running gcc and HP's cc with warnings cranked way up. Signed vs unsigned
comparisons, routines declared static and then defined not-static,
that kind of thing. Tedious, but perhaps useful...
appropriate btree three-way comparison routine. Not clear why the
three-way comparison routines were being used in some paths and not
others in btree --- incomplete changes by someone long ago, maybe?
Anyway, this makes for a nice speedup in CREATE INDEX.
from a constraint condition does not violate the constraint (cf. discussion
on pghackers 12/9/99). Implemented by adding a parameter to ExecQual,
specifying whether to return TRUE or FALSE when the qual result is
really NULL in three-valued boolean logic. Currently, ExecRelCheck is
the only caller that asks for TRUE, but if we find any other places that
have the wrong response to NULL, it'll be easy to fix them.
Make all system indexes unique.
Make all cache loads use system indexes.
Rename *rel to *relid in inheritance tables.
Rename cache names to be clearer.
a generalized module 'tuplesort.c' that can sort either HeapTuples or
IndexTuples, and is not tied to execution of a Sort node. Clean up
memory leakages in sorting, and replace nbtsort.c's private implementation
of mergesorting with calls to tuplesort.c.
is used to find start scan position of Indexscan-s.
To speed up finding scan start position,I have changed
_bt_first() to use as many keys as possible.
I'll attach the patch here.

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.
Also, move responsibility for calling vc_abort into main xact.c list of
things-to-call-at-abort. What in the world was it doing down inside of
TransactionIdAbort()?
care of equal-key cases, eliminating bt_firsteq(). The linear search
formerly done by bt_firsteq() took a lot of time in the case where many
equal keys appear on the same page.
indexes.
1. Index Scan using plural indexids never scan backward
as to the order of indexids.
2. The cursor using Index scan is not usable after moving
past the end.
This patch solves above bugs.
Moreover the change of _bt_first() would be useful to extend
ORDER BY patch by Jan Wieck for all descending order cases.

2. Much faster btree tuples deletion in the case when first on page
index tuple is deleted (no movement to the left page(s)).
3. Remember blkno of new root page in BTPageOpaque of
left/right siblings when root page is splitted.
I would like some feedback on what the hash function for the int8 hash
function
in the ./backend/access/hash/hashfunc.c should return.
Also, could someone (maybe Tomas Lockhart?) look-over the patch and make
sure
the system table entries are correct? I've tried to research them as
much as I
could, but some of them are still not clear to me.
Thanks,

Ok. I made patches replacing all of "#if FALSE" or "#if 0" to "#ifdef
NOT_USED" for current. I have tested these patches in that the
postgres binaries are identical.
