Implement COMMIT_SIBLINGS parameter to allow pre-commit delay to occur
...
only if at least N other backends currently have open transactions. This
is not a great deal of intelligence about whether a delay might be
profitable ... but it beats no intelligence at all. Note that the default
COMMIT_DELAY is still zero --- this new code does nothing unless that
setting is changed.
Also, mark ENABLEFSYNC as a system-wide setting. It's no longer safe to
allow that to be set per-backend, since we may be relying on some other
backend's fsync to have synced the WAL log.

Restructure the key include files per recent pghackers discussion: there

are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.

As an example, say we wish to find all the records that

effect, we need to compare the temp_lo and temp_hi
attributes of each EMP instance to the temp_lo and

I believe that EMP should read WEATHER, as the example query that

EMP is often used in Oracle examples.

Significant cleanups in SysV IPC handling (shared mem and semaphores).

IPC key assignment will now work correctly even when multiple postmasters
are using same logical port number (which is possible given -k switch).

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.

Make version.sgml the central place for updating version numbers in the

filelist.sgml is the central (and only) place to declare system entities

header.
There is no longer any need to maintain duplicate chapter lists in
postgres.sgml and user/admin/etc.sgml, everything is build from the same
sources. Some parameter entities allow for different text to be included
when the integrated or a single doc set is generated, which eliminates the
problems that had caused this to fail in the past.

Revise handling of oldstyle/newstyle functions per recent discussions
...
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.

Change SearchSysCache coding conventions so that a reference count is
...
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.

I think in datatype.sgml line 506 or so:
...
<entry>varchar(n)</entry>
<entry>(4+x) bytes</entry>
should be
<entry>varchar(n)</entry>
<entry>(4+n) bytes</entry>
or
<entry>varchar(x)</entry>
<entry>(4+x) bytes</entry>

Extend CREATE DATABASE to allow selection of a template database to be
...
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!
