* shared memory attaching in EXEC_BACKEND case (+ minor fix for apparent

* PATH env var separator differences

* placeholder replacements for sync etc under port.h
To those who are really interested, and there are a few of you: the attached
patch + file will allow the source base to be compiled (and, for some
definition, "run") under MingW, with the following caveats (I wanted to
first properly fix all but the last of these, but y'all won't quit asking
for a patch :-):
* child death: SIGCHLD not yet sent, so as a minimum, you'll need to
put in some sort of delay after StartupDatabase, and handle setting
StartupPID to 0 etc (ie. the stuff the reaper() signal function is supposed
to do)
* dirmod.c: comment out the elog calls
* dfmgr.c: some hackage required to substitute_libpath_macro
* slru/xact.c: comment out the errno checking after the readdir
(fixed by next version of MingW)
Again, this is only if you *really* want to see postgres compile and start,
and is a nice leg-up for working on the other Win32 TODO list items. Just
don't expect too much else from it at this point...

little more sane. Some parts of the code was using a static function

fail in the presence of multiple IN clauses containing sub-joins. These
changes appear to improve the behavior enough that we can substantially reduce
the default pool size and generations count, thereby decreasing the runtime,
and yet get as good or better plans as we were getting in 7.4. Consequently,

Also, modify code that builds finished Plan tree so that node types that

bug: wrong plan would have been generated for a 'special operator' used
in a nestloop-inner-indexscan join qual, because the special operator
would not have gotten into the list of quals to recheck. This bug is
only latent because at present the special-operator code could never
trigger on a join qual, but sooner or later someone will want to do it.

the same relation. This implements the other useful side-effect of
conversion to CNF format, without its unpleasant side-effects. As

not only when it is a potential join clause (there is a new boolean
field canjoin to signal the latter condition). This lets us avoid
recomputing the relid sets over and over while examining indexes.
Still more work to do to make this as useful as it could be, because
there are places that could use the info but don't have access to the
RestrictInfo node.
just look for common clauses that can be pulled out of ORs. Per recent

The patch basically is a slight rearrangement of the code to allow
fork/exec on Unix, with the ultimate goal of doing CreateProcess on
Win32. The changes are:
o Write out postmaster global variables and per-backend
variables to be read by the exec'ed backend
o Mark some static variables as global when exec is used so
then can be dumped from postmaster.c, marked NON_EXEC_STATIC
o Remove value passing with -p now that we have per-backend
file
o Move some pointer storage out of shared memory for easier
dumping.
o Modified pgsql_temp directory cleanup to handle per-database
directories and the backend exec directory under datadir.

output ISO-8601 compliant intervals by setting datestyle to

Interval values can now be written as ISO 8601 time intervals, using
the "Format with time-unit designators". This format always starts with
the character 'P', followed by a string of values followed
by single character time-unit designators. A 'T' separates the date and
time parts of the interval.

. Get rid of INVALID_TABLEID, use INVALID_LOCKMETHOD instead.
. Use INVALID_LOCKMETHOD instead of (LOCKMETHOD) NULL, because
LOCKMETHOD is not a pointer.
. Define and use macro LockMethodIsValid.
. Rename LOCKMETHOD to LOCKMETHODID.
. Remove global variable LongTermTableId in lmgr.c, because it is
never used.
. Make LockTableId static in lmgr.c, because it is used nowhere else.
Why not remove it and use DEFAULT_LOCKMETHOD?
. Rename the lock method control structure from LOCKMETHODTABLE to
LockMethodData. Introduce a pointer type named LockMethod.
. Remove elog(FATAL) after InitLockTable() call in
CreateSharedMemoryAndSemaphores(), because if something goes wrong,
there is elog(FATAL) in LockMethodTableInit(), and if this doesn't
help, an elog(ERROR) in InitLockTable() is promoted to FATAL.
. Make InitLockTable() void, because its only caller does not use its
return value any more.
. Rename variables in lock.c to avoid statements like
LockMethodTable[NumLockMethods] = lockMethodTable;
lockMethodTable = LockMethodTable[lockmethod];
. Change LOCKMETHODID type to uint16 to fit into struct LOCKTAG.
. Remove static variables BITS_OFF and BITS_ON from lock.c, because

pghackers proposal of 8-Nov. All the existing cross-type comparison
operators (int2/int4/int8 and float4/float8) have appropriate support.
The original proposal of storing the right-hand-side datatype as part of
the primary key for pg_amop and pg_amproc got modified a bit in the event;
it is easier to store zero as the 'default' case and only store a nonzero
when the operator is actually cross-type. Along the way, remove the
long-since-defunct bigbox_ops operator class.
Remove the 'strategy map' code, which was a large amount of mechanism
that no longer had any use except reverse-mapping from procedure OID to
strategy number. Passing the strategy number to the index AM in the
first place is simpler and faster.
This is a preliminary step in planned support for cross-datatype index
operations. I'm committing it now since the ScanKeyEntryInitialize()
API change touches quite a lot of files, and I want to commit those
changes before the tree drifts under me.

fully search-path-proof yet; also, element_types view did not work for
parameters and result types of functions, because it didn't generate
the object_name for the function the same way the data_type_privileges
view does. While at it, centralize dependencies on INDEX_MAX_KEYS/
FUNC_MAX_ARGS into a function returning setof int, so that it will be
easier to fix information_schema for nonstandard values of these
parameters.
Use pg_get_constraintdef instead of pg_constraint.consrc
Use UNION ALL instread of UNION
Make use of regclass type for getting OID of system catalogs
Add schema qualifications where necessary
Fix typos
of the entries used to be zero, which I think I had deliberately done in
the name of saving cycles during ANALYZE, but it was really a rather
foolish decision. Some of the more complex views in information_schema
were getting really bad plans for lack of statistics on the columns they
were joining over.
I'm not forcing an initdb for this, but I think there will be one soon
anyway to repair some bugs in the information_schema views.
memory say 'out of shared memory'; some were doing that and some just
said 'out of memory'. Also add a HINT about increasing max_locks_per_transaction
where relevant, per suggestion from Sean Chittenden. (The former change
does not break the strings freeze; the latter does, but I think it's
worth doing anyway.)
protocol, per report from Igor Shevchenko. NOTIFY thought it could
do its thing if transaction blockState is TBLOCK_DEFAULT, but in
reality it had better check the low-level transaction state is
TRANS_DEFAULT as well. Formerly it was not possible to wait for the
client in a state where the first is true and the second is not ...
but now we can have such a state. Minor cleanup in StartTransaction()
as well.
up by quotes or backslashes in words that are being matched to database
names (per gripe from Ian Barwick, though I didn't use his patch).
Also fix possible memory leakage if _complete_with_query isn't run to
completion (not clear if that can happen or not, but be safe).
be made, to avoid corner cases where max_connections ends up unreasonably
small because shared_buffers is hogging too much shmem space. Per pghackers
discussion about a week ago. Also, fix the copy-newlines problem in a
more robust way, by using COPY FROM filename instead of COPY FROM STDIN;
per a suggestion from Peter.
when the pg_class.relhassubclass value is already correct. This should
avoid most cases of the 'tuple concurrently updated' problem that
Robert Creager recently complained about. Also remove a bunch of dead
code in StoreCatalogInheritance() --- it was still computing the complete
list of direct and indirect inheritance ancestors, though that list has
not been needed since we got rid of the pg_ipl catalog.
