Tom Lane f9f258281e Create a GUC parameter max_files_per_process that is a configurable
upper limit on what we will believe from sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX).  The
default value is 1000, so that under ordinary conditions it won't
affect the behavior.  But on platforms where the kernel promises far
more than it can deliver, this can be used to prevent running out of
file descriptors.  See numerous past discussions, eg, pgsql-hackers
around 23-Dec-2000.

Peter Eisentraut 14d330b5b6 Use <mediaobject> instead of <graphic> for forward compatibility. Be more
flexible about the extension of the graphic files, allow for other formats
in print output.  (Generating these formats is not implemented yet.)

Bruce Momjian 0386ccfed1 Back out change. Too many place to change too close to beta:
* HOLDER/HOLDERTAB rename to PROCLOCKLINK/PROCLOCKLINKTAG (Bruce)

Will return later.

Bruce Momjian ebfa88c4ec Update TODO list. 2001-09-29 21:37:06 +00:00
Tom Lane 499abb0c0f Implement new 'lightweight lock manager' that's intermediate between
existing lock manager and spinlocks: it understands exclusive vs shared
lock but has few other fancy features.  Replace most uses of spinlocks
with lightweight locks.  All remaining uses of spinlocks have very short
lock hold times (a few dozen instructions), so tweak spinlock backoff
code to work efficiently given this assumption.  All per my proposal on
pghackers 26-Sep-01.

rule to remake it when necessary.

Tom Lane 35b7601b04 Add an overall timeout on the client authentication cycle, so that
a hung client or lost connection can't indefinitely block a postmaster
child (not to mention the possibility of deliberate DoS attacks).
Timeout is controlled by new authentication_timeout GUC variable,
which I set to 60 seconds by default ... does that seem reasonable?

Tom Lane c969fed7ec Give VACUUM its own GUC parameter for memory usage, rather than
piggybacking on SortMem.  Add documentation for some recently-added
GUC parameters that had so far escaped it.

Peter Eisentraut a1ee06625c Provide tunable knob for x = NULL -> x IS NULL transformation, default to off. 2001-09-20 14:20:28 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 4a4abd4232 Generate index.html as the root file name of the documentation set,
rather than making index.html a symlink to the autogenerated name.
Fixes fatal problems with tar programs that don't handle symlinks
very well (MacOS X).

(The names user.html, admin.html, etc. are still available as make
targets, but they aren't packaged anymore.)

Use the manifest file that the stylesheets generate as the file list
for packaging.  Put graphics in the right place while building, not
while packaging, so you can actually look at them after building.
