included by everything that includes bufmgr.h --- it's supposed to be
internals, after all, not part of the API! This fixes the conflict
against FreeBSD headers reported by Rosenman, by making it unnecessary
for s_lock.h to be included by plperl.c.
IPC key assignment will now work correctly even when multiple postmasters
are using same logical port number (which is possible given -k switch).
There is only one shared-mem segment per postmaster now, not 3.
Rip out broken code for non-TAS case in bufmgr and xlog, substitute a
complete S_LOCK emulation using semaphores in spin.c. TAS and non-TAS
logic is now exactly the same.
When deadlock is detected, "Deadlock detected" is now the elog(ERROR)
message, rather than a NOTICE that comes out before an unhelpful ERROR.
Context diff this time.
Remove -m486 compile args for FreeBSD-i386, compile -O2 on i386.
Compile with only -O on alpha for codegen safety.
Make the port use the TEST_AND_SET for alpha and i386 on FreeBSD.
Fix a lot of bogus string formats for outputting pointers (cast to int
and %u/%x replaced with no cast and %p), and 'Size'(size_t) are now
cast to 'unsigned long' and output with %lu/
Remove an unused variable.

that search loops only have to scan that far and not through all maxBackends
entries. This eliminates a performance penalty for setting maxBackends
much higher than the average number of active backends. Also, eliminate
no-longer-used 'backend tag' concept. Remove setting of environment
variables at backend start (except for CYR_RECODE), since none of them
are being examined by the backend any longer.
(WAL logging for this is not done yet, however.) Clean up a number of really
crufty things that are no longer needed now that DROP behaves nicely. Make
temp table mapper do the right things when drop or rename affecting a temp
table is rolled back. Also, remove "relation modified while in use" error
check, in favor of locking tables at first reference and holding that lock
throughout the statement.
kibitzing from Tom Lane. Large objects are now all stored in a single
system relation "pg_largeobject" --- no more xinv or xinx files, no more
relkind 'l'. This should offer substantial performance improvement for
large numbers of LOs, since there won't be directory bloat anymore.
It'll also fix problems like running out of locktable space when you
access thousands of LOs in one transaction.
Also clean up cruft in read/write routines. LOs with "holes" in them
(never-written byte ranges) now work just like Unix files with holes do:
a hole reads as zeroes but doesn't occupy storage space.
INITDB forced!
from bufmgr - it would be nice to have separate hash in smgr
for node <--> fd mappings, but for the moment it's easy to
add new hash to relcache.
Fixed small bug in xlog.c:ReadRecord.
and DropBuffers. Formerly we cleared the flag for each buffer currently
belonging to the target rel or database, but that's completely wrong!
Must look at BufferTagLastDirtied to see whether the BufferDirtiedByMe
flag is relevant to target rel or not; this is *independent* of the
current contents of the buffer. Vadim spotted this problem, but his
fix was only partially correct...

Um, Bruce, I've said several times that I didn't think Perchine's large
object changes should be applied until someone had actually reviewed
them.
I tested it restoring my database with > 100000 BLOBS, and dumping it out.
But unfortunatly I can not restore it back due to problems in pg_dump.

source directory. This involves mostly makefiles using $(srcdir) when they
might have used ".". (Regression tests don't work with this, yet.)
Sort out usage of CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS (and CXXFLAGS). Add "override" keyword
in most places, to preserve necessary flags even when the user overrode the
flags.

after that dynamic loading isn't working and shared memory handling is
broken.
Attached with this message, there is a Zip file which contain :
* beos.diff = patch file generated with difforig
* beos = folder with beos support files which need to be moved in /
src/backend/port
* expected = foler with three file for message and precision
difference in regression test
* regression.diff = rule problem (need to kill the backend manualy)
* dynloader = dynloader files (they are also in the pacth files,
but there is so much modification that I have join full files)
Everything works except a problem in 'rules' Is there some problems
with rules in the current tree ? It used to works with last week tree.
Cyril VELTER
working on the VERY latest version of BeOS. I'm sure there will be
alot of comments, but then if there weren't I'd be disappointed!
Thanks for your continuing efforts to get this into your tree.
Haven't bothered with the new files as they haven't changed.
BTW Peter, the compiler is "broken" about the bool define and so on.
I'm filing a bug report to try and get it addressed. Hopefully then we
can tidy up the code a bit.
I await the replies with interest :)

virtual FDs, we just return the ENFILE/EMFILE error to the caller,
rather than immediate elog(). This allows more robust behavior in
the postmaster, which uses AllocateFile() but does not want elog().
duplicate keys by letting search go to the left rather than right when an
equal key is seen at an upper tree level. Fix poor choice of page split
point (leading to insertion failures) that was forced by chaining logic.
Don't store leftmost key in non-leaf pages, since it's not necessary.
Don't create root page until something is first stored in the index, so an
unused index is now 8K not 16K. (Doesn't seem to be as easy to get rid of
the metadata page, unfortunately.) Massive cleanup of unreadable code,
fix poor, obsolete, and just plain wrong documentation and comments.
See src/backend/access/nbtree/README for the gory details.
There's now only one transition value and transition function.
NULL handling in aggregates is a lot cleaner. Also, use Numeric
accumulators instead of integer accumulators for sum/avg on integer
datatypes --- this avoids overflow at the cost of being a little slower.
Implement VARIANCE() and STDDEV() aggregates in the standard backend.
Also, enable new LIKE selectivity estimators by default. Unrelated
change, but as long as I had to force initdb anyway...
pass-by-ref data types --- eg, an index on lower(textfield) --- no longer
leak memory during index creation or update. Clean up a lot of redundant
code ... did you know that copy, vacuum, truncate, reindex, extend index,
and bootstrap each basically duplicated the main executor's logic for
extracting information about an index and preparing index entries?
Functional indexes should be a little faster now too, due to removal
of repeated function lookups.
CREATE INDEX 'opt_type' clause is deimplemented by these changes,
but I haven't removed it from the parser yet (need to merge with
Thomas' latest change set first).
