In commit a5ec86a7c787832d28d5e50400ec96a5190f2555 I wrote a quick hack that reduced the number of TeX string pool entries created while converting our documentation to PDF form. That held the fort for awhile, but as of HEAD we're back up against the same limitation. It turns out that the original coding of \FlowObjectSetup actually results in *three* string pool entries being generated for every "flow object" (that is, potential cross-reference target) in the documentation, and my previous hack only got rid of one of them. With a little more care, we can reduce the string count to one per flow object plus one per actually-cross-referenced flow object (about 115000 + 5000 as of current HEAD); that should work until the documentation volume roughly doubles from where it is today. As a not-incidental side benefit, this change also causes pdfjadetex to stop emitting unreferenced hyperlink anchors (bookmarks) into the PDF file. It had been making one willy-nilly for every flow object; now it's just one per actually-cross-referenced object. This results in close to a 2X savings in PDF file size. We will still want to run the output through "jpdftweak" to get it to be compressed; but we no longer need removal of unreferenced bookmarks, so we might be able to find a quicker tool for that step. Although the failure only affects HEAD and US-format output at the moment, 9.5 cannot be more than a few pages short of failing likewise, so it will inevitably fail after a few rounds of minor-version release notes. I don't have a lot of faith that we'll never hit the limit in the older branches; and anyway it would be nice to get rid of jpdftweak across the board. Therefore, back-patch to all supported branches.

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. 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.
