pointer" in every Snapshot struct. This allows removal of the case-by-case tests in HeapTupleSatisfiesVisibility, which should make it a bit faster (I didn't try any performance tests though). More importantly, we are no longer violating portable C practices by assuming that small integers are distinct from all pointer values, and HeapTupleSatisfiesDirty no longer has a non-reentrant API involving side-effects on a global variable. There were a couple of places calling HeapTupleSatisfiesXXX routines directly rather than through the HeapTupleSatisfiesVisibility macro. Since these places had to be changed anyway, I chose to make them go through the macro for uniformity. Along the way I renamed HeapTupleSatisfiesSnapshot to HeapTupleSatisfiesMVCC to emphasize that it's only used with MVCC-type snapshots. I was sorely tempted to rename HeapTupleSatisfiesVisibility to HeapTupleSatisfiesSnapshot, but forebore for the moment to avoid confusion and reduce the likelihood that this patch breaks some of the pending patches. Might want to reconsider doing that later. |

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/.
