Robert Haas ea42cc18c3 Track the oldest XID that can be safely looked up in CLOG.
This provides infrastructure for looking up arbitrary, user-supplied
XIDs without a risk of scary-looking failures from within the clog
module.  Normally, the oldest XID that can be safely looked up in CLOG
is the same as the oldest XID that can reused without causing
wraparound, and the latter is already tracked.  However, while
truncation is in progress, the values are different, so we must
keep track of them separately.

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, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

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.  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/.
