overly strong lock on pg_depend, and it wasn't closing the rel when done.
The latter bug was masked by the ResourceOwner code, which is something
that should be changed.
never-yet-vacuumed relation. This restores the pre-8.0 behavior of
avoiding seqscans during initial data loading, while still allowing
reasonable optimization after a table has been vacuumed. Several
regression test cases revert to 7.4-like behavior, which is probably
a good sign. Per gripes from Keith Browne and others.
currently does. This is now the default Win32 wal sync method because
we perfer o_datasync to fsync.
Also, change Win32 fsync to a new wal sync method called
fsync_writethrough because that is the behavior of _commit, which is
what is used for fsync on Win32.
Backpatch to 8.0.X.
explicit paths, so that the log can be replayed in a data directory
with a different absolute path than the original had. To avoid forcing
initdb in the 8.0 branch, continue to accept the old WAL log record
types; they will never again be generated however, and the code can be
dropped after the next forced initdb. Per report from Oleg Bartunov.
We still need to think about what it really means to WAL-log CREATE
TABLESPACE commands: we more or less have to put the absolute path
into those, but how to replay in a different context??
up-to-speed logic; in particular this will cause it to quote names that
match keywords. Remove unnecessary multibyte cruft from quote_literal
(all backend-internal encodings are 8-bit-safe).
is still alive. This improves our odds of not getting fooled by an
unrelated process when checking a stale lock file. Other checks already
in place, plus one newly added in checkDataDir(), ensure that we cannot
attempt to usurp the place of a postmaster belonging to a different userid,
so there is no need to error out. Add comments indicating the importance
of these other checks.
locale is C.
Backpatch to 8.0.X because some operating systems were throwing errors
for such operations, rather than ignoring the locale when it was C.
0.9.7x have EVP_DigestFinal function which which clears all of
EVP_MD_CTX. This makes pgcrypto crash in functions which
re-use one digest context several times: hmac() and crypt()
with md5 algorithm.
Following patch fixes it by carring the digest info around
EVP_DigestFinal and re-initializing cipher.

elog if the former has trouble writing its file. Code review for
Magnus' patch to redirect stderr to syslog on Windows (Bruce's version
seems right, but did some minor prettification).
Backpatch both changes to 8.0 branch.
simpler 2Q algorithm, to avoid possible problems with the pending patent
on ARC. Testing so far suggests that there is little if any performance
loss from doing this.
Note that this patch is going into the 8.0 branch only; a much more
extensive revision is planned for HEAD.
no held locks. This maintains the invariant that proclocks are present
only for procs that are holding or awaiting a lock; when this is not
true, LockRelease will fail. Per report from Stephen Clouse.
indexscans involving partial indexes. These would always be dominated
by a simple indexscan on such an index, so there's no point in considering
them. Fixes overoptimism in a patch I applied last October.
it was in 7.4, and add some comments explaining why it has to be this way.
I broke it for OR'd index predicates in a fit of code cleanup last summer.
Per example from Sergey Koshcheyev.
