support for a nonsegmented mode from md.c. Per recent discussions, there
doesn't seem to be much value in a "never segment" option as opposed to

While at it, expose a configure switch for BLCKSZ as well.

Push index operator lossiness determination down to GIST/GIN opclass
...
"consistent" functions, and remove pg_amop.opreqcheck, as per recent
discussion. The main immediate benefit of this is that we no longer need
8.3's ugly hack of requiring @@@ rather than @@ to test weight-using tsquery
searches on GIN indexes. In future it should be possible to optimize some
other queries better than is done now, by detecting at runtime whether the
index match is exact or not.

Phase 2 of project to make index operator lossiness be determined at runtime
...
instead of plan time. Extend the amgettuple API so that the index AM returns
a boolean indicating whether the indexquals need to be rechecked, and make
that rechecking happen in nodeIndexscan.c (currently the only place where
it's expected to be needed; other callers of index_getnext are just erroring
out for now). For the moment, GIN and GIST have stub logic that just always
sets the recheck flag to TRUE --- I'm hoping to get Teodor to handle pushing
that control down to the opclass consistent() functions. The planner no
longer pays any attention to amopreqcheck, and that catalog column will go
away in due course.

the server version check is now always enforced. Relax the version check to

version; this is the only case that -i was at all safe to use in.

really just a documentation change for it.

Replace "amgetmulti" AM functions with "amgetbitmap", in which the whole
...
indexscan always occurs in one call, and the results are returned in a
TIDBitmap instead of a limited-size array of TIDs. This should improve
speed a little by reducing AM entry/exit overhead, and it is necessary
infrastructure if we are ever to support bitmap indexes.
In an only slightly related change, add support for TIDBitmaps to preserve
(somewhat lossily) the knowledge that particular TIDs reported by an index
need to have their quals rechecked when the heap is visited. This facility
is not really used yet; we'll need to extend the forced-recheck feature to
plain indexscans before it's useful, and that hasn't been coded yet.
The intent is to use it to clean up 8.3's horrid @@@ kluge for text search
with weighted queries. There might be other uses in future, but that one
alone is sufficient reason.

Re-implement division for numeric values using the traditional "schoolbook"
...
algorithm. This is a good deal slower than our old roundoff-error-prone
code for long inputs, so we keep the old code for use in the transcendental
functions, where everything is approximate anyway. Also create a
user-accessible function div(numeric, numeric) to provide access to the
exact result of trunc(x/y) --- since the regular numeric / operator will
round off its result, simply computing that expression in SQL doesn't
reliably give the desired answer. This fixes bug #3387 and various related
corner cases, and improves the usefulness of PG for high-precision integer
arithmetic.

that is commands that have out-of-line parameters but the plan is prepared
assuming that the parameter values are constants. This is needed for the
plpgsql EXECUTE USING patch, but will probably have use elsewhere.
This commit includes the SPI functions and documentation, but no callers
nor regression tests. The upcoming EXECUTE USING patch will provide
regression-test coverage. I thought committing this separately made
sense since it's logically a distinct feature.

Use error message wordings for permissions checks on .pgpass and SSL private
...
key files that are similar to the one for the postmaster's data directory
permissions check. (I chose to standardize on that one since it's the most
heavily used and presumably best-wordsmithed by now.) Also eliminate explicit
tests on file ownership in these places, since the ensuing read attempt must
fail anyway if it's wrong, and there seems no value in issuing the same error
message for distinct problems. (But I left in the explicit ownership test in
postmaster.c, since it had its own error message anyway.) Also be more
specific in the documentation's descriptions of these checks. Per a gripe
from Kevin Hunter.

This requires a working 64-bit integer type. If such a type cannot

back to the previous floating point-based datetime implementation.

Simplify and standardize conversions between TEXT datums and ordinary C
...
strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text,
cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and
two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of
existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed.
Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one
function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used
to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin,
and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via
memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though).
This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory
leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach
text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few
places where it was easy, but much more could be done.

Add a new ereport auxiliary function errdetail_log(), which works the same as

errdetail except the string goes only to the server log, replacing the normal
errdetail there. This provides a reasonably clean way of dealing with error
