relcache entry after having heap_close'd it. This could lead to misbehavior if a relcache flush wiped out the cache entry meanwhile. In 8.2 there is a very real risk of CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY using the wrong relid for locking and waiting purposes. I think the bug is only cosmetic in 8.0 and 8.1, because their transgression is limited to using RelationGetRelationName(rel) in an ereport message immediately after heap_close, and there's no way (except with special debugging options) for a cache flush to occur in that interval. Not quite sure that it's cosmetic in 7.4, but seems best to patch anyway. Found by trying to run the regression tests with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS enabled. Maybe we should try to do that on a regular basis --- it's awfully slow, but perhaps some fast buildfarm machine could do it once in awhile.
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 including some of the more common listed below: C++ - http://thaiopensource.org/development/libpqxx/ JDBC - http://jdbc.postgresql.org ODBC - http://odbc.postgresql.org Perl - http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/ PHP - http://www.php.net Python - http://www.initd.org/ Ruby - http://ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/ Other language binding are available from a variety of contributing parties. PostgreSQL also has a great number of procedural languages available, a short but not complete list is below: PL/pgSQL - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/Perl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/PHP - http://projects.commandprompt.com/projects/public/plphp PL/Python - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/Java - http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pljava/projdisplay.php PL/Tcl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution 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.
