Tom Lane 060bb38d07 Ignore nextOid when replaying an ONLINE checkpoint.
The nextOid value is from the start of the checkpoint and may well be stale
compared to values from more recent XLOG_NEXTOID records.  Previously, we
adopted it anyway, allowing the OID counter to go backwards during a crash.
While this should be harmless, it contributed to the severity of the bug
fixed in commit 0408e1ed5, by allowing duplicate TOAST OIDs to be assigned
immediately following a crash.  Without this error, that issue would only
have arisen when TOAST objects just younger than a multiple of 2^32 OIDs
were deleted and then not vacuumed in time to avoid a conflict.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
