Tom Lane e82d9e6283 Adjust elog.c so that elog(FATAL) exits (including cases where ERROR is 
promoted to FATAL) end in exit(1) not exit(0).  Then change the postmaster to
allow exit(1) without a system-wide panic, but not for the startup subprocess
or the bgwriter.  There were a couple of places that were using exit(1) to
deliberately force a system-wide panic; adjust these to be exit(2) instead.
This fixes the problem noted back in July that if the startup process exits
with elog(ERROR), the postmaster would think everything is hunky-dory and
proceed to start up.  Alternative solutions such as trying to run the entire
startup process as a critical section seem less clean, primarily because of
the fact that a fair amount of startup code is shared by all postmaster
children in the EXEC_BACKEND case.  We'd need an ugly special case somewhere
near the head of main.c to make it work if it's the child process's
responsibility to determine what happens; and what's the point when the
postmaster already treats different children differently?

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 but not complete 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://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pljava/projdisplay.php
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/.
