entries now for int8 and network hash indexes. int24_ops and int42_ops
are gone. pg_opclass no longer contains multiple entries claiming to be
the default opclass for the same datatype. opr_sanity regress test
extended to catch errors like these in the future.
passing the index-is-unique flag to index build routines (duh! ...
why wasn't it done this way to begin with?). Aside from eliminating
an eyesore, this should save a few milliseconds in btree index creation
because a full scan of pg_index is not needed any more.
--- ie, they're only called for side-effects. Add a PG_RETURN_VOID()
macro and use it where appropriate. This probably doesn't change the
machine code by a single bit ... it's just for documentation.
inputs have been converted to newstyle. This should go a long way towards
fixing our portability problems with platforms where char and short
parameters are passed differently from int-width parameters. Still
more to do for the Alpha port however.
That means you can now set your options in either or all of $PGDATA/configuration,
some postmaster option (--enable-fsync=off), or set a SET command. The list of
options is in backend/utils/misc/guc.c, documentation will be written post haste.
pg_options is gone, so is that pq_geqo config file. Also removed were backend -K,
-Q, and -T options (no longer applicable, although -d0 does the same as -Q).
Added to configure an --enable-syslog option.
changed all callers from TPRINTF to elog(DEBUG)
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.
