Add code to delete leftover temp files during postmaster startup.

should be computed from total number of distinct values in whole
relation, not # distinct values we expect to have after restriction
clauses are applied.
for GRANT/REVOKE is now just that, not "CHANGE".
On the way, migrate some of the aclitem internal representation away from
the parser and build a real parse tree instead. Also add some 'const'
qualifiers.
appropriate pin-count manipulation, and instead use ReleaseAndReadBuffer.
Make use of the fact that the passed-in buffer (if there is one) must
be pinned to avoid grabbing the bufmgr spinlock when we are able to
return this same buffer. Eliminate unnecessary 'previous tuple' and
'next tuple' fields of HeapScanDesc and IndexScanDesc, thereby removing
a whole lot of bookkeeping from heap_getnext() and related routines.
checkpoint's redo pointer, not its undo pointer, per discussion in
pghackers a few days ago. No point in hanging onto undo information
until we have the ability to do something with it --- and this solves
a rather large problem with log space for long-running transactions.
Also, change all calls of write() to detect the case where write
returned a count less than requested, but failed to set errno.
Presume that this situation indicates ENOSPC, and give the appropriate
error message, rather than a random message associated with the previous
value of errno.
copy PUBLIC access rights into each newly created ACL entry. Instead
treat each ACL entry as independent flags. Also clean up some ugliness
in acl.h API.
WHERE (a = 1 or a = 2) and b = 42
and an index on (a,b), include the clause b = 42 in the indexquals
generated for each arm of the OR clause. Essentially this is an index-
driven conversion from CNF to DNF. Implementation is a bit klugy, but
better than not exploiting the extra quals at all ...
of costsize.c routines to pass Query root, so that costsize can figure
more things out by itself and not be so dependent on its callers to tell
it everything it needs to know. Use selectivity of hash or merge clause
to estimate number of tuples processed internally in these joins
(this is more useful than it would've been before, since eqjoinsel is
somewhat more accurate than before).
conditional rules (rules with WHERE clauses). We cannot support these
since there's noplace to hang a condition on a utility statement.
We caught the other case (attempt to attach a condition at rewrite time)
awhile ago, but this one escaped notice until now.
(vs. at the end of a normal sort). This ensures that explicit sorts
yield the same ordering as a btree index scan. To be really sure that
that equivalence holds, we use the btree entries in pg_amop to decide
whether we are looking at a '<' or '>' operator. For a sort operator
that has no btree association, we put the nulls at the front if the
operator is named '>' ... pretty grotty, but it does the right thing in
simple ASC and DESC cases, and at least there's no possibility of getting
a different answer depending on the plan type chosen.
Use --enable-nls to turn it on; see installation instructions for details.
See developer's guide how to make use of it in programs and how to add
translations.
psql sources have been almost fully prepared and an incomplete German
translation has been provided. In the backend, only elog() calls are
currently translatable, and the provided German translation file is more
of a placeholder.
given values that compare as unordered, make sure we reply that they
are equal, which is better than giving an arbitrary answer --- at least
it doesn't depend on which one is passed as which arg.

This was obscured by subsequent application of bpchar() in all but one

trailing blanks are hard to see. Add another test case to make it

calls. This has never actually cached anything, because postgres.c does
each fastpath call as a separate transaction command, and so fastpath.c
would always decide that its cache was outdated. If it had worked, it
would now be failing for calls of oldstyle functions due to dangling
pointers in the FmgrInfo struct. Rip it out for simplicity and bug-
proofing.
report on old-style functions invoked by RI triggers. We had a number of
other places that were being sloppy about which memory context FmgrInfo
subsidiary data will be allocated in. Turns out none of them actually
cause a problem in 7.1, but this is for arcane reasons such as the fact
that old-style triggers aren't supported anyway. To avoid getting burnt
later, I've restructured the trigger support so that we don't keep trigger
FmgrInfo structs in relcache memory. Some other related cleanups too:
it's not really necessary to call fmgr_info at all while setting up
the index support info in relcache entries, because those ScanKeyEntry
structs are never used to invoke the functions. This should speed up
relcache initialization a tiny bit.
because cached fmgr info contained reference to a shorter-lived data
structure. Also guard against possibility that fmgr_info could fail,
leaving an incomplete entry present in the hash table.
when added by alter table add constraint. The first file
patches backend/commands/command.c and the latter is a patch
to the alter table regression test.

basically want your guys feedback. I have sprinkled some of my q's thru
the text delimited with the @@ symbol. It seems to work perfectly.
[ Removed @@ comments because patch was reviewed. ]
At the moment it does CHECK constraints only, with inheritance. However,
due to the problem mentioned before with the mismatching between inherited
constraints it may be wise to disable the inheritance feature for a while.
it is written in an extensible fashion to support future dropping of other
types of constraint, and is well documented.
Please send me your comments, check my use of locking, updating of
indices, use of ERROR and NOTICE, etc. and I will rework the patch based
on feedback until everyone
is happy with it...

from an empty text string. This makes them consistent with the de facto
behavior of type char's I/O conversion functions, and avoids generating
text values with embedded nulls, which confuse many text operators.
the same tuple slot that the raw tuple came from, because that slot has
the wrong tuple descriptor. Store it into its own slot with the correct
descriptor, instead. This repairs problems with SPI functions seeing
inappropriate tuple descriptors --- for example, plpgsql code failing to
cope with SELECT FOR UPDATE.
Python) to support shared extension modules, I have learned that Guido
prefers the style of the attached patch to solve the above problem.
I feel that this solution is particularly appropriate in this case
because the following:
PglargeType
PgType
PgQueryType
are already being handled in the way that I am proposing for PgSourceType.

it does not support 64bit integers. AFAIK that's the default data type for
OIDs, so I am not surprised that this does not work. Use gcc instead.
BTW., 7.1 does not compile as is with gcc either, I believed the
required patches made it into the 7.1.1 release but obviously I missed
the deadline.
Since the ports mailing list does not seem to be archived I have attached
a copy of the patch (for 7.1 and 7.1.1).
I've just performed a build of a Watcom compiled version and found a couple
of bugs in the watcom specific part of that patch. Please use the attached
version instead.

to do that, but inconsistently.) Make bit type reject too short input,
too, per SQL. Since it no longer zero pads, 'zpbit*' has been renamed to
'bit*' in the source, hence initdb.
