agreement with what the backend grammar actually accepts (which is a
bit looser than what its documentation claims). Per report from Bill
Moran, though I did not use his patch since it removed all the
undocumented flexibility that the code historically had and the backend
still has.
whereToSendOutput instead because they are really inquiring about
the correct client communication protocol. Update some comments.
This is pointing towards supporting regular FE/BE client protocol
in a standalone backend, per discussion a month or so back.
- Fixed prototype for ECPGprepared_statement to not moan about "const char"
- Fixed parsing of nested structures.
- Added option to parse header files.
unnecessary checks for complex grouping expressions: we cannot check
whether the expressions are simple Vars until after we apply
flatten_join_alias_vars, because in the case of FULL JOIN that routine
can introduce non-Var expressions. Per example from Joel Knight.
composite types, because TupleTableSlots aren't Datums and can't be
stored in Const nodes. We can remove this restriction if we ever
adopt a cleaner runtime representation for whole-tuple results, but
at the moment it's broken. Per example from Thomas Hallgren.
against the latest shapshot. It also includes the replacement of kill()
with pqkill() and sigsetmask() with pqsigsetmask().
Passes all tests fine on my linux machine once applied. Still doesn't
link completely on Win32 - there are a few things still required. But
much closer than before.
At Bruce's request, I'm goint to write up a README file about the method
of signals delivery chosen and why the others were rejected (basically a
summary of the mailinglist discussions). I'll finish that up once/if the
patch is accepted.

PostmasterPid variable, which gets set (early) in PostmasterMain
getppid would not be the postmaster?
[fork/exec] Implements processCancelRequest by keeping an array of
pid/cancel_key structs in shared mem
[fork/exec] Moves AttachSharedMemoryAndSemaphores call for backends into
SubPostmasterMain
[win32] Implements reaper/waitpid by keeping an arrays of children
pids,handles in postmaster local mem
- this item is largely untested, for reasons which should be
obvious, but appears sound
[win32/all] Added extern for pgpipe in Win32 case, and changed the second
pipe call (which seems to have been missed earlier) to pgpipe
[win32] #define'd ftruncate to chsize in the Win32 case
[win32] PG_USLEEP for Win32 has a misplaced paren. Fixed.

by Neil Conway.
complete ExtendCLOG() before advancing nextXid, so that if that routine
fails, the next incoming transaction will try it again. Per trouble
report from Christopher Kings-Lynne.
way to fix this is probably implementing safe memory handling functions
once in a static lib and then using that in the various client apps,
but for the moment I've just reverted the change to un-break the tree.
done by the background writer between writing dirty blocks and
napping.
none (default) no action
sync bgwriter calls smgrsync() causing a sync(2)
A global sync() is only good on dedicated database servers, so
more flush methods should be added in the future.

little more sane. Some parts of the code was using a static function
xmalloc() that did safe memory allocation (where "safe" means "bail
out on OOM"), but most of it was just invoking calloc() or malloc()
directly. Now almost everything invokes xmalloc() or xcalloc().
IN (sub-SELECT) constructs. We must force a clauseless join of the
sub-select member relations, but it wasn't happening because the code
thought it would be able to use the join clause arising from the IN.
that it's good to join where there are join clauses rather than where there
are not. Also enable it to generate bushy plans at need, so that it doesn't
fail in the presence of multiple IN clauses containing sub-joins. These
changes appear to improve the behavior enough that we can substantially reduce
the default pool size and generations count, thereby decreasing the runtime,
and yet get as good or better plans as we were getting in 7.4. Consequently,
adjust the default GEQO parameters. I also modified the way geqo_effort is
used so that it affects both population size and number of generations;
it's now useful as a single control to adjust the GEQO runtime-vs-plan-quality
tradeoff. Bump geqo_threshold to 12, since even with these changes GEQO
seems to be slower than the regular planner at 11 relations.
patch: a 3-value enum was mistakenly assigned directly to a 'bool'
in transformCreateStmt(). Along the way, change makeObjectName()
to be static, as it isn't used outside analyze.c
