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,
parallel_schedule has been tweaked to run vacuum.sql by itself, to avoid
such failures during the regression tests.

Simplify tuplestore API so that the caller doesn't need to be in the right

automatically switches to the memory context used when the tuplestore was
created. Tuplesort was already modified like this earlier. This patch also
removes the now useless MemoryContextSwitch calls from callers.

processes of a pgbench run, when we are using -j > 1 and are emulating
threads via fork(). Otherwise the children all inherit the same random
sequence state and produce the same random-number sequence.
In the threaded case the different threads will share one RNG state, so
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
leave that case alone.

Different marking is used for a line break caused by a newline in the data
than for a straight wraparound. A newline break is signaled by a "+" in the
right margin column in ASCII mode, or a carriage return arrow in UNICODE mode.
Wraparound is signaled by a dot in the right margin as well as the following
left margin in ASCII mode, or an ellipsis symbol in the same places in UNICODE
mode. "\pset linestyle old-ascii" is added to make the previous behavior
available if anyone really wants it.
In passing, this commit also cleans up a few regression test files that

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
than one postgres-owned process hanging around.
Test coverage support now covers the entire source tree, including
contrib, instead of just src/backend. In a related but independent
development, the commands make coverage and make coverage-html can be run
in any directory.
This turned out to be much easier than feared. Besides a few ad hoc fixes
to pass the make target down the tree, change all affected makefiles to
list their directories in the SUBDIRS variable, changed from variants like
DIRS and WANTED_DIRS. MSVC build fix was attempted as well.

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
$ pgbench -n -S -c64 -j2 => tps = 17947.100954
$ pgbench -n -S -c64 -j4 => tps = 26571.124001
$ pgbench -n -S -c64 -j8 => tps = 52725.470403
$ pgbench -n -S -c64 -j16 => tps = 38976.675319
$ pgbench -n -S -c64 -j32 => tps = 28998.499601

The original syntax made it difficult to add options without making them
into reserved words. This change parenthesizes the options to avoid that
problem, and makes provision for an explicit (and perhaps non-Boolean)
value for each option. The original syntax is still supported, but only
for the two original options ANALYZE and VERBOSE.
As a test case, add a COSTS option that can suppress the planner cost
estimates. This may be useful for including EXPLAIN output in the regression
tests, which are otherwise unable to cope with cross-platform variations in
cost estimates.

create an ABI break between 8.3 and 8.4. It is still just a wrapper around
the built-in current_query() function, but at a different implementation
level. Per my proposal.
Note: this change doesn't break 8.4beta installations, since their
SQL-language definition of the function still works fine.
The original implementation of the 3-argument form of get_raw_page() risked
core dumps if the 8.3 SQL function definition was mistakenly used with the
8.4 module, which is entirely likely after a dump-and-reload upgrade. To
protect 8.4 beta testers against upgrade problems, add a check on PG_NARGS.
In passing, fix missed additions to the uninstall script, and polish the

the <@ and @> operators. These are not in fact equivalent to the built-in
anyarray operators of the same names, because they have different behavior for
empty arrays, namely they don't think empty arrays are contained in anything.
That is mathematically wrong, no doubt, but until we can persuade GIN indexes
to implement the mathematical definition we should probably not change this.
Another reason for not changing it now is that we can't yet ensure the
opclasses will be updated correctly in a dump-and-reload upgrade. Per
recent discussions.

that is to be done using the recovery_end_command now.
Provide a "smart" failover mode in pg_standby, where we don't fail over
immediately, but only after recovering all unapplied WAL from the archive.
That gives you zero data loss assuming all WAL was archived before
failover, which is what most users of pg_standby actually want.

Adjust the module's index opclasses to support the built-in operators in place

that they offer no real benefit over the core operators, however.
