Tom Lane c931c07124 Repair VACUUM FULL bug introduced by HOT patch: the original way of
calculating a page's initial free space was fine, and should not have been
"improved" by letting PageGetHeapFreeSpace do it.  VACUUM FULL is going to
reclaim LP_DEAD line pointers later, so there is no need for a guard
against the page being too full of line pointers, and having one risks
rejecting pages that are perfectly good move destinations.

This also exposed a second bug, which is that the empty_end_pages logic
assumed that any page with no live tuples would get entered into the
fraged_pages list automatically (by virtue of having more free space than
the threshold in the do_frag calculation).  This assumption certainly
seems risky when a low fillfactor has been chosen, and even without
tunable fillfactor I think it could conceivably fail on a page with many
unused line pointers.  So fix the code to force do_frag true when notup
is true, and patch this part of the fix all the way back.

Per report from Tomas Szepe.

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 including some of the more
common listed below:

C++ - http://thaiopensource.org/development/libpqxx/
JDBC - http://jdbc.postgresql.org
ODBC - http://odbc.postgresql.org
Perl - http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/
PHP - http://www.php.net
Python - http://www.initd.org/
Ruby - http://ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/

Other language binding are available from a variety of contributing
parties.

PostgreSQL also has a great number of procedural languages available,
a short, incomplete list is below:

PL/pgSQL - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/Perl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/PHP - http://projects.commandprompt.com/projects/public/plphp
PL/Python - included in PostgreSQL source distribution
PL/Java - http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pljava/
PL/Tcl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution

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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
