There was an incorrect Assert in hstoreValidOldFormat(), which would cause
immediate core dumps when attempting to work with pre-9.0 hstore data,
but of course only in an assert-enabled build.
Also, ghstore_decompress() incorrectly applied DatumGetHStoreP() to a datum
that wasn't actually an hstore, but rather a ghstore (ie, a gist signature
bitstring). That used to be harmless, but could now result in misbehavior
if the hstore format conversion code happened to trigger. In reality,
since ghstore is not marked toastable (and doesn't need to be), this
function is useless anyway; we can lobotomize it down to returning the
passed-in pointer.

in versions >= 8.3). The core code is more robust and efficient than what
was there before, and this also reduces risks involved in swapping different
libxml error handler settings.
Before 8.3, there is still some risk of problems if add-on modules such as
Perl invoke libxml without setting their own error handler. Given the lack
of reports I'm not sure there's a risk in practice, so I didn't take the
step of actually duplicating the core code into older contrib/xml2 branches.
Instead I just tweaked the existing code to ensure it didn't leave a dangling
pointer to short-lived memory when throwing an error.
This involves modifying the module to have a stable ABI, that is, the
xslt_process() function still exists even without libxslt. It throws a
runtime error if called, but doesn't prevent executing the CREATE FUNCTION
call. This is a good thing anyway to simplify cross-version upgrades.
These are unnecessary and probably dangerous. I don't see any immediate
risk situations in the core XML support or contrib/xml2 itself, but there
could be issues with external uses of libxml2, and in any case it's an
accident waiting to happen.
Get rid of the code that attempted to funnel libxml2's memory allocations
into palloc. We already knew from experience with the core xml datatype
that trying to do this is simply not reliable. Unlike the core code, I
did not bother adding a lot of PG_TRY/PG_CATCH logic to try to ensure that
everything is cleaned up on error exit. Hence, we might leak some memory
if one of these functions fails partway through. Given the deprecated
status of this contrib module and the fact that errors partway through
the functions shouldn't be too common, it doesn't seem worth worrying about.
Also fix a separate bug in xpath_table, that it did the wrong things
if given a result tuple descriptor with less than 2 columns. While
such a case isn't very useful in practice, we shouldn't fail or stomp
memory when it occurs.
Add some simple regression tests based on all the reported crash cases
that I have on hand.
This should be back-patched, but let's see if the buildfarm likes it first.
The main motivation for changing this is bug #4921, in which it's pointed out
that it's no longer safe to apply ltree operations to the result of
ARRAY(SELECT ...) if the sub-select might return no rows. Before 8.3,
the ARRAY() construct would return NULL, which might or might not be helpful
but at least it wouldn't result in an error. Now it returns an empty array
which results in a failure for no good reason, since the ltree operations
are all perfectly capable of dealing with zero-element arrays.
As far as I can find, these ltree functions are the only places where zero
array dimensionality is rejected unnecessarily.
Back-patch to 8.3 to prevent behavioral regression of queries that worked
in older releases.
The purpose of this change is to eliminate the need for every caller
of SearchSysCache, SearchSysCacheCopy, SearchSysCacheExists,
GetSysCacheOid, and SearchSysCacheList to know the maximum number
of allowable keys for a syscache entry (currently 4). This will
make it far easier to increase the maximum number of keys in a
future release should we choose to do so, and it makes the code
shorter, too.

of shared or nailed system catalogs. This has two key benefits:
* The new CLUSTER-based VACUUM FULL can be applied safely to all catalogs.
* We no longer have to use an unsafe reindex-in-place approach for reindexing
shared catalogs.
CLUSTER on nailed catalogs now works too, although I left it disabled on
shared catalogs because the resulting pg_index.indisclustered update would
only be visible in one database.
Since reindexing shared system catalogs is now fully transactional and
crash-safe, the former special cases in REINDEX behavior have been removed;
shared catalogs are treated the same as non-shared.
This commit does not do anything about the recently-discussed problem of
deadlocks between VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER on a system catalog and other
concurrent queries; will address that in a separate patch. As a stopgap,

they will produce different subsets of one sequence, which is maybe more
correlated than a purist would like but will not be "the same". So we

script.
To do this, have pg_ctl pass down its parent shell's PID in an environment
variable PG_GRANDPARENT_PID, and teach CreateLockFile() to disregard that PID
as a false match if it finds it in postmaster.pid. This allows us to cope
with one level of postgres-owned shell process even with pg_ctl in the way,
so it's just as safe as starting the postmaster directly. You still have to
be careful about how you write the initscript though.
Adjust the comments in contrib/start-scripts/ to not deprecate use of
pg_ctl. Also, fix the ROTATELOGS option in the OSX script, which was
indulging in exactly the sort of unsafe coding that renders this fix
pointless :-(. A pipe inside the "sudo" will probably result in more

Following is the proposal from ITAGAKI Takahiro:
Pgbench is a famous tool to measure postgres performance, but nowadays
it does not work well because it cannot use multiple CPUs. On the other
hand, postgres server can use CPUs very well, so the bottle-neck of
workload is *in pgbench*.
Multi-threading would be a solution. The attached patch adds -j
(number of jobs) option to pgbench. If the value N is greater than 1,
pgbench runs with N threads. Connections are equally-divided into
them (ex. -c64 -j4 => 4 threads with 16 connections each). It can
run on POSIX platforms with pthread and on Windows with win32 threads.
Here are results of multi-threaded pgbench runs on Fedora 11 with intel
core i7 (8 logical cores = 4 physical cores * HT). -j8 (8 threads) was
the best and the tps is 4.5 times of -j1, that is a traditional result.
$ pgbench -i -s10
$ pgbench -n -S -c64 -j1 => tps = 11600.158593

The original syntax made it difficult to add options without making them
