fixed-size hashtable. This should prevent 'hashtable out of memory' errors,
unless you really do run out of memory. Note: target size for hashtable
is now taken from -S postmaster switch, not -B, since it is local memory
in the backend rather than shared memory.
lists are now plain old garden-variety Lists, allocated with palloc,
rather than specialized expansible-array data allocated with malloc.
This substantially simplifies their handling and eliminates several
sources of memory leakage.
Several basic types of erroneous queries (syntax error, attempt to
insert a duplicate key into a unique index) now demonstrably leak
zero bytes per query.
about certain to fail anytime it decided the relation to be hashed was
too big to fit in memory --- the code for 'batching' a series of hashjoins
had multiple errors. I've fixed the easier problems. A remaining big
problem is that you can get 'hashtable out of memory' if the code's
guesstimate about how much overflow space it will need turns out wrong.
That will require much more extensive revisions to fix, so I'm committing
these fixes now before I start on that problem.
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;
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.

hashjoin's hashFunc() so that it does the right thing with pass-by-value
data types (the old code would always return 0 for int2 or char values,
which would work but would slow things down a lot). Extend opr_sanity
regress test to catch more kinds of errors.
change functionality, but makes the code more ANSI C'ish.
My AIX xlc compiler barfs on all of these. Can someone please
review and apply to current.

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.
qualification expression trees in the execution state. Prevents from
memory exhaustion on INSERT, UPDATE or COPY to tables that have CHECK
constraints. Speedup against the variant using freeObject() is more than
factor 2.
