Bruce Momjian cda598e184 Move item to proper section: 
< * Experiment with multi-threaded backend better resource utilization
<
<   This would allow a single query to make use of multiple CPU's or
<   multiple I/O channels simultaneously.  One idea is to create a
<   background reader that can pre-fetch sequential and index scan
<   pages needed by other backends.  This could be expanded to allow
<   concurrent reads from multiple devices in a partitioned table.

Bruce Momjian c7e8d0f392 This item was fixed in a different way, so has been removed: 
<
< * Allow free-behind capability for large sequential scans to avoid
<   kernel cache spoiling
<
<   Posix_fadvise() can control both sequential/random file caching and
<   free-behind behavior, but it is unclear how the setting affects other
<   backends that also have the file open, and the feature is not supported
<   on all operating systems.

Tom Lane 1ebff9ba81 Make documentation of -W options more accurate and uniform. 2007-12-11 19:57:32 +00:00
Tom Lane 1161f1ae14 Remove the long-deprecated -u option from psql, since it does nothing very 
useful and confuses people who think it is the same as -U.  (Eventually
we might want to re-introduce it as being an alias for -U, but that should
not happen until the switch has actually not been there for a few releases.)
Likewise in pg_dump and pg_restore.  Per gripe from Robert Treat and
subsequent discussion.
 2007-12-11 19:01:06 +00:00
Magnus Hagander 3a7211aaf7 Typo pointed out by Erwin Brandstetter. Remove the whole makes it even
