are now critical sections, so as to ensure die() won't interrupt us while
we are munging shared-memory data structures. Avoid insecure intermediate
states in some code that proc_exit will call, like palloc/pfree. Rename
START/END_CRIT_CODE to START/END_CRIT_SECTION, since that seems to be
what people tend to call them anyway, and make them be called with () like
a function call, in hopes of not confusing pg_indent.
I doubt that this is sufficient to make SIGTERM safe anywhere; there's
just too much code that could get invoked during proc_exit().
- Fix handling of --tables=* (multiple tables never worked properly, AFAICT)
- strdup() the current user in DB routines
- Check results of IO routines more carefully.
- Check results of PQ routines more carefully.
Have not fixed index output yet.
1. Support of variable size keys - new algorithm of insertion to tree
(GLI - gist layrered insertion). Previous algorithm was implemented
as described in paper by Joseph M. Hellerstein et.al
"Generalized Search Trees for Database Systems". This (old)
algorithm was not suitable for variable size keys and could be
not effective ( walking up-down ) in case of multiple levels split
Bug fixed:
1. fixed bug in gistPageAddItem - key values were written to disk
uncompressed. This caused failure if decompression function
does real job.
2. NULLs handling - we keep NULLs in tree. Right way is to remove them,
but we don't know how to inform vacuum about index statistics. This is
just cosmetic warning message (like in case with R-Tree),
but I'm not sure how to recognize real problem if we remove NULLs
and suppress this warning as Tom suggested.
3. various memory leaks

Eliminate some of the more blatant platform-dependencies ... it
builds here now, anyway ...
----------------------------
Which basically changes u_int*_t -> uint*_t, so now it does not
compile neither under Debian 2.2 nor under NetBSD 1.5 which
is platform independent<B8> all right. Also it replaces $KAME$
with $Id$ which is Bad Thing. PostgreSQL Id should be added as a
separate line so the file history could be seen.
So here is patch:
* changes uint*_t -> uint*. I guess that was the original
intention
* adds uint64 type to include/c.h because its needed
[somebody should check if I did it right]
* adds back KAME Id, because KAME is the master repository
* removes stupid c++ comments in pgcrypto.c
* removes <sys/types.h> from the code, its not needed

find it ambiguous. I propose something along the lines of the
following patch to clarify it. Thanks.
(Alternatively, perhaps the code could maintain a count of nested
calls to SPI_connect/SPI_finish. But I didn't try to write that
patch.)

large-ish bugs that Tom and Vadim were able to fix, but to avoid any
confusion, beta2 was removed ... and for tag'ng purposes, beta3 is being
created ...
- no more elog(STOP) in StartupXLOG();
- both checkpoint' undo & redo are used to define
oldest on-line log file.
2. Ability to pre-allocate a few log files at checkpoint time
(wal_files option). Off by default.
as both a GROUP BY item and an output expression, the top-level Group
node should just copy up the evaluated expression value from its input,
rather than re-evaluating the expression. Aside from any performance
benefit this might offer, this avoids a crash when there is a sub-SELECT
in said expression.
