34d1cf8d35 The System V resources discussed here apply to NetBSD as well. In fact
I just finished changing the GENERIC files and the options(4) man page
on NetBSD to make this clearer.

e0c9301c87 Install infrastructure for shared-memory free space map. Doesn't actually
do anything yet, but it has the necessary connections to initialization
and so forth.  Make some gestures towards allowing number of blocks in
a relation to be BlockNumber, ie, unsigned int, rather than signed int.
(I doubt I got all the places that are sloppy about it, yet.)  On the
way, replace the hardwired NLOCKS_PER_XACT fudge factor with a GUC
variable.

7d6e28149e Mention that EXPLAIN results on small tables shouldn't be extrapolated
to large tables.  Recommend ANALYZE or VACUUM ANALYZE after populating
a table.

116d2bba7e Add IS UNKNOWN, IS NOT UNKNOWN boolean tests, fix the existing boolean
tests to return the correct results per SQL9x when given NULL inputs.
Reimplement these tests as well as IS [NOT] NULL to have their own
expression node types, instead of depending on special functions.
From Joe Conway, with a little help from Tom Lane.

1d584f97b9 Clean up various to-do items associated with system indexes:
pg_database now has unique indexes on oid and on datname.
pg_shadow now has unique indexes on usename and on usesysid.
pg_am now has unique index on oid.
pg_opclass now has unique index on oid.
pg_amproc now has unique index on amid+amopclaid+amprocnum.
Remove pg_rewrite's unnecessary index on oid, delete unused RULEOID syscache.
Remove index on pg_listener and associated syscache for performance reasons
(caching rows that are certain to change before you need 'em again is
rather pointless).
Change pg_attrdef's nonunique index on adrelid into a unique index on
adrelid+adnum.

Fix various incorrect settings of pg_class.relisshared, make that the
primary reference point for whether a relation is shared or not.
IsSharedSystemRelationName() is now only consulted to initialize relisshared
during initial creation of tables and indexes.  In theory we might now
support shared user relations, though it's not clear how one would get
entries for them into pg_class &etc of multiple databases.

Fix recently reported bug that pg_attribute rows created for an index all have
the same OID.  (Proof that non-unique OID doesn't matter unless it's
actually used to do lookups ;-))

There's no need to treat pg_trigger, pg_attrdef, pg_relcheck as bootstrap
relations.  Convert them into plain system catalogs without hardwired
entries in pg_class and friends.

Unify global.bki and template1.bki into a single init script postgres.bki,
since the alleged distinction between them was misleading and pointless.
Not to mention that it didn't work for setting up indexes on shared
system relations.

Rationalize locking of pg_shadow, pg_group, pg_attrdef (no need to use
AccessExclusiveLock where ExclusiveLock or even RowExclusiveLock will do).
Also, hold locks until transaction commit where necessary.

7ceed2a9b5 Allow GRANT/REVOKE to/from more than one user per invocation. Command tag
for GRANT/REVOKE is now just that, not "CHANGE".

On the way, migrate some of the aclitem internal representation away from
the parser and build a real parse tree instead.  Also add some 'const'
qualifiers.

e542036461 Native Language Support (NLS)
Use --enable-nls to turn it on; see installation instructions for details.
See developer's guide how to make use of it in programs and how to add
translations.

psql sources have been almost fully prepared and an incomplete German
translation has been provided.  In the backend, only elog() calls are
currently translatable, and the provided German translation file is more
of a placeholder.

0b370ea7c8 Clean up some minor problems exposed by further thought about Panon's bug
report on old-style functions invoked by RI triggers.  We had a number of
other places that were being sloppy about which memory context FmgrInfo
subsidiary data will be allocated in.  Turns out none of them actually
cause a problem in 7.1, but this is for arcane reasons such as the fact
that old-style triggers aren't supported anyway.  To avoid getting burnt
later, I've restructured the trigger support so that we don't keep trigger
FmgrInfo structs in relcache memory.  Some other related cleanups too:
it's not really necessary to call fmgr_info at all while setting up
the index support info in relcache entries, because those ScanKeyEntry
structs are never used to invoke the functions.  This should speed up
relcache initialization a tiny bit.

    However, my application requires that each collection will also have a
    unique name. Why? So that a human being who wants to modify a collection
    will be able to identify it. It's much harder to know, if you have two
    collections named "Life Science", the the one tagged 24433 is the one
you

    I think 'the the' shouldn't be repeated twice. Although taken from an

a056f14be0 Cause plpgsql's PERFORM to behave according to its documentation,
which says that PERFORM will execute any SELECT query and discard the
result.  The former implementation would in fact raise an error if the
result contained more than one row or more than one column.

Also, change plpgsql's error-logging mechanism to emit the additional
messages about error location at NOTICE rather than DEBUG level.  This
allows them to be seen by the client without having to dig into the
postmaster log file (which may be nonexistent or inaccessible by the
client).

dffb673692 While changing Cygwin Python to build its core as a DLL (like Win32
Python) to support shared extension modules, I have learned that Guido
prefers the style of the attached patch to solve the above problem.
I feel that this solution is particularly appropriate in this case
because the following:

    PglargeType
    PgType
    PgQueryType

are already being handled in the way that I am proposing for PgSourceType.

efcecd9eca Make bit and bit varying types reject too long input. (They already tried
to do that, but inconsistently.)  Make bit type reject too short input,
too, per SQL.  Since it no longer zero pads, 'zpbit*' has been renamed to
'bit*' in the source, hence initdb.
