OIDs rather than names. Aside from being simpler and faster, this way
doesn't blow up in the face of 'create temp table foo () inherits (foo)'.
Which is a rather odd thing to do, but it seems some people want to.
value greater than one. The behavior this sought to disallow doesn't
seem any less confusing than the other behaviors of cached sequences.
Improve wording of some error messages, too.
Update documentation accordingly. Also add an explanation that
aborted transactions do not roll back their nextval() calls; this
seems to be a FAQ, so it ought to be mentioned here...
I believe this should fix the issue that Philip Warner
noticed about the check for unique constraints meeting the
referenced keys of a foreign key constraint allowing the
specification of a subset of a foreign key instead of
rejecting it. I also added tests for a base case of
this to the foreign key and alter table tests and patches
for expected output.
IPC key assignment will now work correctly even when multiple postmasters
are using same logical port number (which is possible given -k switch).
There is only one shared-mem segment per postmaster now, not 3.
Rip out broken code for non-TAS case in bufmgr and xlog, substitute a
complete S_LOCK emulation using semaphores in spin.c. TAS and non-TAS
logic is now exactly the same.
When deadlock is detected, "Deadlock detected" is now the elog(ERROR)
message, rather than a NOTICE that comes out before an unhelpful ERROR.
in pghackers list. Support for oldstyle internal functions is gone
(no longer needed, since conversion is complete) and pg_language entry
'internal' now implies newstyle call convention. pg_language entry
'newC' is gone; both old and newstyle dynamically loaded C functions
are now called language 'C'. A newstyle function must be identified
by an associated info routine. See src/backend/utils/fmgr/README.
maintained for each cache entry. A cache entry will not be freed until
the matching ReleaseSysCache call has been executed. This eliminates
worries about cache entries getting dropped while still in use. See
my posting to pg-hackers of even date for more info.
Context diff this time.
Remove -m486 compile args for FreeBSD-i386, compile -O2 on i386.
Compile with only -O on alpha for codegen safety.
Make the port use the TEST_AND_SET for alpha and i386 on FreeBSD.
Fix a lot of bogus string formats for outputting pointers (cast to int
and %u/%x replaced with no cast and %p), and 'Size'(size_t) are now
cast to 'unsigned long' and output with %lu/
Remove an unused variable.

cloned, rather than always cloning template1. Modify initdb to generate
two identical databases rather than one, template0 and template1.
Connections to template0 are disallowed, so that it will always remain
in its virgin as-initdb'd state. pg_dumpall now dumps databases with
restore commands that say CREATE DATABASE foo WITH TEMPLATE = template0.
This allows proper behavior when there is user-added data in template1.
initdb forced!
that search loops only have to scan that far and not through all maxBackends
entries. This eliminates a performance penalty for setting maxBackends
much higher than the average number of active backends. Also, eliminate
no-longer-used 'backend tag' concept. Remove setting of environment
variables at backend start (except for CYR_RECODE), since none of them
are being examined by the backend any longer.
joins, and clean things up a good deal at the same time. Append plan node
no longer hacks on rangetable at runtime --- instead, all child tables are
given their own RT entries during planning. Concept of multiple target
tables pushed up into execMain, replacing bug-prone implementation within
nodeAppend. Planner now supports generating Append plans for inheritance
sets either at the top of the plan (the old way) or at the bottom. Expanding
at the bottom is appropriate for tables used as sources, since they may
appear inside an outer join; but we must still expand at the top when the
target of an UPDATE or DELETE is an inheritance set, because we actually need
a different targetlist and junkfilter for each target table in that case.
Fortunately a target table can't be inside an outer join... Bizarre mutual
recursion between union_planner and prepunion.c is gone --- in fact,
union_planner doesn't really have much to do with union queries anymore,
so I renamed it grouping_planner.
(WAL logging for this is not done yet, however.) Clean up a number of really
crufty things that are no longer needed now that DROP behaves nicely. Make
temp table mapper do the right things when drop or rename affecting a temp
table is rolled back. Also, remove "relation modified while in use" error
check, in favor of locking tables at first reference and holding that lock
throughout the statement.
ExecutorRun. This allows LIMIT to work in a view. Also, LIMIT in a
cursor declaration will behave in a reasonable fashion, whereas before
it was overridden by the FETCH count.
MULTIBYTE support is not compiled (you just can't set them to anything
but SQL_ASCII). This should reduce interoperability problems between
MB-enabled clients and non-MB-enabled servers.
as well allow DROP multiple INDEX, RULE, TYPE as well. Add missing
CommandCounterIncrement to DROP loop, which could cause trouble otherwise
with multiple DROP of items affecting same catalog entries. Try to
bring a little consistency to various error messages using 'does not exist',
'nonexistent', etc --- I standardized on 'does not exist' since that's
what the vast majority of the existing uses seem to be.
it previously. The patch included is against fairly current sources, but
it may apply cleanly against 7.0.2 as well.

took some rejiggering of typename and ACL parsing, as well as moving
parse_analyze call out of parser(). Restructure postgres.c processing
so that parse analysis and rewrite are skipped when in abort-transaction
state. Only COMMIT and ABORT statements will be processed beyond the raw
parser() phase. This addresses problem of parser failing with database access
errors while in aborted state (see pghackers discussions around 7/28/00).
Also fix some bugs with COMMIT/ABORT statements appearing in the middle of
a single query input string.
Function, operator, and aggregate arguments/results can now use full
TypeName production, in particular foo[] for array types.
DROP OPERATOR and COMMENT ON OPERATOR were broken for unary operators.
Allow CREATE AGGREGATE to accept unquoted numeric constants for initcond.
SQL92 semantics, including support for ALL option. All three can be used
in subqueries and views. DISTINCT and ORDER BY work now in views, too.
This rewrite fixes many problems with cross-datatype UNIONs and INSERT/SELECT
where the SELECT yields different datatypes than the INSERT needs. I did
that by making UNION subqueries and SELECT in INSERT be treated like
subselects-in-FROM, thereby allowing an extra level of targetlist where the
datatype conversions can be inserted safely.
INITDB NEEDED!
working on the VERY latest version of BeOS. I'm sure there will be
alot of comments, but then if there weren't I'd be disappointed!
Thanks for your continuing efforts to get this into your tree.
Haven't bothered with the new files as they haven't changed.
BTW Peter, the compiler is "broken" about the bool define and so on.
I'm filing a bug report to try and get it addressed. Hopefully then we
can tidy up the code a bit.
I await the replies with interest :)

(Don't forget that an alias is required.) Views reimplemented as expanding
to subselect-in-FROM. Grouping, aggregates, DISTINCT in views actually
work now (he says optimistically). No UNION support in subselects/views
yet, but I have some ideas about that. Rule-related permissions checking
moved out of rewriter and into executor.
INITDB REQUIRED!
