Bruce Momjian 3892dc75eb Add URLs for: 
* Simplify ability to create partitioned tables

  This would allow creation of partitioned tables without requiring
  creation of triggers or rules for INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, and constraints
  for rapid partition selection.  Options could include range and hash
  partition selection.

2^31 blocks.  Also fix pg_relpages() for the same case.

Tom Lane 6b0706ac33 Arrange for an explicit cast applied to an ARRAY[] constructor to be applied 
directly to all the member expressions, instead of the previous implementation
where the ARRAY[] constructor would infer a common element type and then we'd
coerce the finished array after the fact.  This has a number of benefits,
one being that we can allow an empty ARRAY[] construct so long as its
element type is specified by such a cast.

Brendan Jurd, minor fixes by me.

Tom Lane 68528d37bb Support a --no-tablespaces option in pg_dump/pg_dumpall/pg_restore, so that 
dumps can be loaded into databases without the same tablespaces that the
source had.  The option acts by suppressing all "SET default_tablespace"
commands, and also CREATE TABLESPACE commands in pg_dumpall's case.

Gavin Roy, with documentation and minor fixes by me.

Bruce Momjian 2f2b58d642 Spit items: 
* Experiment with multi-threaded backend better I/O utilization

  This would allow a single query to make use of multiple I/O channels
  simultaneously.  One idea is to create a background reader that can
  pre-fetch sequential and index scan pages needed by other backends.
  This could be expanded to allow concurrent reads from multiple devices
  in a partitioned table.

* Experiment with multi-threaded backend better CPU utilization

  This would allow several CPUs to be used for a single query, such as
  for sorting or query execution.

Tom Lane 033eb1581b Fix LISTEN/NOTIFY race condition reported by Laurent Birtz, by postponing 
pg_listener modifications commanded by LISTEN and UNLISTEN until the end
of the current transaction.  This allows us to hold the ExclusiveLock on
pg_listener until after commit, with no greater risk of deadlock than there
was before.  Aside from fixing the race condition, this gets rid of a
truly ugly kludge that was there before, namely having to ignore
HeapTupleBeingUpdated failures during NOTIFY.  There is a small potential
incompatibility, which is that if a transaction issues LISTEN or UNLISTEN
and then looks into pg_listener before committing, it won't see any resulting
row insertion or deletion, where before it would have.  It seems unlikely
that anyone would be depending on that, though.

This patch also disallows LISTEN and UNLISTEN inside a prepared transaction.
That case had some pretty undesirable properties already, such as possibly
allowing pg_listener entries to be made for PIDs no longer present, so
disallowing it seems like a better idea than trying to maintain the behavior.

Tom Lane f0828b2fc3 Provide a build-time option to store large relations as single files, rather 
than dividing them into 1GB segments as has been our longtime practice.  This
requires working support for large files in the operating system; at least for
the time being, it won't be the default.

Magnus Hagander 52a8d4f8f7 Implement enum type for guc parameters, and convert a couple of existing 
variables to it. More need to be converted, but I wanted to get this in
before it conflicts with too much...

Other than just centralising the text-to-int conversion for parameters,
this allows the pg_settings view to contain a list of available options
and allows an error hint to show what values are allowed.

Tom Lane d9384a4b73 Remove postmaster.c's check that NBuffers is at least twice MaxBackends. 
With the addition of multiple autovacuum workers, our choices were to delete
the check, document the interaction with autovacuum_max_workers, or complicate
the check to try to hide that interaction.  Since this restriction has never
been adequate to ensure backends can't run out of pinnable buffers, it doesn't
really have enough excuse to live to justify the second or third choices.
Per discussion of a complaint from Andreas Kling (see also bug #3888).

This commit also removes several documentation references to this restriction,
but I'm not sure I got them all.
