names, and CREATE FUNCTION can insert data into it, but that's all as
yet. I need to do more work on the pg_dump and plpgsql portions of the
patch before committing those, but I thought I'd get the bulky changes
in before the tree drifts under me.

- Update comment in IsReservedName() to the present day
- Improve some variable & function names in commands/vacuum.c. I
was planning to rewrite this to avoid lappend(), but since I
still intend to do the list rewrite, there's no need for that.
- Update some smgr comments which seemed to imply that we still
forced all dirty pages to disk at commit-time.
- Replace some #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC code with assertions.
- Make the distinction between OS-level file descriptors and
virtual file descriptors a little clearer in a few comments
- Other minor comment improvements in the smgr code
regular qpqual ('filter condition'), add special-purpose code to
nodeIndexscan.c to recheck them. This ends being almost no net addition
of code, because the removal of planner code balances out the extra
executor code, but it is significantly more efficient when a lossy
operator is involved in an OR indexscan. The old implementation had
to recheck the entire indexqual in such cases.
with index qual clauses in the Path representation. This saves a little
work during createplan and (probably more importantly) allows reuse of
cached selectivity estimates during indexscan planning. Also fix latent
bug: wrong plan would have been generated for a 'special operator' used
in a nestloop-inner-indexscan join qual, because the special operator
would not have gotten into the list of quals to recheck. This bug is
only latent because at present the special-operator code could never
trigger on a join qual, but sooner or later someone will want to do it.
join conditions in which each OR subclause includes a constraint on
the same relation. This implements the other useful side-effect of
conversion to CNF format, without its unpleasant side-effects. As
per pghackers discussion of a few weeks ago.
run the data through cpp, and we know of at least one platform where
unusual cpp behavior breaks the process. So remove the cpp step,
and make consequent simplifications.
teaching the latter to accept either RestrictInfo nodes or bare
clause expressions; and cache the selectivity result in the RestrictInfo
node when possible. This extends the caching behavior of approx_selectivity
to many more contexts, and should reduce duplicate selectivity
calculations.
first time generate an OR indexscan for a two-column index when the WHERE
condition is like 'col1 = foo AND (col2 = bar OR col2 = baz)' --- before,
the OR had to be on the first column of the index or we'd not notice the
possibility of using it. Some progress towards extracting OR indexscans
from subclauses of an OR that references multiple relations, too, although
this code is #ifdef'd out because it needs more work.
fields: now they are valid whenever the clause is a binary opclause,
not only when it is a potential join clause (there is a new boolean
field canjoin to signal the latter condition). This lets us avoid
recomputing the relid sets over and over while examining indexes.
Still more work to do to make this as useful as it could be, because
there are places that could use the info but don't have access to the
RestrictInfo node.
just look for common clauses that can be pulled out of ORs. Per recent
discussion, extracting common clauses seems to be the only really useful
effect of normalization, and if we do it explicitly then we can avoid
cluttering the qual with partially-redundant duplicated expressions, which
was an unpleasant side-effect of the old approach.
call. You'd think this would cause some problems, but because of the
way hash_create is coded, the only side-effect was creation of a useless
memory context for the hashtable.
conditions is overkill; set_union() does the job about as well, and
much more efficiently. Furthermore this avoids assuming that
canonicalize_qual() will check for duplicate clauses at all, which
it may not always do.

this routine occupied a surprisingly large fraction of the total time
for the parser to process an operator.
about whether it is applied before or after eval_const_expressions().
I believe there were some corner cases where the system would fail to
recognize that a partial index is applicable because of the previous
inconsistency. Store normal rather than 'implicit AND' representations
of constraints and index predicates in the catalogs.

This seems cleaner, and also opens the door to making the choice be

The patch basically is a slight rearrangement of the code to allow
fork/exec on Unix, with the ultimate goal of doing CreateProcess on
Win32. The changes are:
o Write out postmaster global variables and per-backend
variables to be read by the exec'ed backend
o Mark some static variables as global when exec is used so
then can be dumped from postmaster.c, marked NON_EXEC_STATIC
o Remove value passing with -p now that we have per-backend
file
o Move some pointer storage out of shared memory for easier
dumping.
o Modified pgsql_temp directory cleanup to handle per-database
directories and the backend exec directory under datadir.

to step more than one entry after descending the search tree to arrive at
the correct place to start the scan. This can improve the behavior
substantially when there are many entries equal to the chosen boundary
value. Per suggestion from Dmitry Tkach, 14-Jul-03.
a) ones that are 100% backward (such as the comment about
outputting this format)
and
b) ones that aren't (such as deprecating the current
postgresql shorthand of
'1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 minute
in favor of the ISO-8601
'P1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 month.
Attached is a patch that addressed all the discussed issues that
did not break backward compatability, including the ability to
output ISO-8601 compliant intervals by setting datestyle to
iso8601basic.
Interval values can now be written as ISO 8601 time intervals, using
the "Format with time-unit designators". This format always starts with
the character 'P', followed by a string of values followed
by single character time-unit designators. A 'T' separates the date and
time parts of the interval.
