Like the latter, these routines will avoid failing on EMFILE/ENFILE

Also, reduce PANIC to ERROR in MoveOfflineLogs() --- this is not

Also removed the misnamed BM_FREE bufhdr flag and replaced the checks,
which effectively ask if the buffer is unpinned, with checks against the

wit: Add a header record to each WAL segment file so that it can be reliably
identified. Avoid splitting WAL records across segment files (this is not
strictly necessary, but makes it simpler to incorporate the header records).
Make WAL entries for file creation, deletion, and truncation (as foreseen but
never implemented by Vadim). Also, add support for making XLOG_SEG_SIZE
configurable at compile time, similarly to BLCKSZ. Fix a couple bugs I
introduced in WAL replay during recent smgr API changes. initdb is forced

Changes:
- remove duplicate signal definitions from pqsignal.h
- replace pqkill() with kill() and redefine kill() in Win32
- use ereport() in place of fprintf() in some error handling in
pqsignal.c
- export pg_queue_signal() and make use of it where necessary
- add a console control handler for Ctrl-C and similar handling
on Win32
- do WaitForSingleObjectEx() in CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() on Win32;
query cancelling should now work on Win32
- various other fixes and cleanups
against the latest shapshot. It also includes the replacement of kill()
with pqkill() and sigsetmask() with pqsigsetmask().

link completely on Win32 - there are a few things still required. But
much closer than before.
At Bruce's request, I'm goint to write up a README file about the method
of signals delivery chosen and why the others were rejected (basically a
summary of the mailinglist discussions). I'll finish that up once/if the

The patch basically is a slight rearrangement of the code to allow
fork/exec on Unix, with the ultimate goal of doing CreateProcess on
Win32. The changes are:
o Write out postmaster global variables and per-backend
variables to be read by the exec'ed backend
o Mark some static variables as global when exec is used so
then can be dumped from postmaster.c, marked NON_EXEC_STATIC
o Remove value passing with -p now that we have per-backend
file
o Move some pointer storage out of shared memory for easier
dumping.
o Modified pgsql_temp directory cleanup to handle per-database
directories and the backend exec directory under datadir.

some concurrent changes Jan was making to the bufmgr. Here's an
updated version of the patch -- it should apply cleanly to CVS
HEAD and passes the regression tests.
This patch makes the following changes:
- remove the UnlockAndReleaseBuffer() and UnlockAndWriteBuffer()
macros, and replace uses of them with calls to the appropriate
functions.
- remove a bunch of #ifdef BMTRACE code: it is ugly & broken
(i.e. it doesn't compile)
- make BufferReplace() return a bool, not an int
- cleanup some logic in bufmgr.c; should be functionality
equivalent to the previous code, just cleaner now
- remove the BM_PRIVATE flag as it is unused
- improve a few comments, etc.
method control structure, or a table of control structures.
. Use type LOCKMASK where an int is not a counter.
. Get rid of INVALID_TABLEID, use INVALID_LOCKMETHOD instead.
. Use INVALID_LOCKMETHOD instead of (LOCKMETHOD) NULL, because
LOCKMETHOD is not a pointer.
. Define and use macro LockMethodIsValid.
. Rename LOCKMETHOD to LOCKMETHODID.
. Remove global variable LongTermTableId in lmgr.c, because it is
never used.
. Make LockTableId static in lmgr.c, because it is used nowhere else.
Why not remove it and use DEFAULT_LOCKMETHOD?
. Rename the lock method control structure from LOCKMETHODTABLE to
LockMethodData. Introduce a pointer type named LockMethod.
. Remove elog(FATAL) after InitLockTable() call in
CreateSharedMemoryAndSemaphores(), because if something goes wrong,
there is elog(FATAL) in LockMethodTableInit(), and if this doesn't
help, an elog(ERROR) in InitLockTable() is promoted to FATAL.
. Make InitLockTable() void, because its only caller does not use its
return value any more.
. Rename variables in lock.c to avoid statements like
LockMethodTable[NumLockMethods] = lockMethodTable;
lockMethodTable = LockMethodTable[lockmethod];
. Change LOCKMETHODID type to uint16 to fit into struct LOCKTAG.
. Remove static variables BITS_OFF and BITS_ON from lock.c, because
I agree to this doubt:
* XXX is a fetch from a static array really faster than a shift?
. Define and use macros LOCKBIT_ON/OFF.

