Heikki Linnakangas 9cca11c915 Speed up SUM calculation in numeric aggregates.
This introduces a numeric sum accumulator, which performs better than
repeatedly calling add_var(). The performance comes from using wider digits
and delaying carry propagation, tallying positive and negative values
separately, and avoiding a round of palloc/pfree on every value. This
speeds up SUM(), as well as other standard aggregates like AVG() and
STDDEV() that also calculate a sum internally.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

thread/
  A thread-safety-testing utility used by configure
