support for a nonsegmented mode from md.c. Per recent discussions, there
doesn't seem to be much value in a "never segment" option as opposed to

While at it, expose a configure switch for BLCKSZ as well.

Push index operator lossiness determination down to GIST/GIN opclass
...
"consistent" functions, and remove pg_amop.opreqcheck, as per recent
discussion. The main immediate benefit of this is that we no longer need
8.3's ugly hack of requiring @@@ rather than @@ to test weight-using tsquery
searches on GIN indexes. In future it should be possible to optimize some
other queries better than is done now, by detecting at runtime whether the
index match is exact or not.

Phase 2 of project to make index operator lossiness be determined at runtime
...
instead of plan time. Extend the amgettuple API so that the index AM returns
a boolean indicating whether the indexquals need to be rechecked, and make
that rechecking happen in nodeIndexscan.c (currently the only place where
it's expected to be needed; other callers of index_getnext are just erroring
out for now). For the moment, GIN and GIST have stub logic that just always
sets the recheck flag to TRUE --- I'm hoping to get Teodor to handle pushing
that control down to the opclass consistent() functions. The planner no
longer pays any attention to amopreqcheck, and that catalog column will go
away in due course.

the server version check is now always enforced. Relax the version check to

really just a documentation change for it.

Replace "amgetmulti" AM functions with "amgetbitmap", in which the whole
...
indexscan always occurs in one call, and the results are returned in a
TIDBitmap instead of a limited-size array of TIDs. This should improve
speed a little by reducing AM entry/exit overhead, and it is necessary
infrastructure if we are ever to support bitmap indexes.
In an only slightly related change, add support for TIDBitmaps to preserve
(somewhat lossily) the knowledge that particular TIDs reported by an index
need to have their quals rechecked when the heap is visited. This facility
is not really used yet; we'll need to extend the forced-recheck feature to
plain indexscans before it's useful, and that hasn't been coded yet.
The intent is to use it to clean up 8.3's horrid @@@ kluge for text search
with weighted queries. There might be other uses in future, but that one
alone is sufficient reason.

Re-implement division for numeric values using the traditional "schoolbook"
...
algorithm. This is a good deal slower than our old roundoff-error-prone
code for long inputs, so we keep the old code for use in the transcendental
functions, where everything is approximate anyway. Also create a
user-accessible function div(numeric, numeric) to provide access to the
exact result of trunc(x/y) --- since the regular numeric / operator will
round off its result, simply computing that expression in SQL doesn't
reliably give the desired answer. This fixes bug #3387 and various related
corner cases, and improves the usefulness of PG for high-precision integer
arithmetic.

tests on file ownership in these places, since the ensuing read attempt must
fail anyway if it's wrong, and there seems no value in issuing the same error
message for distinct problems. (But I left in the explicit ownership test in
postmaster.c, since it had its own error message anyway.) Also be more
specific in the documentation's descriptions of these checks. Per a gripe
from Kevin Hunter.

Enable 64-bit integer datetimes by default, per previous discussion.

This requires a working 64-bit integer type. If such a type cannot
be found, "--disable-integer-datetimes" can be used to switch
back to the previous floating point-based datetime implementation.

Simplify and standardize conversions between TEXT datums and ordinary C
...
strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text,
cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and
two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of
existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed.
Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one
function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used
to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin,
and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via
memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though).
This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory
leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach
text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few
places where it was easy, but much more could be done.

Add a new ereport auxiliary function errdetail_log(), which works the same as

errdetail except the string goes only to the server log, replacing the normal
errdetail there. This provides a reasonably clean way of dealing with error
details that are too security-sensitive or too bulky to send to the client.
This commit just adds the infrastructure --- actual uses to follow.

Arrange for an explicit cast applied to an ARRAY[] constructor to be applied
...
directly to all the member expressions, instead of the previous implementation
where the ARRAY[] constructor would infer a common element type and then we'd
coerce the finished array after the fact. This has a number of benefits,
one being that we can allow an empty ARRAY[] construct so long as its
element type is specified by such a cast.

* Experiment with multi-threaded backend better I/O utilization
This would allow a single query to make use of multiple I/O channels

pre-fetch sequential and index scan pages needed by other backends.
This could be expanded to allow concurrent reads from multiple devices

Fix LISTEN/NOTIFY race condition reported by Laurent Birtz, by postponing
...
pg_listener modifications commanded by LISTEN and UNLISTEN until the end
of the current transaction. This allows us to hold the ExclusiveLock on
pg_listener until after commit, with no greater risk of deadlock than there
was before. Aside from fixing the race condition, this gets rid of a
truly ugly kludge that was there before, namely having to ignore
HeapTupleBeingUpdated failures during NOTIFY. There is a small potential
incompatibility, which is that if a transaction issues LISTEN or UNLISTEN
and then looks into pg_listener before committing, it won't see any resulting
row insertion or deletion, where before it would have. It seems unlikely
that anyone would be depending on that, though.
This patch also disallows LISTEN and UNLISTEN inside a prepared transaction.
That case had some pretty undesirable properties already, such as possibly
allowing pg_listener entries to be made for PIDs no longer present, so
disallowing it seems like a better idea than trying to maintain the behavior.