pghackers proposal of 8-Nov. All the existing cross-type comparison
operators (int2/int4/int8 and float4/float8) have appropriate support.
The original proposal of storing the right-hand-side datatype as part of
the primary key for pg_amop and pg_amproc got modified a bit in the event;
it is easier to store zero as the 'default' case and only store a nonzero
when the operator is actually cross-type. Along the way, remove the
long-since-defunct bigbox_ops operator class.
Remove the 'strategy map' code, which was a large amount of mechanism
that no longer had any use except reverse-mapping from procedure OID to
strategy number. Passing the strategy number to the index AM in the
first place is simpler and faster.
This is a preliminary step in planned support for cross-datatype index
operations. I'm committing it now since the ScanKeyEntryInitialize()
API change touches quite a lot of files, and I want to commit those
changes before the tree drifts under me.
memory say 'out of shared memory'; some were doing that and some just
said 'out of memory'. Also add a HINT about increasing max_locks_per_transaction
where relevant, per suggestion from Sean Chittenden. (The former change
does not break the strings freeze; the latter does, but I think it's
worth doing anyway.)
discussion on pgsql-hackers: in READ COMMITTED mode we just have to force
a QuerySnapshot update in the trigger, but in SERIALIZABLE mode we have
to run the scan under a current snapshot and then complain if any rows
would be updated/deleted that are not visible in the transaction snapshot.
now able to cope with assigning new relfilenode values to nailed-in-cache
indexes, so they can be reindexed using the fully crash-safe method. This
leaves only shared system indexes as special cases. Remove the 'index
deactivation' code, since it provides no useful protection in the shared-
index case. Require reindexing of shared indexes to be done in standalone
mode, but remove other restrictions on REINDEX. -P (IgnoreSystemIndexes)
now prevents using indexes for lookups, but does not disable index updates.
It is therefore safe to allow from PGOPTIONS. Upshot: reindexing system catalogs
can be done without a standalone backend for all cases except
shared catalogs.
not just MAXALIGN boundaries. This makes a noticeable difference in
the speed of transfers to and from kernel space, at least on recent
Pentiums, and might help other CPUs too. We should look at making
this happen for local buffers and buffile.c too. Patch from Manfred Spraul.
pghackers. This fixes the problem recently reported by Markus KrÌutner
(hash bucket split corrupts the state of scans being done concurrently),
and I believe it also fixes all the known problems with deadlocks in
hash index operations. Hash indexes are still not really ready for prime
time (since they aren't WAL-logged), but this is a step forward.
index pages: when _bt_getbuf asks the FSM for a free index page, it is
possible (and, in some cases, even moderately likely) that the answer
will be the same page that _bt_split is trying to split. _bt_getbuf
already knew that the returned page might not be free, but it wasn't
prepared for the possibility that even trying to lock the page could
be problematic. Fix by doing a conditional rather than unconditional
grab of the page lock.
free'd for every transaction or statement, respectively. This patch
puts these data structures into static memory, thus saving a few CPU
cycles and two malloc calls per transaction or (in isolation level
READ COMMITTED) per query.

least-recently-used strategy from clog.c into slru.c. It doesn't
change any visible behaviour and passes all regression tests plus a
TruncateCLOG test done manually.
Apart from refactoring I made a little change to SlruRecentlyUsed,
formerly ClogRecentlyUsed: It now skips incrementing lru_counts, if
slotno is already the LRU slot, thus saving a few CPU cycles. To make
this work, lru_counts are initialised to 1 in SimpleLruInit.
SimpleLru will be used by pg_subtrans (part of the nested transactions
project), so the main purpose of this patch is to avoid future code
duplication.

(materialization into a tuple store) discussed on pgsql-hackers earlier.
I've updated the documentation and the regression tests.
Notes on the implementation:
- I needed to change the tuple store API slightly -- it assumes that it
won't be used to hold data across transaction boundaries, so the temp
files that it uses for on-disk storage are automatically reclaimed at
end-of-transaction. I added a flag to tuplestore_begin_heap() to control
this behavior. Is changing the tuple store API in this fashion OK?
- in order to store executor results in a tuple store, I added a new
CommandDest. This works well for the most part, with one exception: the
current DestFunction API doesn't provide enough information to allow the
Executor to store results into an arbitrary tuple store (where the
particular tuple store to use is chosen by the call site of
ExecutorRun). To workaround this, I've temporarily hacked up a solution
that works, but is not ideal: since the receiveTuple DestFunction is
passed the portal name, we can use that to lookup the Portal data
structure for the cursor and then use that to get at the tuple store the
Portal is using. This unnecessarily ties the Portal code with the
tupleReceiver code, but it works...
The proper fix for this is probably to change the DestFunction API --
Tom suggested passing the full QueryDesc to the receiveTuple function.
In that case, callers of ExecutorRun could "subclass" QueryDesc to add
any additional fields that their particular CommandDest needed to get
access to. This approach would work, but I'd like to think about it for
a little bit longer before deciding which route to go. In the mean time,
the code works fine, so I don't think a fix is urgent.
- (semi-related) I added a NO SCROLL keyword to DECLARE CURSOR, and
adjusted the behavior of SCROLL in accordance with the discussion on
-hackers.

at database shutdown, and then load it again at database startup. This
preserves our hard-won knowledge of free space across restarts (given
an orderly shutdown, that is).
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().
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).
