* Buffer refcount cleanup (per my "progress report" to pghackers, 9/22).
* Add links to backend PROC structs to sinval's array of per-backend info,
and use these links for routines that need to check the state of all
backends (rather than the slow, complicated search of the ShmemIndex
hashtable that was used before). Add databaseOID to PROC structs.
* Use this to implement an interlock that prevents DESTROY DATABASE of
a database containing running backends. (It's a little tricky to prevent
a concurrently-starting backend from getting in there, since the new
backend is not able to lock anything at the time it tries to look up
its database in pg_database. My solution is to recheck that the DB is
OK at the end of InitPostgres. It may not be a 100% solution, but it's
a lot better than no interlock at all...)
* In ALTER TABLE RENAME, flush buffers for the relation before doing the
rename of the physical files, to ensure we don't get failures later from
mdblindwrt().
* Update TRUNCATE patch so that it actually compiles against current
sources :-(.
You should do "make clean all" after pulling these changes.
documented intepretation of the lefthand and oper fields. Fix a number of
obscure problems while at it --- for example, the old code failed if the parser
decided to insert a type-coercion function just below the operator of a
SubLink.
CAUTION: this will break stored rules that contain subplans. You may
need to initdb.
expression context (ie, not at the top level of a WHERE clause). Examples
like this one work now:
SELECT name, value FROM t1 as touter WHERE
(value/(SELECT AVG(value) FROM t1 WHERE name = touter.name)) > 0.75;
ExecReScan for nodeAgg, nodeHash, nodeHashjoin, nodeNestloop and nodeResult.
Fixed ExecReScan for nodeMaterial.
Get rid of #ifdef INDEXSCAN_PATCH.
Get rid of ExecMarkPos and ExecRestrPos in nodeNestloop.
