"optimization". When we find a potentially useful joinclause, we
have to add all its other required_relids to the result, not only the
other clause_relids. They are different in the case of a joinclause
whose applicability has to be postponed due to outer join. We have
to include the extra rels because otherwise, after best_inner_indexscan
masks the join rels with index_outer_relids, it will always fail to
find the joinclause as applicable. Per report from Husam Tomeh.
in which invalid page data could be transiently written to disk by
concurrent bgwriter activity. There doesn't seem any risk of loss of
actual user data, but an empty page could possibly be left corrupt if a
crash occurs before the correct data gets written out. Pointed out by

already changed initdb in a way that assumed it worked like this, seems
we'd better make it work like this.

Make pg_reload_conf(), pg_rotate_logfile(), and pg_cancel_backend()
return a boolean rather than an integer to indicate success or failure.
Along the way, make some minor cleanups to dbsize.c -- in particular,
use elog() rather than ereport() for "shouldn't happen" error
conditions, and remove some of the more flagrant violations of the
Postgres indentation conventions.

bytes. This shouldn't make any difference on x86 machines, where the size
happened to be 16 bytes anyway, but on 64-bit machines and machines with
slock_t int or wider, it will speed array indexing and hopefully reduce
SMP cache contention effects. Per recent experimentation.
the builtin functions (although some more entries are still needed),
and remove the duplicate index entries that have been causing
collateindex.pl warnings. Consistently use "int" and "bigint", rather
than a mix of "int", "integer", "int4", "bigint", and "int8". Make
parenthesis style in syntax examples more consistent. Various
copy-editing for newly-added documentation and SGML markup fixes.
