database's datallowconn and datfrozenxid to the current transaction ID
instead of copying the source database's values. This is OK because we
assume the source DB contains no normal transaction IDs whatsoever.
This keeps VACUUM from immediately starting to complain about unvacuumed
databases in the situation where we are more than 2 billion transactions
out from the XID stamp of template0. Per discussion with Milen Radev
(although his complaint turned out to be due to something else, but the
problem is real anyway).
can tell whether it is being used as an aggregate or not. This allows
such a function to avoid re-pallocing a pass-by-reference transition
value; normally it would be unsafe for a function to scribble on an input,
but in the aggregate case it's safe to reuse the old transition value.
Make int8inc() do this. This gets a useful improvement in the speed of
COUNT(*), at least on narrow tables (it seems to be swamped by I/O when
the table rows are wide). Per a discussion in early December with
Neil Conway. I also fixed int_aggregate.c to check this, thereby
turning it into something approaching a supportable technique instead
of being a crude hack.
0.9.7x have EVP_DigestFinal function which which clears all of
EVP_MD_CTX. This makes pgcrypto crash in functions which
re-use one digest context several times: hmac() and crypt()
with md5 algorithm.
Following patch fixes it by carring the digest info around
EVP_DigestFinal and re-initializing cipher.

elog if the former has trouble writing its file. Code review for
Magnus' patch to redirect stderr to syslog on Windows (Bruce's version
seems right, but did some minor prettification).
Backpatch both changes to 8.0 branch.
Document use of macros for pg_printf functions.
Bump major versions of all interfaces to handle movement of get_progname
from libpq to libpgport in 8.0, and probably other libpgport changes in 8.1.
Formerly, if such a clause contained no aggregate functions we mistakenly
treated it as equivalent to WHERE. Per spec it must cause the query to
be treated as a grouped query of a single group, the same as appearance
of aggregate functions would do. Also, the HAVING filter must execute
after aggregate function computation even if it itself contains no
aggregate functions.
before we can invoke fork() -- flush stdio buffers, save and restore the
profiling timer on Linux with LINUX_PROFILE, and handle BeOS stuff. This
patch moves that code into a single function, fork_process(), instead of
duplicating it at the various callsites of fork().
This patch doesn't address the EXEC_BACKEND case; there is room for
further cleanup there.
number of palloc calls. This has a salutory impact on plpgsql operations
with record variables (which create and destroy tupdescs constantly)
and probably helps a bit in some other cases too.
Too much space is allocated for tablespace file path, I guess the
directory name used to be "pg_tablespaces" instead of "pg_tblspc" at
some point.
