Tatsuo Ishii cdf4b9aff2 Apply patches from Neil Conway.
> Hi Tatsuo,
>
> I've attached a patch for the version of pgbench in CVS. It includes the
> following changes:
>
>     - fix some spelling mistakes, indentation stuff, etc.
>
>     - minor code cleanup -- (void) args instead of (), etc.
>
>     - allocate the state array dynamically, so that it is only as
>     large as needed. This reduces the memory consumption of pgbench
>     slightly, and makes a larger MAXCLIENTS setting possible
>
>     - (the only controversial change) add an option "-l" to log
>     transaction latencies to a file. The "transaction latency"
>     is the time between when the BEGIN is issued and the transaction
>     commits. This is written to a file, along with the client #
>     and the transaction #. The data in the file can then be used
>     for things like:
>
>         - consistency analysis: is the TPS the same through the
>         entire run of pgbench, or does it change?
>
>         - more detailed stats: what is the average latency, worse-case
>         latency, best-case latency?
>
>         - graphs: feed the data to gnuplot, graph latency versus. time
>
>         - etc.
>
>     I was going to store this data in memory and write it to disk
>     at the end of the pgbench run, but that isn't feasible because
>     the data can be very large: for example, ~70MB if benchmarking
>     128 clients doing 100,000 transactions each.

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 several language
bindings, including C, C++, Perl, Python, and Tcl, as well as drivers
for JDBC and ODBC.

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
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/.  For more information look at our web
site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
