Move the responsibility for caching specialized information about range types into the type cache, so that the catalog lookups only have to occur once per session. Rearrange APIs a bit so that fn_extra caching is actually effective in the GiST support code. (Use of OidFunctionCallN is bad enough for performance in itself, but it also prevents the function from exploiting fn_extra caching.) The range I/O functions are still not very bright about caching repeated lookups, but that seems like material for a separate patch. Also, avoid unnecessary use of memcpy to fetch/store the range type OID and flags, and don't use the full range_deserialize machinery when all we need to see is the flags value. Also fix API error in range_gist_penalty --- it was failing to set *penalty for any case involving an empty range.
PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
