7f2f798b30 Mention as a potential incompatibility the fact that SELECT DISTINCT, UNION, 
etc are no longer guaranteed to produce sorted output; per gripe from Ian
Barwick.  Also improve the release note entries about to_timestamp(), per
Brendan Jurd.

06e2757277 Remove SQL-compatibility function cardinality(). It is not exactly clear 
how this ought to behave for multi-dimensional arrays.  Per discussion,
not having it at all seems better than having it with what might prove
to be the wrong behavior.  We can always add it later when we have consensus
on the correct behavior.

4703250a76 Remove psql's ancient hack that suppressed functions taking or returning 
cstring from the output of \df.  Now that the default behavior is to
exclude all system functions, the de-cluttering rationale for this behavior
seems pretty weak; and it was always quite confusing/unhelpful if you were
actually looking for I/O functions.  (Not to mention if you were looking
for encoding converters or other cases that might take or return cstring.)

65e758a4d3 Remove contrib/intarray's definitions of the <@ and @> operators, so that they 
don't cause confusion with the built-in anyarray versions of those operators.
Adjust the module's index opclasses to support the built-in operators in place
of the private ones.

The private implementations are still available under their historical
names @ and ~, so no functionality is lost.  Some quick testing suggests
that they offer no real benefit over the core operators, however.

Per a complaint from Rusty Conover.

df13324f08 Add a "relistemp" boolean column to pg_class, which is true for temporary 
relations (including a temp table's indexes and toast table/index), and
false for normal relations.  For ease of checking, this commit just adds
the column and fills it correctly --- revising the relation access machinery
to use it will come separately.

87b8db3774 Adjust the APIs for GIN opclass support functions to allow the extractQuery() 
method to pass extra data to the consistent() and comparePartial() methods.
This is the core infrastructure needed to support the soon-to-appear
contrib/btree_gin module.  The APIs are still upward compatible with the
definitions used in 8.3 and before, although *not* with the previous 8.4devel
function definitions.

catversion bump for changes in pg_proc entries (although these are just
cosmetic, since GIN doesn't actually look at the function signature before
calling it...)

Teodor Sigaev and Oleg Bartunov
 2009-03-25 22:19:02 +00:00
Tom Lane
ff301d6e69 Implement "fastupdate" support for GIN indexes, in which we try to accumulate 
multiple index entries in a holding area before adding them to the main index
structure.  This helps because bulk insert is (usually) significantly faster
than retail insert for GIN.

This patch also removes GIN support for amgettuple-style index scans.  The
API defined for amgettuple is difficult to support with fastupdate, and
the previously committed partial-match feature didn't really work with
it either.  We might eventually figure a way to put back amgettuple
support, but it won't happen for 8.4.

catversion bumped because of change in GIN's pg_am entry, and because
the format of GIN indexes changed on-disk (there's a metapage now,
and possibly a pending list).

5698f6b925 Remove the -d and -D options of pg_dump and pg_dumpall. The functionality 
is still available, but you must now write the long equivalent --inserts

0fd85d7879 Remove the datetime keywords ABSTIME and RELTIME, which we'd been treating as

this is taking backwards compatibility a little far.  Per gripe from Josh

00ce73778b Teach the planner to support index access methods that only implement 
amgettuple or only implement amgetbitmap, instead of the former assumption
that every AM supports both APIs.  Extracted with minor editorialization

like a simple and reasonable generalization of the index AM interface spec.
