The heapam XLog functions are used by other modules, not all of which
are interested in the rest of the heapam API. With this, we let them
get just the XLog stuff in which they are interested and not pollute
them with unrelated includes.
Also, since heapam.h no longer requires xlog.h, many files that do
include heapam.h no longer get xlog.h automatically, including a few
headers. This is useful because heapam.h is getting pulled in by
execnodes.h, which is in turn included by a lot of files.
It used to be case that lazy vacuum could call this function with only
a shared lock on the buffer, but neither lazy vacuum nor any other
code path does that any more. Simplify the code accordingly and clean
up some related, obsolete comments.
This commit replaces pg_class.relistemp with pg_class.relpersistence;
and also modifies the RangeVar node type to carry relpersistence rather
than istemp. It also removes removes rd_istemp from RelationData and
instead performs the correct computation based on relpersistence.
For clarity, we add three new macros: RelationNeedsWAL(),
RelationUsesLocalBuffers(), and RelationUsesTempNamespace(), so that we
can clarify the purpose of each check that previous depended on
rd_istemp.
This is intended as infrastructure for the upcoming unlogged tables
patch, as well as for future possible work on global temporary tables.
length stored in the line pointer the same way it's calculated in the normal
heap_insert() codepath. As noted by Jeff Davis, the length stored by
raw_heap_insert() included padding but the one stored by the normal codepath
did not. While the mismatch seems to be harmless, inconsistency isn't good,
and the normal codepath has received a lot more testing over the years.
Backpatch to 8.3 where the heap rewrite code was introduced.
This patch resurrects some of the information that could be logged by the
old, now-dead implementation of VACUUM FULL, in particular counts of live
and dead tuples and the time taken for the table rebuild proper. There's
still no logging about the ensuing index rebuilds, though.

archival or hot standby should be WAL-logged, instead of deducing that from
other options like archive_mode. This replaces recovery_connections GUC in
the primary, where it now has no effect, but it's still used in the standby
to enable/disable hot standby.
Remove the WAL-logging of "unlogged operations", like creating an index
without WAL-logging and fsyncing it at the end. Instead, we keep a copy of
the wal_mode setting and the settings that affect how much shared memory a
hot standby server needs to track master transactions (max_connections,
max_prepared_xacts, max_locks_per_xact) in pg_control. Whenever the settings
change, at server restart, write a WAL record noting the new settings and
update pg_control. This allows us to notice the change in those settings in
the standby at the right moment, they used to be included in checkpoint
records, but that meant that a changed value was not reflected in the
standby until the first checkpoint after the change.
Bump PG_CONTROL_VERSION and XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC. Whack XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC back to
the sequence it used to follow, before hot standby and subsequent patches
changed it to 0x9003.
heap_sync() to the callers, because heap_sync() is sometimes called even
if the operation itself is WAL-logged. This eliminates the bogus unlogged
records from CLUSTER that Simon Riggs reported, patch by Fujii Masao.
(but not locked, as that would risk deadlocks). Also, make it work in a small
ring of buffers to avoid having bulk inserts trash the whole buffer arena.

of multiple forks, and each fork can be created and grown separately.
The bulk of this patch is about changing the smgr API to include an extra
ForkNumber argument in every smgr function. Also, smgrscheduleunlink and
smgrdounlink no longer implicitly call smgrclose, because other forks might
still exist after unlinking one. The callers of those functions have been
modified to call smgrclose instead.
This patch in itself doesn't have any user-visible effect, but provides the
infrastructure needed for upcoming patches. The additional forks envisioned
are a rewritten FSM implementation that doesn't rely on a fixed-size shared
memory block, and a visibility map to allow skipping portions of a table in
VACUUM that have no dead tuples.
corresponding struct definitions. This allows other headers to avoid including
certain highly-loaded headers such as rel.h and relscan.h, instead using just
relcache.h, heapam.h or genam.h, which are more lightweight and thus cause less
unnecessary dependencies.
more logical that way, and also it reduces the amount of unnecessary includes
in bufpage.h, which is widely used.

My previous patch to bufpage.h should also have credited him as author, but I
forgot (sorry about that).
unnecessary #include lines in it. Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and
macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c
files.
For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created,
initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage.
While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more

columns, and the new version can be stored on the same heap page, we no longer
generate extra index entries for the new version. Instead, index searches
follow the HOT-chain links to ensure they find the correct tuple version.
In addition, this patch introduces the ability to "prune" dead tuples on a
per-page basis, without having to do a complete VACUUM pass to recover space.
VACUUM is still needed to clean up dead index entries, however.

than two independent bits (one of which was never used in heap pages anyway,
or at least hadn't been in a very long time). This gives us flexibility to
add the HOT notions of redirected and dead item pointers without requiring
anything so klugy as magic values of lp_off and lp_len. The state values
are chosen so that for the states currently in use (pre-HOT) there is no
change in the physical representation.
to avoid losing useful Xid information in not-so-old tuples. This makes
CLUSTER behave the same as VACUUM as far a tuple-freezing behavior goes
(though CLUSTER does not yet advance the table's relfrozenxid).
While at it, move the actual freezing operation in rewriteheap.c to a more
appropriate place, and document it thoroughly. This part of the patch from
Tom Lane.
applied to live tuples older than a recent Xmin, not to tuples that may be part
of an update chain. Those still keep their original markings.
This patch makes it possible for CLUSTER to advance relfrozenxid, thus avoiding
the need of vacuuming the table for Xid wraparound purposes. That will be
patched separately.
