.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication (but see also below)

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

kerberos/
  Tests for Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and encryption

ldap/
  Tests for LDAP-based authentication

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication
