66989aa2d6 Added new group of read-only GUC variables to allow simple access
to certain compile-time options (FUNC_MAX_ARGS, INDEX_MAX_KEYS,
NAMEDATALEN, BLCKSZ, HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP). Also added "category",
"short_desc", and "extra_desc" to the pg_settings view. Per recent
discussion here:

7f8f7665fc Planner failed to be smart about binary-compatible expressions in pathkeys
and hash bucket-size estimation.  Issue has been there awhile but is more
critical in 7.4 because it affects varchar columns.  Per report from
Greg Stark.

ea4b9f14f3 I've run across a pretty serious problem with pg_autovacuum.
pg_autovacuum looses track of any table that's ever been truncated
(possibly other situations too).   When i truncate a table it gets a
new relfilenode in pg_class.  This is a problem because pg_autovacuum
assumes pg_class.relfilenode will join to pg_stats_all_tables.relid.
pg_stats_all_tables.relid is actallly the oid from pg_class, not the
relfilenode.   These two values start out equal so pg_autovacuum works
initially, but it fails later on because of this incorrect assumption.

This patch fixes that problem.  Applied to HEAD and 7.4.X.

15b5d6cfc6 I noticed in the 7.4 release that in contrib/pg_autovacuum, args->logfile is
not initialized if a log file is not specified on the command line.  This
causes an immediate segfault on systems that fill allocated memory with some
value other than zero (my FreeBSD machine uses 0xD0).

Several crashes later I discovered that args->user, password, host, and port
are also used without being initialized.

This doesn't appear to be fixed in CVS and I came up empty on a mailing list
search -- hope it hasn't been reported already.

be one) too.

5e2b99db95 Avoid assuming that type key_t is 32 bits, since it reportedly isn't
on 64-bit Solaris.  Use a non-system-dependent datatype for UsedShmemSegID,
namely unsigned long (which we were already assuming could hold a shmem
key anyway, cf RecordSharedMemoryInLockFile).

35ddc2edee This patch reduces some unsightly #ifdefs, and fixes two typos in
comments in the psql code. This doesn't make any functional change, so
feel free to save it for 7.5

abd5d75c4c This patch finishes off the work that I did with making view
definitions use pretty printing.

It does:

* Pretty index predicates
* Pretty rule definitions
* Uppercases PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE to be consistent with CHECK and
FOREIGN KEY
* View rules are improved to match table rules:

7ce9b7c0d8 This patch adds a new GUC var, "default_with_oids", which follows the
proposal for eventually deprecating OIDs on user tables that I posted
earlier to pgsql-hackers. pg_dump now always specifies WITH OIDS or
WITHOUT OIDS when dumping a table. The documentation has been updated.

e7ca867485 Try to reduce confusion about what is a lock method identifier, a lock
method control structure, or a table of control structures.

. Use type LOCKMASK where an int is not a counter.

. Get rid of INVALID_TABLEID, use INVALID_LOCKMETHOD instead.

. Use INVALID_LOCKMETHOD instead of (LOCKMETHOD) NULL, because
  LOCKMETHOD is not a pointer.

. Define and use macro LockMethodIsValid.

. Rename LOCKMETHOD to LOCKMETHODID.

. Remove global variable LongTermTableId in lmgr.c, because it is
  never used.

. Make LockTableId static in lmgr.c, because it is used nowhere else.
  Why not remove it and use DEFAULT_LOCKMETHOD?

. Rename the lock method control structure from LOCKMETHODTABLE to
  LockMethodData.  Introduce a pointer type named LockMethod.

. Remove elog(FATAL) after InitLockTable() call in
  CreateSharedMemoryAndSemaphores(), because if something goes wrong,
  there is elog(FATAL) in LockMethodTableInit(), and if this doesn't
  help, an elog(ERROR) in InitLockTable() is promoted to FATAL.

. Make InitLockTable() void, because its only caller does not use its
  return value any more.

. Rename variables in lock.c to avoid statements like
        LockMethodTable[NumLockMethods] = lockMethodTable;
        lockMethodTable = LockMethodTable[lockmethod];

. Change LOCKMETHODID type to uint16 to fit into struct LOCKTAG.

. Remove static variables BITS_OFF and BITS_ON from lock.c, because
  I agree to this doubt:
 * XXX is a fetch from a static array really faster than a shift?

. Define and use macros LOCKBIT_ON/OFF.

04a4821ade Attached is a patch implementing factorial(), returning numeric. Points
to note:

1) arttype is numeric. I thought this was the best way of allowing
arbitarily large factorials, even though factorial(2^63) is a large
number. Happy to change to integers if this is overkill.
2) since we're accepting numeric arguments, the patch tests for floats.
If a numeric is passed with non-zero decimal portion, an error is raised
since (from memory) they are undefined.
