Tom Lane 23a9ac618e Some more work on the 8.4 release notes. Document a few changes that Bruce

Tom Lane 06e2757277 Remove SQL-compatibility function cardinality(). It is not exactly clear
how this ought to behave for multi-dimensional arrays.  Per discussion,
not having it at all seems better than having it with what might prove
to be the wrong behavior.  We can always add it later when we have consensus
on the correct behavior.

Tom Lane d1e384884c Update back-branch release notes. 2008-10-30 22:22:24 +00:00
Heikki Linnakangas 15c121b3ed Rewrite the FSM. Instead of relying on a fixed-size shared memory segment, the
free space information is stored in a dedicated FSM relation fork, with each
relation (except for hash indexes; they don't use FSM).

This eliminates the max_fsm_relations and max_fsm_pages GUC options; remove any
trace of them from the backend, initdb, and documentation.

Rewrite contrib/pg_freespacemap to match the new FSM implementation. Also
introduce a new variant of the get_raw_page(regclass, int4, int4) function in
contrib/pageinspect that let's you to return pages from any relation fork, and
a new fsm_page_contents() function to inspect the new FSM pages.
