from Abhijit Menon-Sen, minor editorialization from Neil Conway. Also,
improve md5(text) to allocate a constant-sized buffer on the stack
rather than via palloc.
Catalog version bumped.
Also, remove the rather useless return value of LockReleaseAll. Change
response to detection of corruption in the shared lock tables to PANIC,
since that is the only way of cleaning up fully.
Originally an idea of Heikki Linnakangas, variously hacked on by
Alvaro Herrera and Tom Lane.
communication structure, and make it its own module with its own lock.
This should reduce contention at least a little, and it definitely makes
the code seem cleaner. Per my recent proposal.
* Made DELETE into "DELETE FROM"
* Moved ANALZYE to the end of the list to ease EXPLAIN / VACUUM
conflicts
* Removed the ANALYZE xx semicolon completion: we don't do that anywhere
else
* Add DECLARE support
* Add parens for DROP AGGREGATE
* Add "CASCADE | RESTRICT" for DROP xx
* Make EXPLAIN <tab> a lot smarter
* GROUP "BY" and ORDER "BY"
* "ISOLATION" becomes "ISOLATION LEVEL"
* Fix error in which REVOKE xx ON yy was receiving "TO", now gets "FROM"
* Add GRANT/REVOKE xx ON yy TO/FROM choices: usernames, GROUP, PUBLIC
* PREPARE xx <tab> AS "SELECT | INSERT | UPDATE | DELETE"
* Add = at end of UPDATE xx SET yy
* Beef up VACUUM stuff
for testing PLs and contrib_regression for testing contrib, instead of
overwriting the core system's regression database as formerly done.

external projects, we should be careful about what parts of the GiST
API are considered implementation details, and which are part of the
public API. Therefore, I've moved internal-only declarations into
gist_private.h -- future backward-incompatible changes to gist.h should
be made with care, to avoid needlessly breaking external GiST extensions.
Also did some related header cleanup: remove some unnecessary #includes
from gist.h, and remove some unused definitions: isAttByVal(), _gistdump(),
and GISTNStrategies.
- make sure we always invoke user-supplied GiST methods in a short-lived
memory context. This means the backend isn't exposed to any memory leaks
that be in those methods (in fact, it is probably a net loss for most
GiST methods to bother manually freeing memory now). This also means
we can do away with a lot of ugly manual memory management in the
GiST code itself.
- keep the current page of a GiST index scan pinned, rather than doing a
ReadBuffer() for each tuple produced by the scan. Since ReadBuffer() is
expensive, this is a perf. win
- implement dead tuple killing for GiST indexes (which is easy to do, now
that we keep a pin on the current scan page). Now all the builtin indexes
implement dead tuple killing.
- cleanup a lot of ugly code in GiST
than one heap page represented in the bitmap. This is a bit ugly but
it cuts overhead fairly effectively in simple join cases. Per example

in an inconsistent state. (This is only latent because in reality
ExecSeqRestrPos is dead code at the moment ... but someday maybe it won't
be.) Add some comments about what the API for plan node mark/restore
actually is, because it's not immediately obvious.
when the blocks list is empty (there can surely be no freelist items if
the context contains no memory), and use MemSetAligned not MemSet to
clear the headers (we assume alignof(pointer) >= alignof(int32)).
Per discussion with Atsushi Ogawa. He proposes some further hacking
that I'm not yet sold on, but these two changes are unconditional wins
since there is no case in which they make things slower.
When one side of the join has a NULL, we don't want to uselessly try
to match it against every remaining tuple of the other side. While
at it, rewrite the comparison machinery to avoid multiple evaluations
of the left and right input expressions and to use a btree comparator
where available, instead of double operator calls. Also revise the
state machine to eliminate redundant comparisons and hopefully make it
more readable too.
AtCommit_Portals is restarted when a portal is deleted. This is
necessary since the deletion of a portal may cause the deletion of
another which on rare occations may cause the iterator to return a
deleted portal an thus a renewed attempt delete.
