inserts and deletes alike as far as inval events are concerned. Some
repair work needed in heap_create_with_catalog, which turns out to have
been doing CommandCounterIncrement at a point where the new relation has
non-self-consistent catalog entries. With the new inval code, that
resulted in assert failures during a relcache entry rebuild.

by making the static variables extra_before and extra_after
automatic so we can use recursion.
It gets much easier to generate extra commands now, and one can rest
assured that the extra commands will be properly analyzed/rewritten.
Without this patch, if a command produced by transformation tries to
use these static lists their first contents would be lost with
unpredictable results. I know I could fix this by just using nconc()
instead of assignments, but the resulting order of the commands would
not be exactly what one could expect.

\connect commands. This makes it possible to restore databases belonging
to users who do not have CREATEDB privilege. It should also become at

Improve 'pg_internal.init' relcache entry preload mechanism so that it is
safe to use for all system catalogs, and arrange to preload a realistic
set of system-catalog entries instead of only the three nailed-in-cache
indexes that were formerly loaded this way. Fix mechanism for deleting
out-of-date pg_internal.init files: this must be synchronized with transaction
commit, not just done at random times within transactions. Drive it off
relcache invalidation mechanism so that no special-case tests are needed.
Cache additional information in relcache entries for indexes (their pg_index
tuples and index-operator OIDs) to eliminate repeated lookups. Also cache
index opclass info at the per-opclass level to avoid repeated lookups during
relcache load.
Generalize 'systable scan' utilities originally developed by Hiroshi,
move them into genam.c, use in a number of places where there was formerly
ugly code for choosing either heap or index scan. In particular this allows
simplification of the logic that prevents infinite recursion between syscache
and relcache during startup: we can easily switch to heapscans in relcache.c
when and where needed to avoid recursion, so IndexScanOK becomes simpler and
does not need any expensive initialization.
Eliminate useless opening of a heapscan data structure while doing an indexscan
(this saves an mdnblocks call and thus at least one kernel call).

Since horology test output is changing anyway, add some date/time input

Since the fix is applied during sequence creation it does not help

granted the lock when awakened; the signal now only means that the lock
is potentially available. The waiting process must retry its attempt
to get the lock when it gets to run. This allows the lock releasing
process to re-acquire the lock later in its timeslice. Since LWLocks
are usually held for short periods, it is possible for a process to
acquire and release the same lock many times in a timeslice. The old
spinlock-based implementation of these locks allowed for that; but the
original coding of LWLock would force a process swap for each acquisition
if there was any contention. Although this approach reopens the door to
process starvation (a waiter might repeatedly fail to get the lock),
the odds of that being a big problem seem low, and the performance cost
of the previous approach is considerable.

'volatile' pointers to access those structures, so that optimizing

The bug was that any insert or update would fail if the returned oid was
larger than a signed int. Since OIDs are unsigned int's it was
a bug that the code used a java signed int to deal with the values. The bug
would result in the error message: "Unable to fathom update count".
While fixing the bug, it became apparent that other code made a similar
assumption about OIDs being signed ints. Therefore some methods that returned
or took OIDs are arguements also needed to be changed.
Since we are so close to the 7.2 release I have added new methods that
return longs and deprecated the old methods returning ints. Therefore all
old code should still work without requiring a code change to cast from long to int. Also note that the methods below are PostgreSQL specific extensions to

they are used much or at all.

bpchar, bit, numeric with typmod -1. Alter format_type so that this
representation is printed when the typmod is -1. This ensures that
tables having such columns can be pg_dump'd and reloaded correctly.
Also, remove the rather useless and non-SQL-compliant default
precision and scale for type NUMERIC. A numeric column declared as
such (with no precision/scale) will now have typmod -1 which means
that numeric values of any precision/scale can be stored in it,
without conversion to a uniform scale. This seems significantly
more useful than the former behavior. Part of response to bug #513.
