utility statement (DeclareCursorStmt) with a SELECT query dangling from
it, rather than a SELECT query with a few unusual fields in it. Add
code to determine whether a planned query can safely be run backwards.
If DECLARE CURSOR specifies SCROLL, ensure that the plan can be run
backwards by adding a Materialize plan node if it can't. Without SCROLL,
you get an error if you try to fetch backwards from a cursor that can't
handle it. (There is still some discussion about what the exact
behavior should be, but this is necessary infrastructure in any case.)
Along the way, make EXPLAIN DECLARE CURSOR work.
Adjustable threshold is gone in favor of keeping track of total requested
page storage and doling out proportional fractions to each relation
(with a minimum amount per relation, and some quantization of the results
to avoid thrashing with small changes in page counts). Provide special-
case code for indexes so as not to waste space storing useless page
free space counts. Restructure internal data storage to be a flat array
instead of list-of-chunks; this may cost a little more work in data
copying when reorganizing, but allows binary search to be used during
lookup_fsm_page_entry().

nondeletable pages, but it's better than nothing. Also, improve stats

now knows what to do upon hitting a dead page (in theory anyway, it's
untested...). Add a post-VACUUM-cleanup entry point for index AMs, to
provide a place for dead-page scavenging to happen.
Also, fix oversight that broke btpo_prev links in temporary indexes.

RelOid_pg_class, and transaction locks XactLockTableId. RelId is renamed
to objId.
- LockObject() and UnlockObject() functions created, and their use
sprinkled throughout the code to do descent locking for domains and
types. They accept lock modes AccessShare and AccessExclusive, as we
only really need a 'read' and 'write' lock at the moment. Most locking
cases are held until the end of the transaction.
This fixes the cases Tom mentioned earlier in regards to locking with
Domains. If the patch is good, I'll work on cleaning up issues with
other database objects that have this problem (most of them).

step towards someday supporting 8-byte OIDs. For the moment, it doesn't
do much except get rid of a lot of unsightly casts.

proposal on -hackers a couple days ago. The 'tgenabled' status of the

(i.e. when the event occurs that fires the trigger), not when the

No regression tests, as another bug prevents them (the pg_trigger row
for a trigger is only loaded once per session, so any changes to it are
not noticed unless the client disconnects and reconnects).

patches of 9-Dec (permissions fix) and 13-Dec (performance) as well as
a partial fix for locking issues: concurrent DROP COLUMN should not
create trouble anymore. But concurrent DROP TABLE is still a risk, and
there is no protection at all against creating a column of a domain while
we are altering the domain.

This preserves the quick-reset property of the original policy, without
forcing 8K to be allocated to every context whether any of it is ever
used or not. Also, remove some more no-longer-needed explicit freeing
during ExecEndPlan.

problem of memory leaked by various ExecEndNode calls.
in the planned representation of a subplan at all any more, only SubPlan.
This means subselect.c doesn't scribble on its input anymore, which seems
like a good thing; and there are no longer three different possible
interpretations of a SubLink. Simplify node naming and improve comments
in primnodes.h. No change to stored rules, though.
execution state trees, and ExecEvalExpr takes an expression state tree
not an expression plan tree. The plan tree is now read-only as far as
the executor is concerned. Next step is to begin actually exploiting
this property.
make VALUE a non-reserved word again, use less invasive method of passing
ConstraintTestValue into transformExpr, fix problems with nested constraint
testing, do correct thing with NULL result from a constraint expression,

to allow ALTER DOMAIN, however.
so that all executable expression nodes inherit from a common supertype
Expr. This is somewhat of an exercise in code purity rather than any
real functional advance, but getting rid of the extra Oper or Func node
formerly used in each operator or function call should provide at least
a little space and speed improvement.
initdb forced by changes in stored-rules representation.
to plan nodes, not vice-versa. All executor state nodes now inherit from
struct PlanState. Copying of plan trees has been simplified by not
storing a list of SubPlans in Plan nodes (eliminating duplicate links).
The executor still needs such a list, but it can build it during
ExecutorStart since it has to scan the plan tree anyway.
No initdb forced since no stored-on-disk structures changed, but you
will need a full recompile because of node-numbering changes.
